Who We Are
MADELINE PERRY, PSYD
Madeline Perry, PsyD, is a postdoctoral psychology fellow with expertise in evidence-based treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder, anxiety, and depression. She also has extensive training and experience working with complicated grief, insomnia, and ADHD.
Dr. Perry takes a warm, empathetic approach to her clinical work and prioritizes creating a space where clients feel deeply seen, understood, and supported. She is committed to culturally responsive care and continually educates herself on cultural factors that shape mental health, recognizing each client as the expert of their own lived experience. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrates acceptance and mindfulness-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Dr. Perry completed her predoctoral internship at Ochsner Health in New Orleans, where she advanced her skills in evidence-based assessment and treatment with adults. During this time, she received specialized training in DBT, brief manualized treatments, and intensive outpatient care.
She earned her doctorate in clinical psychology from William James College in the greater Boston area. Dr. Perry received comprehensive training in treating OCD and related disorders—including hoarding disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and body-focused repetitive behaviors—at the McLean Hospital OCD Institute, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. She also trained at Franciscan Children’s, an affiliate of Boston Children’s Hospital, where she provided evidence-based care to youth with a wide range of presenting concerns. Her additional experience includes work in community-based settings, including a public 6–12th grade school and a community health center.
Dr. Perry holds bachelor’s degrees in Neuroscience and Gender and Sexuality Studies from Tulane University. This interdisciplinary background informs her understanding of how both neurobiological and social systems shape behavior and mental health.
Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Perry enjoys spending time in nature, connecting with friends and family, and exploring new creative crafts.
