Message from Therapist

Take the risk. 

You didn't come here for nothing. It's time for you to become who you're meant to be. 

God is a family of persons. In our work together, I'll utilize Natural Family Systems/Bowen Theory to help you process your experiences from your family of origin to empower you to live a better life. If needed, I'm able to use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for trauma that you may have suffered. 

Together, let's discover what it means for you to face your challenges and come fully alive. 

Your greatness awaits.

More About James Van Matre, MS, LPC-A

Vita Magna Counseling, Coaching and Consulting PLLC

None of us is meant to do life alone. It would be an honor to journey alongside you. I intend to foster a safe, therapeutic space where you can openly explore whatever challenges you’re facing. In our work together, I desire to empower you toward deeper healing and greater integration. I have confidence that, using an evidence-based Bowen Family Systems approach, we could discover what a more fulfilling, purposeful, and meaningful life might look like for you.

I work with individuals and couples across the lifespan who are struggling with any number of issues, including anxiety, depression, and/or trauma. My areas of clinical interest include Christian spirituality (which can be incorporated into treatment upon request), working with adolescents and young adults, men's issues, and the Hispanic community.

Estoy para servirle.
