Healthy relationships don't happen by accident—they're built through understanding, communication, and the willingness to grow. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling disconnected from your partner, navigating relationship conflict, or facing intimacy concerns, you don't have to work through it alone.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree from Pepperdine University, and I specialize in helping adults and couples create healthier relationships with themselves and the people they love. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental while also being practical and goal-oriented. I believe lasting change happens when clients feel genuinely understood while also being challenged to grow.

Together we'll identify the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, strengthen communication, develop practical coping skills, and build deeper emotional and relational connection. Whether you're working through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or questions surrounding intimacy, my goal is to help you leave therapy feeling more confident, connected, and equipped to create meaningful change.

Therapist

Throughout my three decades as a therapist, I have discovered that one of the most important skills I have developed is the ability to listen deeply. Along the way, I have gained a broad range of therapeutic tools and approaches, but I have learned that meaningful change begins when people feel truly heard. My mentors are the horse whisperers. I believe they listen with their whole body. They trust the intuitive nature of their horse. I like to think that I use some of this as I work with each client, trusting their intuitive nature. Together we are learning what is present in the room, gaining new insights and feeling more empowered.

Kacey Mather

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe that holding space for healing is connected to my divine purpose. Growing up, I spent many moments with my mom gazing at the moon as it illuminated the lake—a place filled with memories. The moon became my teacher, offering me the most important lesson I’ve come to know: it is in the darkness where we often find the most profound beauty and light. I’ve carried this lesson with me throughout my life, continually learning how even in my most challenging and painful times, there is always the potential for healing and growth.

As human beings, we all carry patterns—some of which support our wellbeing and others that no longer serve us. These patterns can become deeply ingrained, leading us into cycles of addiction, anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles. These patterns are often the psyche's attempts to protect us from unhealed wounds, many of which have been buried, avoided, or numbed over time. But I know from my own journey, and from walking alongside countless others, that facing these wounds is the key to healing.

I believe that one of the most powerful tools for healing is the creation of secure attachment within the therapeutic relationship.Sometimes, the first person who truly shows you unconditional love and kindness is a therapist. From my own experience, I have witnessed how profound healing can be when we allow ourselves to be truly seen by another. My role is to hold that space for you—gently confronting you when necessary, but always with love and consistency. This is the essence of secure attachment and the emotional corrective experience that facilitates growth. It’s within this compassionate space that you can experience what healthy, nurturing love feels like—and eventually, learn to offer that same love to yourself.

I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey, to support you in shedding old layers, and to help you step into a version of yourself that is whole, healed, and free.

Growing up near a national park, I am consistently reminded of and influenced by the importance of nature on our physical, mental, and emotional health in my mental health practice. As an LMFT, I've worked with a variety of populations, most of whom experienced major trauma or complex trauma, and aid them in reconnecting to their sense of self and safety. I received my MS from California Lutheran University with a specialization in trauma and BA from CSU Chico. I have been licensed for 4 years and have provided therapy for the last 8 years including an associate and traineeship.
