In our work together, I’ll meet you with curiosity and compassion. I’m here to help you understand where your patterns come from, reconnect with the parts of yourself that got buried, and figure out what healing actually looks like for you.

It could be that you are a part of a newly formed blended family, living together for the first time, and instead of joy you are experiencing chaos. You may be seeking help, because your spouse has received orders for yet another deployment with the military. Having to say goodbye once again, leaves you feeling frustrated, anxious and sad. Often people come to therapy due to grief and loss. People dealing with difficult life changes, may experience a range of negative emotions, from sadness, anxiety to anger.

I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and moved to the San Diego area at the age of three. I am fortunate to be fully fluent in English and Spanish. Living in a bicultural home and in a very multicultural environment, I have been privileged to be part of the border culture, a subculture in itself.

Hi, my name is Mattie Chein, and I’m a licensed therapist (LCSW) who has spent the past six years working with men who seem to have it all together in their careers, but feel stuck when it comes to relationships, dating, intimacy, and sex. My specialty is working with high-achieving men who excel at work but secretly feel lost or frustrated in their personal lives. Many of my clients come to me feeling like they’re stuck in an endless cycle — swiping on dating apps but never following through, watching porn instead of pursuing real connection, or relying on substances like alcohol or weed to feel confident enough to approach someone they’re interested in. On the outside, they appear driven and successful, but behind closed doors, they struggle with confidence, communication, and genuine intimacy. Some of my clients are single and want to break through dating anxiety so they can meet women and feel more confident initiating connections. Others are in relationships but feel their sex life has gone stale, their needs aren’t being met, or they don’t know how to express what they truly want without causing conflict. In both cases, there’s often a pattern of avoidance — using screens, substances, or endless busyness to sidestep vulnerability. I help my clients identify what’s keeping them stuck, build self-trust, and develop the emotional and practical tools to create the relationships and sex lives they actually want. My approach is both strategic and deeply supportive, so you can go beyond just “knowing what you should do” and actually feel confident, secure, and fulfilled.
