Paige Pelonis (Matos) is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at La Vie Counseling Center, under the supervision of Ricky Jackson, M.S., LMFT, #MFT83813.

After earning her B.A. at Cal State Long Beach, Paige created a nonprofit designed to combine her love of art and storytelling with her passion for supporting those in the community navigating housing and/or mental health challenges. Through her nonprofit work, she discovered a passion for supporting people experiencing a wide range of trauma and adversities including homelessness, violence, sexual assault, substance use, grief, and life transitions.

Paige earned her Master’s in Clinical Psychology in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Pepperdine University, and she brings more than a decade of experience working as a case manager, a care coordinator, a peer support specialist, and as a nonprofit founder and executive in the community mental health and supportive housing sectors to her work as a member of the La Vie Community. Paige’s therapeutic and trauma-informed approach is focused on helping individuals explore and reshape their personal narratives to foster healing and growth. She also recognizes the power of art and creativity in the healing process. Her style is collaborative, strengths-based, and person-centered, with an emphasis on creating a safe and compassionate environment where clients feel empowered to share their experiences and work toward their goals.

Whether clients are seeking support for issues related to identity, relationships, trauma, or everyday stress, Paige is committed to walking alongside them on their journey toward well-being.
