My approach is a combination of talk-therapy and mindfulness practices such as conscious breathing, sensory awareness, and guided meditations.

Hi, I'm Christina Mathieson, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of My Mental Climb (www.mymentalclimb.com). I view life as a mental climb, with each step presenting an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. I bring deep empathy and understanding to my sessions, allowing clients to feel comfortable and open up about their struggles. My clients praise my compassionate, non-judgmental approach and ability to provide them with fresh perspective and practical tools to tackle their challenges.

Therapy done right builds on personal connection, finds unrecognized freedoms, and orients it all with purpose, values and place. My therapeutic stance integrates connection, freedom and purpose to enhance your wellbeing with openness, balance, warmth, intelligence and wit. My practice cultivates resilience not dependence, vitality not victim-trap ideologies that are currently fashionable. I can help you acknowledge and overcome difficulties, reckon realistically with limits, and untangle other matters of the heart. Some pain is a part of life, but you needn’t suffer or manage it all alone.

As a therapist my focus is your (and your family's) emotional health and happiness. Therapy can offer strategies and coping skills as well as guidance to access your own wisdom for solving the challenges you are currently facing.

Our work together will validate what works for you and eliminate what is ineffective. With information, motivation and practical tools, you will experience an "immediate difference" in how you choose to relate, communicate and live what you desire everyday.

I bring the best of both worlds-- over 25 years experience as a psychotherapist, expert in the areas of treating depression, addiction and trauma and a Success and Performance Coach skilled in the latest strategies and techniques for motivation and change.

I have a background in performance art and currently utilize mindfulness as a tool to assist clients in their lives.

Do you, or your child, struggle with intense emotions? Do either of you spend time feeling alone and searching for meaning? Maybe you find it difficult to increase your sense of self-worth, and wonder what to do? If any of these questions resonate with you, then you have come to the right place. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (99859) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (4606), and I genuinely enjoy and feel honored to work with each of my clients, and provide them with the support they need to meet their goals.

As an ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) therapist, I combine therapeutic yoga practices with ACT therapy methods to help you train your mind, rewire your brain, and do what works. My primary focus is empowering you to take a deep dive into your unique “operating systems” so you can learn to ‘run your mind and emotions’, instead of being run by the unworkable patterns and conditioned reflexes that have kept you stuck… sometimes for years or even decades.
