Family Therapy in 85718

Often it's a crisis or a series of unique events that bring people to therapy. Others may struggle with uncomfortable feelings or feel unsatisfied with patterns in relationships or in other areas of life. Therapy can help. I develop therapy relationships with thoughtfulness, kindness, and an appreciation of the humor in things. My perspectives draw from psychoanalysis, family-systems, socio-cultural contexts, mindfulness, and neurology. I incorporate many techniques; psychodynamic talk therapy, mindful-ness, EMDR, and others.

My specialty includes couple/marriage, individual, and family counseling: Specifically, relationship, parenting, divorce, occupational, singles/dating, loss, depression, anger, anxiety, and stress management issues. As a seasoned therapist of over 30 years, my goal is to help you resolve your concerns and pursue a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Today's economy and unexpected life difficulties can discourage us and personal counseling can help in restoring and rejuvenating our life.

The complexities of families and relationships have intrigued me ever since I was a young girl. Even after 30+ years of practice in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy, I'm still intrigued and challenged to find creative ways to solve the difficulties we all encounter in our relationships with others.

Gloria C. Mathiesen, MA, LMT, LPC, C-DBT, ERYT-500, Certified Aromatherapist, Usui Reiki Master/Teacher. I am only available virtually through the platform ZOOM. Big or small, trauma is trauma, it is something that I enjoy helping people navigate through and come out of. Your story is important, and it is an honor when you share it with me. I am a big fan of Internal Family Systems Theory and integrate it with all other aspects of our work together. I believe we all share an internal world of "protective parts" and through them we can begin the healing process.

Courageous independent adults who are curious about themselves and their life/family histories are an ideal fit for my services. It takes great bravery to enter into a therapeutic connection that is bound to spark insight and awareness.

Clients who would benefit from working with me include those who are interested in achieving a life-work-parenting-partnering balance, one that involves mindfulness, present-focus and an emphasis on physical well being. I work with you from a place of cultural awareness and respect.

We all struggle in life, at one point or another. The question is how we navigate through that struggle. This is also why we can all use some guidance. I work collaboratively with clients to help them cope with these struggles, meet new goals and live an authentic, meaningful life. The foundation of that life is built on their self-determined values and strengths. I also challenge my clients to grow, seek out their strengths in all aspects of their life and offer them the emotional support and tools necessary to make deep and lasting positive changes.

My grandmother used to say "everything will be alright my dear", but at times the waiting and wondering can create more of a burden on our wellbeing.

I am passionate about helping others reach their full potential, and have a safe, nonjudgmental space to share freely their thoughts and feelings. I support clients in finding their internal peace and authentic self. I provide a trauma informed, client centered approach utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I work with teens and adults.

As we know, life does not always work the way we want it to work. Our well-meaning attempts to make life work, too often become patterns that keep us from fulfilling the life we were made to live. When we can’t change these patterns, we get stuck. When life isn’t working, we need help. And NO, It’s never too late to change. Therapy is a collaborative, interactive process between patient and therapist. During this process, the therapist can treat specific issues (e.g. anxiety, depression, adjustments, sexual integrity, trauma, etc.) or everyday concerns (e.g. relationships and family problems, career issues, etc.).
