Meet Arantza Mata LAC
I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Associate trauma therapist and relationship counselor based in Phoenix, deeply committed to helping people heal through life’s most challenging experiences. Since beginning my practice in 2021, I’ve had the honor of working with individuals and couples across a wide range of settings—from community mental health clinics to private practice, and even in high-stakes environments like immigration and asylum evaluations.
My approach is grounded, compassionate, and evidence-based. I'm trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy—modalities that help people not just manage symptoms, but create lasting change and deeper connection in their lives and relationships.
Whether you're navigating trauma, struggling in your relationship, or facing a major life transition, I provide a safe and affirming space where healing can begin.
Ready to take the next step? Contact me today to schedule a free consultation. Let’s work together to get you where you want to be.
Soy un terapista de trauma bilingüe (inglés/español) en Phoenix con un profundo compromiso de ayudar a las personas a sanar de los momentos más difíciles de la vida. Comencé a practicar terapia en 2021 y desde entonces he tenido el privilegio de trabajar en diversos entornos, desde salud mental comunitaria hasta práctica privada, y en espacios de alto riesgo como evaluaciones de inmigración y asilo.
Estoy capacitada en Brainspottingy EMDR, un poderoso enfoque terapéutico basado en el cerebro para procesar el trauma a nivel del sistema nervioso. Ya sea que esté atravesando un trastorno de estrés postraumático complejo, estrés continuo o el peso del desplazamiento migratorio, mi objetivo es ofrecer un espacio fundamentado y sin prejuicios donde la curación no solo sea posible, sino real.
Mi enfoque combina el conocimiento clínico con una profunda empatía. Entiendo que el trauma no siempre tiene voz, pero vive en el cuerpo, los patrones y el silencio. Juntos trabajaremos para sacarlo a la luz, para que puedas avanzar con claridad y fuerza.
