I understand what you tell me and I keep what I hear. Mate Masie offers a safe, inviting, and judgment-free environment where you can heal and grow.
Traditional Therapy
Traditional therapy is an evidence-based approach to treat mental health concerns by a trained mental health professional.
At Mate Masie, Felicia takes a holistic approach to traditional therapy utilizing techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR, in addition to holistic approaches such as grounding, breathing, and mindfulness.
Reiki Services
Reiki is a healing energy that we received as a gift from the universe.
Felicia’s Reiki practice sees healing as our birthright along with other healing practices that our ancestors have shared with us that they have used since the beginning of time. Reiki can be used to treat physical, mental, and emotional conditions.
Shadow Work
Carl Jung said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
Your “Shadow,” are parts of yourself that you deem undesirable. Your Shadow includes feelings of jealousy, guilt, fear, shame, nastiness, etc. It’s the unconscious underbelly of ourselves.
Chakra Balancing
Chakra Balancing is a form of energy healing that focuses on channeling energy into the seven chakras.
When treating chakras we are referring to treating your energetic body. A person is not only made up of physical attributes. Every person has an energy that extends beyond their physical body.
Healing Circles
Healing circles with Felicia take on a restorative format and a transformative approach.
In working with Felicia, you will acknowledge that African and indigenous cultures, despite constant abuse under the dominant hierarchy, have preserved access to and memory of their traditional ways, providing a pattern of remembrance for all. Healing Circles are one of those gifts they have left for us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because every person has uniquely different needs when it comes to therapy it is best to schedule a consultation. This way Felicia can meet with you to hear your goals and concerns to collaboratively arrive at the best course of treatment for your needs.
Mate Masie offers traditional clinical counseling services for adults, children, adolescents, families, and groups. We have a wide range of modalities to include EMDR treatment, TF-CBT, and DBT to name a few.
Here at Mate Masie we know the importance of offering alternative holistic healing solutions. We currently engage in shadow work, reiki, chakra balancing, and more.
Traditional counseling also popularly known as psychotherapy is an evidence-based approach used to treat individuals who meet varying diagnostic criteria for mental health conditions including PTSD, depression, and trauma. Traditional therapy uses both therapeutic and holistic approaches such as CBT, grounding, and breathing techniques.
Standalone holistic services are an approach that takes into account the entire person including their mind, body, and spirit. Techniques such as Reiki, Shadow Work, and Chakra Balancing are used without any accompanying therapeutic interventions. Standalone holistic services are not a replacement for traditional therapy and should not be used to treat mental health conditions alone.
Ethically, Mate Masie is unable to provide both therapy and standalone holistic services (Reiki, Chakra Balancing etc.) to the same individual.
Mate Masie currently does not accept any insurance. However, we do have a sliding scale option for individuals who meet income guidelines. Additionally, we will provide a superbill for individuals with an out of network option on their insurance plan.
