More about Matthew
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a psychotherapist with over 5 years experience. My experience consists of working within two different mental health facilities as well as a dialysis clinic. My behavioral health and medical experience includes: providing group and individual psychotherapy to clients suffering from addiction and behavioral issues; assisting clients with the ability to cope with anxiety and/or stress related to chronic illnesses; and addressing impactful life events in a safe manner, at your pace, to heal and resolve past trauma.
My expertise includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), CBT interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I have knowledge of practice with families across culture, race, and ethnicity, as well as the impact of domestic violence, child abuse, and chronic illness within those groups.
If you're seeking out therapy for the first time: welcome! I know how difficult that decision can be and how intimidating it seems to open up to a stranger.
I look forward to meeting you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
