Barb Matijevich
MA, LPC
I believe therapy is about releasing the things that prevent us from moving toward ease in our daily lives, in our relationships, and in the way we show up in the world. I'm a trauma therapist with a focus on complex PTSD and issues related to living with chronic pain. I am EMDR trained and sex-positive.
​
My practice is currently full but I do maintain a waitlist, as people tend to cycle in and out of therapy as needed. Please reach out if you would like to be added to the list. Please note that my sliding scale spots are full, and that my fee is $175 per hour.

My approach
My definition of therapy is movement toward ease. It is my deepest wish as a therapist to see you walk in the world in harmony with yourself.
I believe that trauma is the universal experience --we all have trauma in our past or present --but what is traumatic for one person might not be for another. Childhood trauma often sets the stage for trauma in our adult lives and so the work becomes centered around meeting our younger selves with great compassion and tenderness while honoring the choices that helped us survive.
​
And if trauma is the universal experience, then how we are in our sexuality is a metaphor for how we are in the world. I offer sex therapy as a means of bringing into alignment our sexual beliefs about ourselves in a healthy, sex-positive, shame-free way.
