Introduction

Genuine Connection That Empower You to Take Charge of Your Life I Therapy to Heal & Empower - Not Just Talk Why Choose Me? I’m Michelle Mateus, a Licensed Professional Counselor. Therapy with me is more than just talking—it's about connection, practical tools, and real progress. I help children, teens, and adults work through trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, eating disorders, and life transitions. Our work is collaborative and grounded. Together, we'll focus on what matters most to you—building insight, developing coping strategies, and creating change that feels sustainable. My goal is to support you in feeling more understood, empowered, and in control of your life. Who I Work With I support children, teens, and adults— and specialize in individuals aged 12 to 40. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to understand what’s holding you back and explore new possibilities.

I integrate approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and SandTray Therapy (Level 2 certified) to personalize your care. Clients often say they feel seen, supported, and able to be real with me. I’ll help you build tools to manage tough emotions and make meaningful change.

Many individuals seek private pay therapy for increased confidentiality, flexibility, and personalized mental health care. Unlike therapy billed through insurance, private pay or self-pay therapy allows clients to access services like trauma therapy, EMDR, anxiety treatment, ADHD support, and help with high-conflict relationships without a formal diagnosis or limitations set by insurance. Clients can often use their HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA to pay for therapy and may receive superbills to apply toward out-of-network (OON) insurance benefits. This approach ensures privacy, removes barriers to care, and supports customized treatment aligned with individual goals. Whether you're looking for online therapy, individual counseling, or a therapist who offers specialized care, private pay therapy offers freedom, choice, and high-quality support tailored to your needs. Superbills provided for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. If you are unsure of how to submit OON billing, we suggest utilizing Reimbursify.com
