Welcome,

I’m Matthew

As a communication insight therapist I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHC-A). I started my education at Appalachian State University before moving on to complete my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Southern New Hampshire University.

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.
— Fred Rogers

My experience includes adolescent and adult therapy with specialties in communication, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, identity issues, and familial trauma

My mission is to create a safe space for others to work through their issues. I want to help clients reach their therapeutic goals and live a life of authenticity.

I bring a unique blend of expertise to the therapeutic space. I integrate clinical mental health practice with nearly 20 years of leadership experience, in which I heavily focused on people development, communication strategies, and interpersonal dynamics. This unique combination provides you, my client, the opportunity to learn how to resolve conflicts within yourself as well as with others, skills that will directly benefit you and your relationships.

I live in Charlotte with my sassy, senior Golden mix, Murray. Otherwise, I am an avid reader and voracious learner and I’m looking forward to meeting you, learning about you, and helping you get started on your journey.
