In 2376, Matthias was counseling the Andorian Shathrissia zh'Cheen (or "Thriss"), who was suffering from depression due to the absence of her bond-mate Thirishar ch'Thane, although she was unable to prevent Thriss committing suicide. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novels: This Gray Spirit, Cathedral)

While on Andor, she purchased saf from an Andorian vendor which was later stolen used on Charivretha zh'Thane, and also helped Prynn Tenmei, when she accidental over dosed during her trip with Thirishar ch'Thane to the cilty, she was luck to have medical folks that understand the problems with saf, after meeting Reij Clan

Matthias was part of a strike team that liberated Andor's Federation Councillor, Charivretha zh'Thane, from a radical faction that held her hostage. (DS9 - Worlds of Deep Space Nine novel: Andor: Paradigm)

Phillipa was a capable counselor with a highly developed sense of professional ethics. She once refused to release details of her sessions with Shathrissia zh'Cheen to Colonel Kira Nerys and Lieutenant Ro Laren, unless they directly dealt with station security. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: This Gray Spirit)

In the aftermath of Elias Vaughn's injury that he suffered during the Borg Invasion of 2381 which left him comatose and near death, Matthias counseled his daughter, Prynn Tenmei. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Plagues of Night)

Her assistant counselors aboard DS9 included Lieutenants Valeska Knezo and Hamish Collins. Following the Destruction of Deep Space 9 in 2383, Matthias and her staff relocated to Bajoran Space Central on Bajor, where Starfleet assigned her a third assistant counselor, Ensign Valinar.

Lieutenant Commander Matthias was assigned to Deep Space 9 (II) prior to its official opening in August 2385. Due to the increased number of personnel and residents, chief medical officer Doctor Julian Bashir added a fourth assistant counselor to her staff, Ensign Delinia Phlox. (DS9 - The Fall novel: Revelation and Dust)

Background[]

Heather Jarman commented: "I did get to create a new minor character--the counselor that replaces Ezri on DS9. After Deanna and Ezri, I had fun playing with a new shrink-head. I hope to do more with Lieutenant Commander Phillipa Matthias and her family in the future. Her husband is a Bajoran, an orphan exiled during the Occupation, and I think he could offer an 'everyman' kind of POV...In Phillipa, I wanted to create a normal person--a well-educated, well-rounded person who didn't have any extraordinary abilities or celebrity parents or infamous history. With the O'Briens being gone, I think we're missing that mom-dad-kids dynamic that provides a counterpoint to all the angst going on with everyone else". [1]

In Star Trek Online Matthias is voiced by Lani Minella^WP, who also plays Subcommander Mivek, Admiral T'nae, and provides the voice for the Federation computer (following Majel Barrett's death).
