Meet the Team

Madi Roberts LMHC, CST

I'm a proud graduate of Washington State University (GO COUGS!), where I earned my degree in Psychology and Human Development. Building on that foundation, I completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Sex Therapy and Sex Education at Antioch University Seattle. I am honored to hold certification as a sex therapist from AASECT.

Humor and humanity play integral roles in how I navigate the world along with how I show up as a clinician and educator. My absolute passion in this world is helping folx discover and celebrate what "normal" means for them. That’s where my idea of Hot Take came from!

Located in the vibrant Seattle area, I live with my fiancé, where we share our home with our fur babies Duke and Himmy.

Austin Cresap, MA, LMFT

she/her

Hi, I’m Austin Cresap, a Seattle-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Sex Therapist, and experienced Sex Educator. I believe I have one of the coolest jobs in the world, holding space for folks to explore their desires and strengthen their relationships.

Before becoming a therapist and educator, I spent over 16 years in the restaurant industry. During this time, I developed a keen ability to anticipate and adapt to unexpected situations, ensuring every event ran smoothly. My experience in the culinary world taught me the art of creating memorable experiences that bring people together, fostering connection and joy. 

With Hot Take, I merge these two worlds, offering unique and engaging parties that focus on providing sex education in a fun and relaxed setting.

When I’m not working, you can find me enjoying nature, practicing yoga, or exploring new restaurants with friends and family. 

“Austin and I first met as servers in Seattle and became friends right away. Both attending Antioch University Seattle in the counseling program and later went through the Sex Therapy Certificate Program. Upon graduation, we were hired on as Associate Sex Therapists in a group practice. Our friendship continued to grow and passions ignited!
