Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Braintree, MA covered by Aetna

I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years, and have experience working with adults, children and families. I earned my Master's degree in 2023 in Clinical Psychology from Bridgewater State University. I have experience with many mental health diagnoses including depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, and personality disorders. I love connecting with women and mothers and helping them to find their joy and peace.

As a licensed independent clinical social worker, I believe in meeting clients where they are at and helping them to achieve their goals. I am a Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapist (C-DBT) and have extensive experience working with the neurodivergent community, having received certification as an Autism Specialist (ASDCS). In the past I have worked with those who have ASD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, language-based challenges, executive functioning, social cognition, social pragmatics, family dynamics, and self esteem.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Patricia Mathison, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to supporting individuals in navigating life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and practical tools for growth.

I bring a strong professional background in mental health counseling, with experience working with diverse populations. My work has allowed me to support clients through concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and stress-related challenges.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling and Psychology from Lesley University, where I received comprehensive training in evidence-based therapeutic approaches. I continue to stay current in the field through ongoing professional development and training.

My areas of specialization include anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma, mood disorders, self-esteem, or relationship issues. I often draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs and goals of the individual.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, respect, and authenticity. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

Whether you’re seeking support for a specific concern or looking to better understand yourself, I am here to help you move forward with confidence and resilience.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, and finding the right provider matters. I provide a warm, welcoming space where clients can feel heard, respected, and supported. I worked in community health for several years as a bilingual nurse practitioner and place great value in providing culturally competent care.

With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a steady, compassionate presence to individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and overwhelming stress. I believe healing happens in relationships that feel safe, respectful, and collaborative.

If you are feeling lost, confused, and unhappy with the direction life is going, let's work together to address what is holding you back. "Finding My Potential" is something you are seeking; then let's work on ways to cope with challenging thoughts, identify skills you can use to move forward, look holistically at habits/lifestyle, and develop a road map that gets you on the path you were meant for. It is important to note that this approach is based on a treatment session connected to techniques and actions you will do between sessions. I look forward to working with you.

I have a broad background in therapy, having managed and worked as a therapist in a variety of services. As an individual therapist, I have done the most work with teenagers, children, and young adults. I have provided individual counseling to adults, families, and couples. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, with a commitment to outcomes.
