Si te encuentras atravesando por procesos de trauma, estrés postraumático (TEPT), ansiedad, depresión o los desafíos de un trastorno de la personalidad, quiero que sepas que hay un camino hacia la calma.

Hi! I'm A'layah Matamoros, PMHNP-BC, founder of Mariposa Integrative Psychiatry.

I’m someone who values honesty, communication, and creating meaningful relationships.

To learn more about my practice, services, and client testimonials, please visit www.mariposaintegrativepsychiatry.com.

I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and helping them feel confident throughout the process. My goal is always to make clients feel heard, supported, and satisfied with the results.

Many of my patients come to me feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, frustrated, or stuck. Whether you're struggling with focus and organization, generalized or social anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low mood, burnout, sleep difficulties, or the challenges that come with major life changes, I'm here to provide a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

I provide psychiatric diagnostic evaluations, supportive treatment, and medication management for adults throughout Florida via telehealth. My areas of focus include women's mental health, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, sleep concerns, life transitions, stress management, and healthcare burnout. I also provide an eight session ADHD skills therapy program that helps with planning, organization skills, and understanding executive dysfunction.

I believe the best care happens when you feel comfortable, involved, and supported throughout your treatment journey. Together, we'll work to better understand your concerns, identify your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and your life.

"Support for the woman who constantly cares for others. If you feel overwhelmed and stretched thin, I’m here to help you regain your balance and well-being."

My calling to this work comes from my own experience of holding everything in, carrying the weight of caring for others, and hiding my own exhaustion. For a long time, I understood what it meant to keep going even when I needed a break, to put others' needs before my own, and to believe I had to handle everything on my own.

Through my own growth and continued practice, I have learned the importance of self-care, self-compassion, and giving myself permission to slow down. I've learned that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, and that taking a break does not mean I'm falling behind.

These experiences have deepened my passion for helping other women who find themselves caught in the same cycle of giving, doing, and carrying-while quietly putting their own needs last. I believe you can care deeply for the people you love without losing yourself in the process.

Hi there, I'm glad you have located me on Headway. I enjoy meeting new people and learning what makes them unique. I will do my best to make you feel comfortable and heard. Setting up a consultation is easy to do so lets get started.

You deserve a space where you can say the hard thing out loud and not be judged for it. Whether you're a man who was never taught how to talk about any of this, someone rebuilding after alcohol or substance use, carrying grief you haven't had room to feel, or living with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, or stress that never fully switches off, you can bring it here and we'll work with it.

Outside of work I'm watching sports and playing basketball. I also appreciate time at the beach.

I support adults facing relationship pain, life transitions, anxiety, and identity shifts. Having lived through betrayal and rebuilt my own life, I understand these experiences from the inside out. I believe the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself. Together, we focus on finding the answers so the next step feels possible.

I trained in medicine before I became a therapist, and it changed what I listen for. When a client tells me her chest tightens before every meeting, or that she can't stop thinking about a diagnosis, I take the physical side of that seriously.

I hold a PhD in health psychology and I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and Florida. My published research is on post-traumatic growth in women. Since 2020 I've also taught graduate counseling and psychology as an adjunct professor.

I see adults dealing with trauma and complex trauma, chronic illness, health anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. I work with women through perinatal and postpartum struggles and through fertility challenges. I also see adolescents.

I speak English, Hindi, Arabic, and Urdu. If you're dealing with immigration, acculturation, or family expectations that don't translate easily, you won't have to explain that context to me first.
