Matilde Beisso, lcpc

Hi! I’m Mati.

(Pronounced ‘Maddy’, pronouns: she/her/hers)

I grew up moving between South America, the U.S., East Africa, and Europe—always the “new kid,” carrying a mix of identities, languages, and experiences that made me a Third Culture Kid. Those years taught me what it feels like to belong everywhere and nowhere at the same time, and gave me a deep respect for the many different ways a life can be lived.

Through those experiences, I learned that our truest selves don’t always fit neatly into the boxes of what we’re “supposed” to be or do. That’s why I’m passionate about supporting other TCKs and newly diagnosed Autistic adults as they navigate identity, belonging, and authenticity. Whether you’re learning to feel at home in your own skin for the first time or rebuilding life on your own terms, I walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story.

I studied International Relations before earning a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins, and I bring both a global lens and clinical training into my work. My goal is to help you create a life that feels authentic, sustainable, and deeply your own.
