Marly Mathes, LCSW

The Moment is now.
And The Moment is yours.

Welcome!

At The Moment Therapy, LLC, we deeply believe in the transformative power of a single moment — that 'aha' moment when we uncover something new about the world or ourselves, or that moment of joy when truly being seen and understood by another. It's in these moments that our perspectives shift, our minds expand, and we gain the clarity needed to take our next steps. At The Moment Therapy, we embrace these pivotal moments, exploring and living within them to uncover fresh points of connection and growth that can guide us into the next chapter of our lives.

As an experienced LCSW, I offer therapy and counseling services tailored to individuals, children, and families. I believe in the therapeutic relationship and the power of therapy and am committed to partnering with you to uncover your unique strengths while navigating challenges. Together, we can capitalize on those moments that allow us to build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and create lasting positive change.

Therapeutic Services

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy offers a personalized approach to help you navigate life's challenges and build resilience. Using evidence-based approaches like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), along with relational and compassion-focused therapies, we faciliate a supportive environment tailored to your unique needs. At the Moment Therapy, LLC the therapeutic relationship is deeply valued and we work to understand you as an individual, fostering a safe space where healing and growth can take place. Together, we will explore your strengths, address maladapted coping strategies and self-limiting patterns of thought or behavior, and work towards achieving meaningful and long-lasting growth.

Family Therapy

Family therapy offers a supportive space where all members are seen, heard, and valued. We believe family therapy must be solution-focused and strengths-based. Using trauma-informed approaches like family systems theory and behavior modification techniques, we facilitate an environment where each person is treated as a unique individual. Together, we’ll explore challenges within the family dynamic, highlight each member’s strengths, find creative ways to resolve current challenges and cultivate growth.

Child &
Adolescent Therapy

Child and adolescent therapy provides a safe, nurturing space for young individuals to explore and heal from challenges they face. With years of experience working in public schools, Marly has supported children affected by trauma and mental health diagnoses that impact their daily functioning, both at school and at home. We use a variety of approaches tailored to each child, including play therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), narrative therapy, and elements of art therapy. Together, we will work to understand your child’s unique needs, strengthen coping skills, and inspire continued progress and growth.
