Welcome to
Serenity Therapy Services

where you will experience healing, understanding, and growth so that you live a life anxiety-free, feel more confident and experience calm and serenity.

Welcome to Serenity Therapy Services.

Hi! My name is Mattracea and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri.

I am here to help you find your serenity, comfort, and peace. It is my mission to help you overcome hurdles in life, understand why it is happening, and what to do about it.

If you are looking for therapy that is intentional, direct, and will help you understand not only what to change, but the why behind, you’re in the right place. If you are a person who is growth-minded and wanting to take action, you are in the right place.

One of the best parts of being an intentional therapist is seeing the transformation and the growth within you and seeing you heal, grow, and implement what you’ve learned in therapy. (We are going to be very intentional here and put forth the work to help you reach your full potential!)

I want to help you find strength in your healing, achieve your goals, and for you to fully believe you are worthy.

 
 
 

Anxiety and Worry

Do you tend to lie awake at night due to racing thoughts? Have you been experiencing increased irritability, and feeling fearful or worrying of the unknown?

Perhaps, you have been experiencing an increase of panic or anxiety attacks and are ready for relief. You are not alone. In counseling you will learn coping tools specifically for anxiety. You will discover ways to take back control of your life, and to free yourself from the hold anxiety can sometimes have on you.

Trauma Counseling

Has something (or multiple somethings) happened in your life leading to bad dreams/nightmares, difficulty concentrating, increased irritability and/or anxiety? Do you believe you might be, or even recognize that you are, experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?

EMDR therapy is one type of treatment proven to be an effective (and also has been shown to be faster than typical talk therapy) way of healing from traumatic experiences.

Depression

Depressed mood, feelings of hopelessness, loss of motivation, sleep disturbance… All of these (and more) can lead to difficulties in relationships, work and/or school, and other areas of life. Sometimes it can feel cyclical – as though one thing causes difficulty to the next and it feels as though you do not know where to start, or maybe it feels like too much energy.

Counseling can help provide you direction and skills to alleviate the depression you are experiencing and heal from the underlying causes.

Self-Esteem

Negative self-esteem leads to negative evaluations and can lead to unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

In counseling, we work toward increasing self-esteem through self-awareness and challenging negative beliefs you have placed on yourself, or others have placed on you (for example, through childhood).
