They want to show up in their relationships in a genuine way, and they want a life of meaning and purpose in all the many ways that this can be lived out. And often, the discovery is made that traumas, difficult experiences, and systems in their history, and the narratives created in felt experiences create the biggest obstacles to thriving in their current lives. I feel confident in my ability to help people create a loving relationship with themselves and then to step into their lives in a way that feels real and authentic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/b011af13-a45e-479c-88f7-b84d5d8ce7e8/photo-1603837532609-acc10359f026-21.jpg Home - Shame Reduction, Attachment and Reparenting Self https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/de3bea4b-978a-4c46-8e69-b42fa6cbc29f/%232Redforward.jpeg Home - Face-to-Face Video Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/c2e35124-0972-41e5-90f5-8da527356ca3/erol-ahmed-aIYFR0vbADk-unsplash-20.jpg Home - Jungian Informed Depth Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/7ebc973b-0330-4a00-94a3-76983da5e843/IMG_3133.JPG Home - Trauma and Attachment Treatment/EMDR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/96c5ee25-5bca-4886-aa6b-e19a594ecddb/curtis-hystad-MFWAglLtGRc-unsplash-31.jpg Home - General Psychotherapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/dcc8ec25-e2ae-430f-83f9-b4414e5ed5c7/Home-Contact.jpg Home - Taking the Next Step Book a session with me and let's start your healing process together. https://www.matheson-counseling.com/about daily 0.75 2022-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/a6550603-9ddd-46a1-9864-391b9ccf1028/professional+picture-green_hat_hand+on+chin-17-s.jpg About I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2003 and hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology (1991), a Master’s in Neuropsychology (1995) and a Master’s Degree in counseling (1999). I have worked in both hospital and outpatient mental health settings including Barrow Neurological Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital, the teaching hospital for Harvard Medical School. Prior to opening my solo private practice in 2003, I was on staff at Psychological Counseling Services, an internationally recognized private group practice in Scottsdale, Arizona. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/d2ef705e-ca93-44e2-9861-0ddaa648107b/about-last.jpg About My background and 30 years of clinical experience allow me to truly approach the client holistically. In addition to being a Meadows trained psychotherapist, I am well trained and experienced in other treatment modalities. To add even more bandwidth to help my clients access healing, I have undergone extensive depth work training through a Jungian informed lens, thereby allowing me to explore the inner world of the person through myth, dreamwork, expressive arts and narrative. My therapeutic approach allows my clients to move into the resiliency, joy and contentment they deserve, and to go forward living with more authenticity and agency over their own lives. https://www.matheson-counseling.com/resources daily 0.75 2022-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/2db866b4-763d-488f-81e1-890b7ae65656/EMDRIA-500px.jpg Resources - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.matheson-counseling.com/faq daily 0.75 2022-10-11 https://www.matheson-counseling.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/fd2f4461-077c-48c0-85bf-5df14581430f/Professional+photo-doorway_closeup-30-750.jpg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.matheson-counseling.com/services daily 0.75 2022-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/075e0ac7-c593-49e4-bcad-90d021e03163/about-trauma.jpg Services - Trauma and Attachment Treatment/EMDR My education, experience and training helps clients to address issues related to trauma, including sexual, emotional, spiritual, and physical abuse, as well as neglect and acute traumatic events. Additionally, I address neglect and deprivation using a variety of modalities. I am a Level II EMDR trained clinician and have been incorporating this method into my therapy practice since 2003. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a method of psychotherapy that has been proven effective for the treatment of trauma. I have also been trained in Flash EMDR, which has been shown to be very effective for many of my clients.

Pia Mellody is a world renowned pioneer in the areas of codependence, boundaries, and the effects of childhood trauma and dysfunctional families on emotional development. I have worked with attachment from the very beginning and have extensive experience in addressing attachment wounds and assisting my clients in reclaiming hope, meaning, individuation and connection. I also incorporate supportive practices such as meditation, experiential work, expressive arts, and Reiki, which are offerings that can regulate the nervous system and heighten a sense of well-being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/0283e1e7-9002-4b7a-89a4-605669b9a29a/about-shame.jpg Services - Shame Reduction, Attachment and Reparenting Self I am passionate about treating the underlying shame and low self esteem that is the root of so many of our struggles as humans. We are wired for attachment and healing and coping with our attachment wounds is foundational to going forward. I began running a shame reduction group in 1999 and have incorporated healing from shame into my work from the beginning. Freedom from these prisons allows us to thrive in our lives and relationships, and establish healthy boundaries to flow from the authentic self that emerges.

I create a safe, connected environment in which you can continue to deepen your healing while having the flexibility, convenience and accessibility needed to make the ongoing commitment. The psyche and the person extend, they are not limited to rooms and do not require physical presence to connect. I have been doing online therapy for a while now and I, and my clients, have found that once you’ve tried it, you forget you’re online and it feels real and just as intimate as being in person. I have successfully conducted EMDR therapy, Flash Technique and other therapies using this online venue. Stanley the cat may even join us as he considers himself essential to the work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f0f84e4d49ee4cbc046fce/20a5539c-c3eb-4507-ab80-f22c09763c0b/about-jungian.jpg Services - Jungian Informed Depth Work This approach is for those wanting to explore the deeper layers of consciousness from a Jungian and psychoanalytic perspective via dream work, art, meditation and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. We often carry the answers within ourselves.
