Mateja's unique blend of Eastern and Western practices sets her aside from other counselors in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and surrounding areas. Mateja has studied and practices several healing modalities including neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), hypnosis/guided meditation, and Emotional Freedom Technique ("tapping technique") among others that has proven to be one of the most effective approaches in treating anxiety and PTSD. NLP works with linguistic and neurology and is effective technique that saves years of therapy as it works with a subconscious mind.
Mateja has had great success with clients who need more than just a traditional therapy. When treating depression, these techniques has been very effective in changing irrational thought patterns and replacing them with more positive self-talk.
Mateja has special interest in working with couples and women. She was able to assist many couples who did not have success with other therapists and were discouraged that therapy can help. Along with her great capacity for compassion and being genuine due to her own struggles in life, she uses "Imago" approach in working with couples. This approach is based on the work of Harville and Helen Hendricks. It is found on the premise that we attract a romantic partner who in one way or the other resembles the characteristics of our primary caregivers and in most cases we are not even aware of it. By exploring childhood issues that are many times deeply ingrained she has been able to help partners understand the pattern of ongoing and often emotionally charged conflicts and teach couples how to communicate effectively and learn effective conflict resolution skills. Some other challenges that she was able to help clients with include divorce, separation, infidelity, addictions, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, abuse, life transitions, financial issues and parenting issues. Most of all she helps client see things from a solution focused standpoint and provides them with a "tool box" to effectively deal with challenges even after therapy has been successfully completed.
For women she is focusing her work on regaining self-love and empower women to be their best self and to follow their dreams. She is conducting monthly women groups as well on topics such as healthy living, healthy relationships, spirituality and self-esteem.Over the years Mateja has put together extensive reading list that can be found on her website www.HolisticCoachingInternational. Being an avid reader, Mateja is also a published author and published her autobiography in 2010 titled "My Journey to Self-Discovery." It can be purchased by visiting ww.lulu.com or her website. She continues to write and contributes articles to her practice newsletter and online magazines and plans to write a second book on relationships.
