Hi there! I am Brandon Matassa, a Mental Health Counselor (MHC-LP) with a Master’s in Education (MSed). My practice focuses on LGBTQ+ issues, men's issues & anxiety and depression. I believe that therapy is a journey that unfolds with time, nurturing, and patience. My approach is rooted in humanistic principles and positive psychology, which means I am committed to understanding you as a whole person and empowering you to build on your strengths. I strive to create a supportive and affirming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

Whether you’re navigating challenges related to identity, managing anxiety or depression, or working through past trauma, I am here to guide you every step of the way. My goal is to walk alongside you in your journey towards growth and healing, offering compassionate support and practical tools for positive change.

If you’re ready to start this journey, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to create a path forward that is uniquely yours! As of 02/26, I have limited availability! Email me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit!
