Marté J. Matthews, MFT

Therapy for Children, Teens, Families & Adults in Silicon Valley and across California

Feeling stressed? Anxious? Wondering if you’re alone in this? I work with adults, children, adolescents and families handling stress and anxiety.

Maybe you’re worried about how you’re handling your child’s big feelings about school, fearful reactions to new experiences, or tummy aches. Or maybe you’re seeing your child struggle in the same ways you did as a child, and feel helpless and frustrated. I can provide support to help you and your family. Middle schoolers and high schoolers often struggle with the changing social situations and demanding academics, and need added support.

Gifted and “twice exceptional” people may experience particularly intense emotional lives, and be misunderstood by others. With over two decades of experience in the gifted community, I’m here to help you and your family.

Do you need a family therapist who “gets it” when it comes to food allergies? People with food allergies, at any age, may struggle with the emotional aspects of this, and not find their therapist truly understands the situation. I’ve worked in the food allergy field for 8 years in a university research setting, and can share my insights and experience to assist you.

Hi there!

I’m Marté, I help worried parents learn better ways to support anxious kids to have a happier family life. In particular I work with people of all ages with anxiety, phobias, food allergy related anxiety, and those in the gifted & “gifted+” or 2E community.

The children who need love the most will always ask for it in the most unloving ways
