Matiah Ninalowo

Hi. I’m Matiah Ninalowo, and I work with people in those “life is life-ing” moments, when anxiety is loud, identity questions are heavy, and change feels both exciting and terrifying. I specialize in supporting young adults, adults, and LGBTQIA+ clients through anxiety, identity challenges, and major life transitions in a way that’s real, relatable, and never judgmental. Your story is layered. Culture, identity, and lived experience all shape who you are and in my space, all of that gets to come with you. You don’t have to shrink, explain, or edit yourself here. This is where you can be unapologetically you while we do the work to help you feel grounded, confident, and in control again. What You Can Expect in Session Our sessions are a blend of open conversation, actionable strategies, and space to breathe. We’ll dig into what’s been weighing on you, spot the patterns that keep showing up, and build coping skills that actually work outside the therapy room. Clients tell me I’m warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth—with enough humor to keep things from feeling heavy all the time. You’ll leave with clarity, practical tools, and a stronger sense of self, whether we’re tackling anxiety spirals, burnout, or relationship dynamics. How I Work Therapy with me is flexible, culturally sensitive, and client-centered—because your healing journey is yours, not a one-size-fits-all process. We’ll focus on reducing stress, building resilience, and reconnecting you with your authentic self. That might mean setting boundaries without guilt, boosting your self-esteem, or developing healthier ways to cope with anxiety and depression. If you’re exploring identity—around race, sexuality, gender, or life roles—this is where you can unpack those questions in a space that honors your truth and rejects the pressure to fit anyone else’s mold. What It’s Like to Work With Me From the moment we start, you’ll know you’re in a space where you’re seen, respected, and accepted—exactly as you are. No code-switching. No overexplaining. No holding back. We’ll laugh when we can, sit with the tough stuff when we need to, and always keep our eyes on the kind of change that lasts. I’m not here to tell you who to be but I’m here to help you become more of who you already are. Together, we’ll make room for your voice, your goals, and your healing.
