Hi, I’m Mattie Chein, a licensed therapist who works with high-functioning adults battling internal struggles like depression, anxiety, and substance use. You might be doing all the “right” things, working hard, staying social, and showing up, but still feeling empty, anxious, or overwhelmed inside. I specialize in helping people who look fine on the outside but feel stuck, lost, or quietly falling apart. Our work isn’t just about what’s wrong — it’s about where we’re going. I help you move toward a life that actually feels like yours: grounded, alive, and connected.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session is about slowing down and making space for you. We’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, what you’ve already tried, and what you're hoping to feel instead. You don’t need to have it all figured out , just come as you are. I’ll help you feel grounded, seen, and supported, and we’ll begin mapping out a path forward that feels both safe and real.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is taking an intuitive and eclectic approach. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy — I pull from a range of modalities like CBT, DBT, somatic work, and parts work, depending on what each person needs in the moment. I see the full picture: your patterns, your pain, and your potential. I say things as they are, but always with compassion and care. Clients come to me when they want a therapist who can hold depth, offer perspective, and guide them with honesty and heart — not just listen, but help them shift into real change
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work best with individuals who are self-aware but exhausted, the ones who keep pushing, performing, or coping in silence. You may be using substances like alcohol, weed, or vaping to get through the day. You may be stuck in endless overthinking or numbness that won’t lift. You’ve likely done some inner work before… but you’re still waiting to feel better. I work with people who are ready to move forward, not through shame or pressure, but through curiosity, compassion, and tools that actually create change. If you're tired of living a life that looks good but doesn’t feel good, you’re in the right place.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients become more aware of the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we gently challenge patterns like overthinking, self-doubt, or perfectionism, and replace them with more supportive ways of thinking. I often work with high-functioning individuals who appear fine on the outside but feel stuck or overwhelmed internally — and CBT offers practical tools to create real change.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is one of the core tools I draw from when helping clients regulate intense emotions, manage anxiety, and build better boundaries. I use DBT skills like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindfulness to support clients in staying grounded — especially when emotions feel big or relationships feel overwhelming. It’s a powerful method for clients who are self-aware but need more structure and support to feel emotionally balanced.
Somatic
I integrate somatic work into sessions to help clients reconnect with their bodies, especially those who have learned to intellectualize or disconnect from emotion. Whether we're working through trauma, anxiety, or stress, somatic practices bring awareness to the body’s signals — helping clients release tension, feel safe, and experience emotions without getting stuck in them. It's especially helpful for clients who are high-functioning but feel numb, anxious, or disconnected inside.
