With over 40 years of experience as a psychologist and an additional intensive training to become a psychoanalyst, I consider myself fortunate in that my professional life is also my passion. I'm immersed in the study and practice of insight oriented psychotherapy and psychoanalysis and am currently on the Board and Faculty of the Arizona Center for Psychoanalytic Studies. Additionally I'm an adjunct faculty member with an appointment at the level of Clinical Assistant Professor at Arizona Health Sciences Center. There I have been involved in the training and supervision of psychiatric residents for more than a decade.

We all have experienced bad days, discouragement, disappointments, confusion, anxiety, and other difficult challenges. There are moments when some of these experiences create a debilitating and paralyzing effect and the feeling of hopelessness ensues. I have a passion for helping people struggling with hopelessness. I believe the narrative approach to life, which means we have the power and ability to create our present and future experiences. Every now and then, however, a guide is needed to help us navigate through the journey and overcome those debilitating and paralyzing effects of hopelessness.

Gloria C. Mathiesen, MA, LMT, LPC, C-DBT, ERYT-500, Certified Aromatherapist, Usui Reiki Master/Teacher. I am only available virtually through the platform ZOOM. Big or small, trauma is trauma, it is something that I enjoy helping people navigate through and come out of. Your story is important, and it is an honor when you share it with me. I am a big fan of Internal Family Systems Theory and integrate it with all other aspects of our work together. I believe we all share an internal world of "protective parts" and through them we can begin the healing process.

I enjoy working with clients from a variety of backgrounds (ages 12+). My strengths-based, person-centered approach to therapy gives clients the power to work through mental health issues and/or life challenges with some extra support. Therapy seems scary at first, but it is so empowering to take that first step towards personal growth and healing!

As a passionate trauma therapist I have been searching for a way to heal what can for many clients feel like a hopeless cycle. Often finding relief in self defeating behaviors, which may have worked at one time, but are losing their effectiveness and are becoming destructive-seeming to become the problem! What if we are able to work together to find out what is driving the ineffective responses and heal at this level? With specialized training in EMDR Therapy and DBR-this is the goal. Please reach out if you would like to find relief. I look forward to hearing from you!

I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. My general areas of interest are autistic spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, eating disorders and trauma, and obsessive compulsive problems. My experience has been that psychological change and changes in life circumstances become possible and more probable when a person understands how their mind works; how thoughts and feelings influence what happens internally and in relation to others. Therapy can help a patient obtain a greater degree of control in managing feeling states and the thoughts related to these.

Through therapy, I help children understand their big emotions and how to navigate through emotional reactions in more helpful, positive ways. I enjoy working with children and teens on finding the best coping tools to make the challenges of growing up feel a bit more manageable. I also help guide teens through their challenging teenage years that may be further impacted by mental health struggles, such as anxiety and depression. My overall goal is for kids and families to see and experience positive change in the home and school environments.

If you are interested in learning whether your struggles are associated with Adult ADHD, a comprehensive clinical evaluation will address your concerns and answer your questions. NOTE: Internet and brief questionnaires are not representative of a thorough clinical assessment necessary for an accurate diagnosis. If you do indeed meet the criteria for the diagnosis of ADHD, treatment options include relevant psychotherapy, and therapy for often-associated Anxiety and Depression, and/or medication consultation. The goal here is to demystify your symptoms, to establish a correct diagnosis so appropriate treatment(s) can be implemented.

Welcome! My approach to therapy is rooted in the concept of validation and change. I believe in the role of compassionate understanding of our histories and ourselves to make sense of why we do what we do. When this understanding is coupled with a commitment to growing and healing (a commitment I will help you sustain when the going gets tough!), we are able to make desired changes, and in turn, transform from just getting by to thriving. I work with adults in areas of trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, personality disorders, suicidal ideations, and other concerns.

Sometimes, situations and feelings are too much to bear alone. In therapy, you have a chance to be heard, to be seen and valued, and to express your deepest feelings. With a gentle and compassionate presence, I create a safe place for you to go within and find the core of who you are--and from that place, be guided. With a nonjudgmental and caring outlook, I invite awareness, acceptance, and appreciation of all emotions and their expression, including the difficult ones, giving them room to BE, and then they can change.

Through mirroring clients’ vulnerability, I hope to create a safe space for individuals seeking guidance to create or reinforce their healing journey. I utilize mindfulness-based practices in trauma therapy and explore the impact of trauma on our bodies and minds to encourage healing and recovery. I integrate attachment-based practices, inner-child work, parts work, and Brainspotting to promote an increased sense of self while cultivating self-compassion. I aim to help clients strengthen their mind-body connection to increase distress tolerance.

I provide specialized therapeutic services for children and adolescents struggling with anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These young individuals often face significant challenges with anxiety management, organizational skills, maintaining focus on less engaging tasks, and consistently regulating their emotions. Consequently, they may experience academic underachievement, disciplinary issues at school and home, and strained relationships with peers and family members.
