Hello! Are you overwhelmed, stressed out, angry, or maybe in a funk and not sure why? You are not alone! I work with many teens and young adults in the same boat and am excited to work with you to get yourself back on track and feeling good. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and Certified Case Manager with over 20 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings with a focus on the teen population since 2001 such as wilderness therapy programs, high schools/boarding schools and rehabilitation/psychiatric hospitals.
I enjoy helping teens and young adults up to 30-ish years of age find their own path and believe that everyone has many answers within themselves. Sometimes these answers are hard to find when life gets in the way. With some self reflection, new awareness and processing it's exciting to see how things can begin to change with some new perspective and development of new stories we tell ourselves. As a result of this work, our lives moving forward can be elevated and begin to move in the right direction. I am honored to help clients in their journey to find peace, inspiration and motivation to be the best they can be!

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and have been working in the field since 2007. I specialize in working with individuals who are motivated to engage in therapy to reach their desired goals. It's important to me that I meet you where you are on your journey, & that you experience our work together as a collaboration. I am passionate about working with individuals who have experienced trauma, to help them understand how their nervous system was affected & how to regulate it.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 25 years of experience using my clinical skills in a corporate setting — and now I'm coming back to what drew me to this field in the first place: working with people one-on-one. I offer telehealth sessions, so we can meet from wherever you're most comfortable. I work with individuals and couples navigating life transitions, career shifts, relationship stress, and the kind of quiet drift that happens when you've been running hard for a long time.
I’m especially passionate about creating a space where women of color feel seen, respected, and understood. Not just as clients, but as whole people with unique stories, cultures, values, and experiences. Whether you’re navigating relationships, work stress, life transitions, self-worth, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. You’re welcome here, exactly as you are.
If you are struggling with ADHD and/or symptoms of anxiety or depression or are dealing with difficult relationship issues or life transitions, I could be the therapist for you.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and earned my graduate degree from Yale University. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked in inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric emergency care, trauma, and critical care. I work with teens and adults with concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders. I also speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
Welcome! I am Dr. Lyssabeth Mattoon, PhD, a clinical psychologist and trauma specialist, skilled at providing individual and family therapy for adolescents, children and adults. My calling in life is to support and empower trauma survivors to harness their inner strength as part of the healing process.
Education:
Licensed CA Clinical Psychologist, 2013
Clinical Psychology, PhD, 2010
Clinical Psychology, MA, 2007
Psychology, BA, 2002
I have 10 years of experience working with children, individuals, couples and families to using a strength-based, systems approach. For couple’s I utilize Gottman-based approaches.
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps people heal from the inside out.
I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults for years, and one thing I’ve learned is that healing happens when we feel seen, safe, and accepted exactly as we are. My style is warm, real, and collaborative. I meet you where you are, and we go from there.
