If we haven’t already met, Hi! I am Mattracea.
I’m a mom, a partner, and I love a good home project. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri, offering therapy throughout the state.
I am also a Mindset & Business Coach! (follow me here) (learn more about the all-inclusive, one-of-a-kind 3 month program here)
A little about me and why I do the work I do:
I have personally experienced failure and rejection; I have experienced anxiety, depression, and trauma. And even though all of these are true, and even though these have resulted in sabotage in some way (whether it was relationship(s), missed opportunities, etc.), the one thing that has helped me to overcome is to not let these things define me. And they don’t have to define you either.
Learning how to break through these fears will help you to reach your full potential, have healthier and happier relationships, and allow you to experience happiness, joy, and fulfillment (rather than the self-doubt, anxiety, and depression you’ve been experiencing).
One of my biggest frustrations about therapy and counseling is hearing people express their past experiences with therapy was very passive. That they didn’t feel like they learned anything in therapy. That they would just go to their session and talk for an hour and leave. If you are looking for a therapy experience that is more direct, more intentional, and you want to leave sessions with “aha” moments, this is the place for you.
I truly believe in the power of understanding. When we understand why we do the things we do and why we make the choices we make, we can then learn how to heal, overcome these barriers, patterns. This is why my therapy style is not like others.
What kind of therapist am I?
I am direct. I am intentional. And my goal is to help you to overcome these hurdles that keep getting in your way. I want you to understand the “why” and the “how to.”
I use my experiences and my passion to help individual's overcome challenges they have experienced and allow them to move past the self-limiting beliefs, so that they can reach their full potential and experience happiness.
I have been a trauma therapist (going on about 8 years now of doing trauma work!); I have helped individuals overcome anxiety, depression, and increase self-esteem. As a therapist, my goal is to help you achieve your goals and to overcome the hurdles that have been in your way.
I look forward to hearing from you and providing an intentional space for you to grow, learn, and heal!
