Therapists in Southfield, MI

I am passionate and dedicated to supporting teens, adults, and families through life's challenges of school, work, relationships, and uncertainties. Healing past or current wounds of hurt, guilt and disappointment requires courage. Finding more effective ways to address current negative thinking patterns, beliefs, and experiences requires commitment. A collaborative therapeutic relationship in a non-judgemental and supportive environment allows the opportunity to find balance and hope as you achieve competency in new coping mechanisms. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed or confused, you are welcome as you are.

Welcome! I’m Matt, and I believe that therapy is about making a human connection and working together to overcome your unique challenges. My approach to therapy is conversational and focused on building a trusting relationship. We all have different experiences and beliefs, and I work to ensure that our therapeutic space is welcoming, safe, and judgment-free. It can be a struggle to find someone that understands the unique challenges of military service, and as a U.S. Army veteran myself I take special pride in being able to work with fellow veterans and their families.

We want you to give yourself permission to shine and develop the future that you deserve. We accept you and honor your story and experience. We are all in this together, trying to find our way.

I consider it a privilege to work alongside others who are going through a difficult time. I have seen many occasions in which difficult times become transitions into a more meaningful and gratifying life. My desire is to build a trusting relationship with you so that you feel free to discuss any and all of your concerns. Together we will discuss your goals for change and the best way for us to achieve them. I have over 21 years of experience providing psychotherapy, as well as considerable experience prior to obtaining my Masters.

I have a general practice, working with a broad variety of persons and problems, middle school through elderly. I do about half my work with kids from middle school through finding your way after college. I do a lot of work with persons with depression, anxiety, and serious mental illnesses. I work thoughtfully and respectfully with persons of all sorts of religious backgrounds and sexualities, although myself I am traditional. I tailor my approach to your goals and needs; however, I often try to look at our mutual views about our therapeutic relationship as a way to foster change.

I provide counseling for clients experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, social impairment, and academic difficulty. I provide psychological assessments for those undergoing bariatric (weight loss) surgery, spinal cord stimulator implants for pain management, and other medical procedures.

I believe as one becomes more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, they are better able to focus and honor their own individuality. To meet your unique needs we will explore personal influences and create new methods to address life and relationship dilemmas. My work involves exploring your personal strengths, resiliencies, and ambivalence about change while applying multiple strategies to achieve your goals. This may include an integrated counseling approach of cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology, family systems, and reality therapies. Currently, I'm currently accepting new clients and I work with all ages.

Our clinicians offer advanced knowledge through their dedication to continued education in their fields of interest.

I am a psychologist in practice in Bingham Farms, Michigan. I am very experienced in doing therapy with children, adolescents, and adults, in individual therapy and in marital therapy. I have provided empathic and professional therapeutic help for many patients over my 35 years in practice. When I work with children, I also work with their parents to help them to help their child. I also regularly perform psychological testing, including cognitive and personality assessment, and therapeutic and forensic assessment.

I also believe you are reading this page because you are at a point in life where you need support. So when you are ready, I am here to support you as you recognize your own strength. I understand the waves of life may cause you to question the meaning of life, therefore I welcome your use of spiritual and religious principles as a resource to help you thrive past life’s challenges.
