About Helga
I’m Helga M. Genannt Matzko, and I’ve been a Gestalt Therapist for more than twenty-five years. During this time, I have provided therapy and taught several thousands of individuals in eleven countries. Five years ago, I transitioned to live coaching and received my Professional Coaching certification from the ICF (International Coach Federation). As a psychotherapist, I found my philosophical niche and passion for becoming a life-long student and practitioner of Gestalt philosophy and application, working in private practice and becoming known as an expert on addictions before going on to add ‘life coach’ to my professional offerings and skills. I am the founder and director of the Gestalt Institute Rhode Island where I have taught Chemical Dependency and Mental Health Professionals for over 20 years. I am one of just a few hundred graduate of Dr. Martin Seligman’s highly respected Authentic Happiness Program, the only program of its kind in the world. Throughout my life, I’ve lived with steadfast purpose; now I bring that same sense of purpose to my coaching clients, many of them fellow therapists and coaches, seeking to design powerful goals for themselves and their clients. I have found that people often have unrealistic and shallow expectations of happiness that aren’t very accurate in reflecting how life really works. As they begin to believe and act upon these unrealistic expectations, they begin to live them and, more often than not, they are dissatisfied as life fails time and time. When I work directly with clients, we design a vision, including all facets of their life, set goals, and realize them through purposeful intention. Our coach-client journey, just like life, is a constant blending of goals and actions, of trying and seeing what works and what feels right. What I call a ‘spirit of experiment’ is what makes us get to what we need and where we want to be happily and successfully. Helga M. Genannt Matzko, M.A., C.A.G .S. provides in-person and telephone coaching for individuals, couples, groups and professionals looking to LIVE powerfully, happily and fulfilled.
