Hi
I Am Matiah
As a counseling intern, I focus on creating a dope, supportive, and empowering space for all my clients, especially those in the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. Let’s work together to make your well-being the main event.
What To Expect In Therapy
I believe in digging deep to understand your feelings and past experiences, helping you gain insight into your thoughts and emotions, and using mindfulness to tackle unhelpful thinking patterns. On top of keeping it real with culturally savvy therapy and with the valuable guidance of my supervisors and other amazing therapists in the practice, I ensure you get top-tier care through professional oversight.
I see myself as a therapist who’s got your back—supportive, real, and down-to-earth. My goal is to help you crush your goals and tackle life’s challenges while keeping it woke and inclusive. When you step into our sessions, I want you to feel free to be your authentic self. This is your chill zone, far away from all the demands and expectations society throws at you. I’ll keep it supportive by setting clear boundaries, building mutual respect, and truly listening to you. We’ll work on both your short-term and long-term goals together.

Finding The Right Fit
I’m all about helping the LGBTQIA+ community, especially my fellow lesbians, because representation matters. As a proud member of the fam, I understand the unique issues we face and make sure you feel seen and heard in our sessions. I consider the complex interplay of different sociocultural identities to create a space that truly gets you. Life throws curveballs, and I’m here to help you catch them by teaching healthy coping mechanisms to manage emotional distress, anxiety, and stress.
I’m down to help with a variety of issues, including career counseling, depression, emotional disturbances, family conflict, grief, life transitions, life coaching, OCD, peer relationships, self-esteem, spirituality, sports performance, stress, trauma, PTSD, and women’s issues. I also specialize in mood and personality disorders, with a focus on LGBTQIA+ concerns.

After our sessions, my aim is for you to leave feeling confident and ready to take on anything. We’ll dive deep into understanding your emotions and building solid coping strategies. I’m here to help you bring the growth from our sessions into your everyday life, keeping you motivated and consistent. Your needs and goals are my top priority.
