Fortified Families Change the World

At BrightSpot Families, we’ll walk alongside you, develop a plan, and teach you new skills that will fortify your fortress and family, start your ripple, and ultimately change the world.

Fortifying families by teaching individual coping, relationship, and parenting skills.

OUR MISSION

No child asks to be raised in a dysfunctional family, one full of psychological and physical abuse, where someone abuses alcohol and drugs, suffers from mental illness, and engages in criminal behavior. We firmly believe fortified families create strong individuals, whereas dysfunctional families create weak individuals.

Through therapy (individual, couples, family, sport psychology), Dr. Mata’s book, or workshops, we want to help create more fortified families and give more children the opportunity to experience fortress living.

Is your child’s behavior holding you hostage?

Our Services

Individual Therapy

From stress to anxiety to depression to trauma and everything in between, we’ve got you. We’ll use evidenced-based treatments to reduce thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are getting in the way of you living the life you want.

Parent Coaching

Your child wasn’t born with a manual, unfortunately. We’ll work together each session so that you feel like you’re leaving with practical strategies to concur any parenting issue.

Couples Therapy

Relationships take work, especially when a couple is experiencing a transition. We’ll be your objective third party and help you work through any and all issues. 

Sport Psych Coaching

Athletes experience mental blocks or lack confidence or struggle regulating their emotions. We’ll teach sport psychology concepts in a practical way–helping any athlete level up their game.

Family Therapy

Families are complicated, but they are the building blocks of society. We’ll use a family systems approach to fortify your family.

ADHD Testing

We offer neuropsychological testing for children, teens, and adults. ADHD testing typically includes three sessions: intake, testing, and feedback.

Kate Harris, Mother of Three Children

“Dr. Mata is a treasure trove of practical, yet substantial, parenting wisdom and guidance. Her no nonsense approach cuts through the clutter and I have learned so much from her about what it means to be an intentional parent raising secure and well-equipped kiddos. Everyone should be learning at the feet of Dr. Mata!”

Are you too busy parenting to learn how to become a more intentional parent?

What if you could learn how in under 7 minutes a day? The No. 2 Parenting Book features practical tips in the time it takes to poop (a mom poop, not a dad poop).
