ABOUT MATEJA

"Real healing happens when we look beneath the symptoms and gently tend to where they began."

Mateja is a licensed psychotherapist in New York and Florida with over 20 years of experience helping adults struggling with anxiety, PTSD, OCD, chronic stress, and the effects of narcissistic abuse. She specializes in working with adults whose childhood abuse and trauma continue to shape their lives today, often showing up as complex PTSD (C-PTSD), chronic anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

​

Mateja began her career in marriage and family therapy before discovering her passion for helping people heal from childhood trauma. Her own healing journey deepened her commitment to this work. Over two decades, she has developed an integrative, holistic approach that goes beyond symptom management to address the root causes of what clients are carrying. She is also trained as a clinical hypnotherapist.

What to Expect in Sessions

Sessions with Mateja are in-depth, unhurried, and focused on understanding the roots of what you’re experiencing. Together, you’ll explore how early experiences and family patterns shape your present, and work toward lasting relief rather than short-term coping. Mateja’s approach is well suited for clients who want to go deeper and heal at the source.
