My name is Mattie–a University of Tennessee Chattanooga graduate, a lover of all things art, and book worm!

I particularly enjoy working with teens as they navigate the challenges that come up during this transitional period in life. I believe everyone deserves a safe, empathetic, non-judgmental person to talk through their problems and that humor is a necessary tool for navigating mental health from mood disorders to trauma.

I have extensive knowledge and experience in working with trauma, mood disorders, thought disorders, suicidal ideation, self harm behaviors, behavioral concerns, autism, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I have certifications and training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

My time at the Middle Path actually started all the way back in August of 2021 when I was placed here as an intern working with the teen and adult groups. I’m honored to return as the Teen Group therapist now that I have completed my clinical licensure!

I am grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of your teen’s journey and to get to work with you as parents as you help them navigate these formative years!
