Isac Matei, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Isac!

I believe helping people is a higher moral calling, which is why this work is so special to me. I'm passionate about supporting clients through life challenges to experience healing, growth, and wholeness. I enjoy providing therapy in a multicultural space.

My focus

I specialize in individual, couples, family, and group therapy for teenagers and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, adaptation struggles, grief and loss, and relationship issues. I bring a multicultural worldview to all the services I provide.

My approach

I'm an existential, client-centered, solution-focused, and systemic therapist. I use an eclectic approach, drawing from multiple modalities and tailoring my work to your unique needs to help you make meaningful progress.

My communication style

I will never impose my values or beliefs upon you. You can expect me to communicate in a direct yet compassionate manner. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported as we identify unhealthy patterns and develop effective coping strategies.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a teenager, my dream was to help others find inner peace and reach their potential. I studied medicine, psychology, and spirituality. I'm passionate about empowering people to overcome their fears and obstacles and live a fulfilling life.

My goals for you

As a client-centered therapist, you determine the goals you want to achieve, and I'll gently guide, challenge, and encourage you. My goal is for you to develop greater self-awareness, build resilience, and acquire tools to navigate life's challenges with confidence.

Our first session

The client-therapist relationship is the foundation of the therapeutic process. During our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy and collaborate to establish goals aligned with your values. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of my therapeutic vibe.
