Getting to know Laura Matunas
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
Regardless of your presenting problem, the impact of therapy can be life-altering-not just for yourself but for those around you. My clients can expect a judgment-free, safe zone to discuss their goals and concerns at a pace that feels comfortable. While I might gently nudge a client toward further analysis, I deeply respect autonomy and self-determination. I am here to provide resources, strategies, support, and insight as we work together to navigate difficult life circumstances, process painful past experiences, or overcome barriers that are keeping you stuck.
The strategies I use in therapy vary case by case but are all strengths-based and trauma-informed. My highly customized approach to treatment means clients can expect someone who will provide resources and support based on what works best for them to achieve maximum results.
It takes emotional energy and strength to genuinely look at yourself and work toward improvement. This task might seem daunting and is easier to put on the back burner. However, a better “you” is inside waiting to emerge and live a more fulfilled life. Don’t you want to meet them'
Laura Matunas has a Master’s in Social Work from Boise State University. Laura is a Licensed Social Worker, LSW 44SL06919400 at Cerebral. Supervised by Ebonie Walker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW 44SC05732000.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work primarily with persons with a history of sexual assault and other traumas. Their issues are pervasive and complex, experiencing an array of symptoms and potential triggers such as depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, enuresis, sleep disturbance, anger, panic attacks, and more. These clients want to navigate life without fear and regain a sense of purpose and safety. Often, they want to find the will to live and quiet suicidal thoughts.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I applaud anyone who takes interest in improving their lives on any spectrum, whether their overall quality of life or to process trauma and grief. Having gone through the therapeutic process, I understand the frustration and joy, the heartbreak and breakthroughs that will occur. This experience allows me to anticipate potential areas of opportunity, such as when to push and when to support. Therapeutic work is like a dance; depending on the song sometimes I will lead and sometimes you will, but the collaboration will always remain. This work is not one size fits all, and I have multiple modalities of treating each symptom based on your unique experiences. Understanding the “why” of a condition can help get to the “how” and make it feel less daunting.
