Mateja Petje, LMFT, CCH, CPNLP

Hi it's Matty. I am a holistic psychotherapist and hypnotist with 20 years of experience working with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, chronic stress, PTSD, OCD, and narcissistic abuse. My specialty is working with adults who have experienced childhood abuse and trauma that still affects their lives (C-PTSD). I am also starting to provide art therapy and Ketamine Assisted Therapy. All services are virtual and you can visit my website for more information.

I've always been passionate about helping others. I was born in Slovenia where I obtained BS in English and education. I moved to Florida in 1997. While being engaged in my own therapy, I decided to become a therapist myself. Looking back, it was a blessing in disguise, as it gave me meaning and purpose after healing from my own trauma. Initially, I specialized in marriage and family therapy, but I discovered that my passion lies in helping people heal from childhood trauma and abuse. This often manifests as chronic anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I was not too happy with the results from traditional talk therapy, so over the last 20 years, I developed my own holistic approach that combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy with hypnosis, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, energy medicine, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). I have been told by my clients that I am kind, compassionate, wise, and resourceful.
