About
I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have pursued additional education through multiple certificate courses and specializations in integrative mental health care. These studies have included comprehensive training in mindfulness techniques, yoga practices, herbalism, and aromatherapy. These enriching experiences have enabled me to offer a holistic approach that combines traditional therapeutic methods with complementary practices, fostering a comprehensive and individualized approach to your mental and emotional well-being.
Matt (he/him/his) is a highly experienced professional in the mental health industry, bringing two decades of progressive expertise to his counseling practice. His therapeutic approach is rooted in a cultural-relational perspective, recognizing the importance of our individual and collective experiences. Matt firmly believes that each person possesses the potential for greatness, and he is dedicated to helping clients tap into their inner strengths.
One of Matt's key priorities is to establish a strong therapeutic rapport with his clients. He understands that this rapport forms the foundation for effective therapy, allowing for the exploration of new relational insights and the reconstruction of old relational patterns. Matt has specialized experience in trauma treatment with adults, addressing addiction issues, and managing mood disorders. He recognizes that every individual is unique, and therefore, he avoids a one-size-fits-all approach to mental health treatment.
Recognizing a need for specialized therapy services addressing LGBTQ+ issues, Matt founded Life Space Therapy Services. This initiative reflects his commitment to providing tailored support to individuals within the LGBTQ+ community.
It's important to note that Matt is currently a pre-licensed resident in counseling in the state of Virginia. Consequently, he is only able to serve clients who reside in Virginia, adhering to the regulations and guidelines of his licensing status.
