See what our patients are saying about Mathilde McAlpin

Mathilde has been absolutely fundamental in my healing journey and in my recovery from PTSD. Her presence, professionalism, compassion, and deep understanding have made an extraordinary difference in my life. From the very beginning, I felt seen, heard, and respected in a way that allowed me to feel safe enough to begin healing. PTSD can make life feel overwhelming, confusing, and lonely. Still, Mathilde has guided me with such care, wisdom, and emotional sensitivity that I have been able to reconnect with myself, rebuild my inner strength, and move forward with more clarity and confidence. She is not only an exceptional therapist but also a truly compassionate human being. Her ability to hold space with patience, empathy, and professionalism is rare and deeply meaningful. I am incredibly grateful for the support, tools, and healing environment she has provided. Mathilde has been an essential part of my recovery, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a therapist who is deeply skilled, caring, trustworthy, and truly committed to their clients’ healing and well-being.

Mathilde truly changed my life. I had always struggled to find a provider with whom I could feel comfortable enough to open up, but Mathilde made me feel so understood and supported from day one. She has a unique and natural ability to create a safe space and to motivate you. She was genuinely committed to my growth, and was always so enthusiastic about my capabilities and what I could accomplish in the future that she made me believe it. I have nothing but good things to say about Mathilde and my experience with her. I still think about her and all the tools she provided me with in my daily life, which has significantly changed since working with her. I continue to be amazed at how much she genuinely cared, and how willing she was to be there for me. Mathilde always went above and beyond in the best ways possible, and I will forever be grateful to her for that.

Matti (Mathilde) has truly been a blessing in my life. I had been in therapy for years for my OCD and anxiety, but I had never tried talk therapy and always struggled to find someone I felt comfortable opening up to. When a traumatic life event pushed me to reach out, I found Matti. As a person, she is friendly, warm, and incredibly supportive. She strikes the perfect balance between holding you accountable and making sure you never feel judged. As a professional, she is deeply knowledgeable across a wide range of therapeutic practices and mental health challenges. She is extremely receptive to where you want to take the session or providing structure if you aren't sure where to start. Matti is a fierce advocate, and I feel so lucky to have her on my care team. I know she will definitely go on to help so many others in her career!

Matti is the best therapist I have EVER worked with. She has saved my life in so many ways, and continues to do so every single day. She is patient and understanding, like no other therapist I’ve ever had. I’ve been through a handful of providers and none of them have cared about my well being like she does. She is always willing to help no matter what. I wouldn’t have made it this far if it weren’t for her. If you are looking for a genuine therapist, that works through every bad, and every good day. Matti is the one. I could honestly go on and on about how amazing she is.
