Hello my name is Mattie Spires-Peppers and I am a graduate of J.F.K.U.

I have worked with many clients that were experiencing trauma, grief, depression and bullying. As a therapist it is important to provide a safe environment where clients can speak freely without judgement. Clients can work through identify and understand patterns and behaviors in everyday life to promote growth and remove old behaviors causing stress and anxiety.

I aim to help you gain a better understanding of yourself, while helping you navigate life in a way that amplifies your strengths and supports your needs. I want to provide you with the safety and comfort needed to help you share parts of yourself that might be too difficult to share with others, free of judgment and full of compassion.

It takes courage to start working with a new therapist. The very fact that you’re considering it probably means you’re getting ready to make some significant changes in your life. My approach to therapy focuses on understanding and accepting you as you are right now, and creating a safe space where you can figure out where you want to go from here. We’ll work together as you get ready to make the sometimes tough (and rewarding) changes that will give you a better life. We will also deal with any stresses you're experiencing due to the coronavirus, including the isolation of sheltering in place and uncertainties about the future.

Sometimes our relationships with others, or ourselves, get stuck. We may have lost direction, purpose, or meaning, and we become unsure of who we are or who we are in our relationships with other people. We may feel alone, sad, or scared. Some of us become overwhelmed by naming these emotions. Some may choose to isolate ourselves and think we must navigate this life alone. In these moments, I believe we are invited to pay attention; when we do, we begin the journey toward growth and healing. I think therapy can be a gift, inviting you to look inward to become whole.
