Philosophy and Approach

Relationships are the foundation of our lives. How well we relate to others and ourselves significantly impacts the quality of our lives. However, many people have had painful experiences that confine their view of themselves and affect their ability to have deep and meaningful relationships. Past trauma and abuse often leave people feeling isolated, anxious, and depressed. They often feel powerless to overcome feeling unworthy or “different” from others, unable to figure out how to create and maintain long standing loving relationships.

In therapy, I provide new emotional experiences in which you can become aware of what is hindering you from gaining a fuller experience of yourself and your relationships.

I am a certified EFT therapist, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals, Couples and Families is an empirically validated method of therapy. EFT utilizes adult attachment as the basis of understanding and alleviating relationship problems, moving from stuck, confusing and repetitive negative interactions to restorative bonding moments. Interventions and key emotional bonding moments re-organize and repair emotional responses and create a more secure connection. I continue to seek ongoing training in this framework to best serve those I help.

Ultimately, I work with you so that you might better understand and relate to yourself as well as others in an honoring and connecting way. I believe in the resiliency of the human heart as well as the cognitive changes that can take place within a strong therapeutic relationship.

I work with couples, individuals, and families in order to help you live a more intentional and connected life.

Crystal J. Mattox, LMFT


Education & Training

My undergraduate degree is in Human Development & Family Studies. During my time at Warner Pacific College I focused on how my education impacted the person I was becoming. The integration and transformation of dichotomies into paradoxes.

I am also a graduate of George Fox University where I earned a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Major areas of interest to me that continue to be a part of my ongoing education and training include but are not limited to: Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, Individuals & Families, Trauma and Loss and Abuse. I participate in supervision as an ongoing part of my personal and professional growth, as this commitment to learning and growing is an important part of how I may serve you to the best of my abilities.
