About my Practice

--- located in Richland, WA

At Madrigal Counseling, LLC, I offer online therapy for individuals and couples in Richland, WA and throughout Washington state. My work is real, relational, and deeply rooted in emotional connection. I specialize in helping clients navigate relationship issues, emotional disconnection, anxiety, depression, identity challenges, and trauma—with compassion, cultural sensitivity, and clarity.

I’m Luis Javier Madrigal, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Richland, WA. I’m a bilingual therapist (English & Spanish) and a proud gay man, and I believe that who I am—my cultural background, queerness, and lived experience—is one of the most powerful assets I bring to the therapy space. Clients often come to me because they’re looking for a therapist who truly understands where they’re coming from and who creates a safe, affirming space for healing.

I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, an evidence-based approach developed by Dr. Sue Johnson. I’ve completed the full cycle of EFT training multiple times and regularly volunteer in EFT trainings to stay connected to the heart of this powerful work. Whether you’re a couple in crisis, experiencing emotional disconnection, or just want to feel close and secure again, EFT couples therapy offers a path toward lasting connection.

Whether you’re seeking LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, bilingual counseling in Richland, WA, or want to work with a therapist who truly “gets it,” I’m here to walk alongside you—not in front of you—with warmth, openness, and no judgment.

Therapy with me is fully online, so you can get the support you need from the comfort and privacy of your own space—anywhere in Washington state. My goal is that through our work together, you’ll feel more grounded, connected, and emotionally free.

Hola

My name is Luis Madrigal

Hi, I’m Luis Javier Madrigal, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Richland, WA, and I provide online therapy for individuals and couples across Washington state. I’m a bilingual therapist (English & Spanish), a proud gay man, and a passionate believer in the healing power of human connection.

I specialize in working with clients who are ready to dig deep, explore emotional patterns, and build healthier, more secure relationships—starting from within. Whether you're seeking support for relationship issues, emotional disconnection, identity exploration, trauma, anxiety, or depression, I'm here to support your growth with compassion and clarity.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based method rooted in attachment theory. I’ve completed the full cycle of EFT training multiple times and regularly volunteer in trainings because I believe so deeply in this model. For me, EFT isn’t just a tool—it’s a way of understanding how we connect, heal, and grow.

As a Latino, LGBTQ+ therapist, I bring my lived experience into the therapy space. I understand what it’s like to navigate cultural expectations, family dynamics, queerness, and the challenges of being human in a complex world. I don’t come in as an expert who has all the answers—I come in as a compassionate guide, someone who walks with you through your journey of healing and discovery.

I also host a podcast called Luisito Entre Amigos, where I share bilingual conversations about identity, healing, and emotional wellness. It’s an extension of the same work I do in therapy—creating space for authenticity, connection, and community.

Outside of work, you can usually find me curled up with a book, sipping tea, enjoying deep conversations, or hiding in a blanket fort with a good story. (No shame.)

If you're looking for an online therapist in Richland, WA, or anywhere in Washington, who is LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally aware, and grounded in relational healing—I’d be honored to connect with you.

Individual Therapy

Embrace Life’s Challenges

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) helps you explore and heal the emotional patterns that keep you stuck—in relationships and within yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling disconnected from who you are, this approach goes deeper than just managing symptoms.

EFIT is grounded in attachment science, meaning we look at how your past experiences and core emotional needs shape the way you move through the world today. Together, we work to understand your inner emotional world, build a stronger relationship with yourself, and create more meaningful connections with others.

This work is especially powerful for folks carrying the weight of unresolved relationship wounds, cultural pressures, or the impact of trauma, including PTSD. You don’t have to figure it all out alone—EFIT offers a structured, compassionate path toward healing and emotional freedom.

Couple's Counseling

Get the most out of life

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is all about helping you and your partner feel safe, seen, and emotionally connected again. Using the EFT approach, we focus on identifying and reshaping the patterns that keep you stuck—those painful cycles of disconnection, misunderstandings, or feeling like you can’t reach each other.

Together, we’ll explore the deeper emotions beneath the surface conflicts and create space for vulnerability, healing, and renewed trust. EFT is grounded in attachment science and designed to help couples build secure, lasting bonds by turning toward each other with empathy and openness.

Whether you're dealing with ongoing conflict, emotional distance, or simply want to strengthen your relationship, EFT offers a powerful path forward—one where love becomes a safe place again.
