Rincy Mathew
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
I incorporate depth psychology, a psychodynamic process that engages the natural healing power of the psyche, along with
mindfulness
meditation, EMDR therapy for trauma reprocessing, Identity and Self development, and personal empowerment.
I believe psychotherapy to be sacred work that can be immensely healing and transformative but requires a genuine interest to confront uncomfortable feelings and beliefs. In my experience, most psychic pain stems from a lack of connection to our authentic selves causing immense suffering that manifests into self-defeating thoughts and addictions, loss of purpose and meaning, and relational trauma. My work with clients is to unravel self-limiting unconscious processes to gain better insight and live more intentionally with greater purpose and freedom.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW

Utilizing evidence-based techniques from
mindfulness
practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a mix of time-tested techniques from yoga, bodywork and more, I offer my clients the opportunity to understand themselves and their purpose more clearly.
Burnout, ongoing stress, anxiety and worry are sometimes symptoms, telling us that something needs to change. I believe one of the main reasons for being on earth, is to uncover our true selves. Simply living in this world and responding to its demands, one can easily lose sight of this. Who we are, what is important to us and even what makes us happy can become lost, when our focus takes us away from our center. Placing too much of our focus on the external, often causes the internal to become unsettled; however, shifting that focus, can often improve the outcome.

I am an EMDR clinician and use
mindfulness
and compassion to help you get to your goals.
Has your personal or family life spiraled into chaos or confusion? Are you hurting, feeling alone, anxious, triggered, and overwhelmed? Are you having panic attacks? Do you feel like you're stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns. I believe most people suffer mental injury rather than mental illness. Fortunately, our minds can heal itself just as our bodies do when we are sick or injured. Yes, you can be free of feeling trapped and move on to live a meaningful life!

I can also help you discover new coping skills which include

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.
