Are you seeking a therapist who is committed to providing a safe and affirming environment where your experiences, feelings, and identity are respected and valued? Perhaps you have experienced hardship or traumas and feel stuck in a loop of past memories. Or maybe you are finding it challenging to be effective in your day to day life. If something about this resonates with you, I think we might be a good fit! I hope to provide a comfortable and nonjudgemental environment where you can safely show up as your authentic self to work on treatment goals that fit your current struggles.
While the specific treatment frameworks that I am trained in are helpful, I believe it is the strength of the therapeutic relationship that is most important in guiding folks towards change and transformation. Our sessions may incorporate mindfulness, emotion exploration, taking a closer look at memories, and/or coping ahead for future situations.
Getting started in therapy can feel very overwhelming. I offer free 15 minute intro chats to see if we would be a good fit and to assist you in navigating barriers that might be getting in the way of you starting.
Call or Rita Skiba-Mathews now for a free 15 minute consultation - (314) 804-7725
