EMDR Therapists in Salem, MA

Hello and welcome. My name is Matt Stella, and my goal is to reconnect you to the wisdom and depth in your life that make all problems workable. In fact, the worst symptoms and problems that we wrestle with often hold the seed for growth and transformation. Working with adults, couples, and men's groups, my life’s work is to facilitate transformation out of all forms of suffering. Part of my work is to serve male survivors of sexual abuse or assault. (See MenHealing.org) When needed, I use EMDR to address and heal the effects of trauma, abuse and neglect for adults of all genders.

I work with clients who are looking to reach a deeper level of fulfillment and may be curious about how to be the best version of themselves. Clients who find me often feel parts of their life feel stuck, are working through a life transition, have experienced profound trauma or grief, or they have a hard time understanding thoughts or patterns in their life. I offer a safe space to explore, heal and create lasting change for the present and future. I rely heavily on EMDR and the mind-body connection in my approach to treatment.

Limited availability at this time. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has provided psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families across the life spectrum for over 10 years. I have been told my style is warm, engaging, and dynamic. I believe that overcoming anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex trauma, and other forms of chronic and acute symptoms can happen within a collaborative and attachment-based therapeutic approach. Transformative healing is possible for all of us! It is an honor to be with my clients on each of their unique journeys.

I only have availability for trauma intensives. I have been a clinical mental health therapist for over 15 years. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults with trauma, anxiety, depression, and major mental illness. I utilize evidenced-based practices specific to the presenting problem, ages, and stages of the client. These include but are not limited to EMDR, CBT/DBT, play therapy, family therapy, narrative therapy, progressive counting, client-focused, and strength based therapy. I am passionate about helping clients overcome challenges and difficulties so that they can reach their full potential.

I specialize in trauma &PTSD in adults often with childhood trauma. I also offer supervision, training and consultation. PTSD is a hidden wound that can hijack the mind and body. Common are feelings of shame, guilt, fear, sadness, anger, unwanted thoughts, feeling on guard, feeling distant from the joys in life. They may struggle with esteem, relationships and trust. Clients express a sense of profound "stuckness" accompanied by a disbelief that things could change or get better. But there's also a hope to hope- which can be scary but also brave. They showed up. They want to get unstuck. They want calm. They want connection.

Accepting new clients! Are you feeling like nothing is working? Tired of talk therapy? Done looping through the same patterns and limiting beliefs of "I am a burden/I am unworthy" leading to shame, guilt, depression and anxiety? By combining psychotherapy& Attachment Focused EMDR with energy medicine (EFT, Reiki, yoga/mindfulness),I can help you overcome these old ways of being while creating space for more joy and fulfillment. I offer a safe space to explore your phobias, fears, concerns and goals, while encouraging curiosity around your experience and to help build a life of deeper meaning and sense of connection.

My focus is to offer a supportive and welcoming space for you to explore your process of healing, and to step into the brilliance of and belonging with all that you are. I offer a compassionate, creative, collaborative, intuitive, trauma-informed, and skill-based approach to the work. My view of holistic is one that considers a systemic lens, as well as the use of integrative modalities that support a mind-body approach for embodied living. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationships, fertility, grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Welcome to my practice. I work with a wide range of people, from those looking to make subtle shifts and build insight to those struggling to manage profound, chronic suffering. I will help you explore the impact of your past and present on your health and well-being and learn how to connect deeply with your self, your body, with others, and with the world around you. My approach is heavily relational, geared towards healing attachment wounds, as well as somatic, centering the body and nervous system - both of which have carried so much burden but are often minimized in therapies that rely exclusively on talk and cognitive process.

My calling is to help people on their journey to healing and wellness. Real healing and growth, I believe, is achieved by addressing the multiple dimensions that make us human beings: caring not only for the body but also the mind and spirit. I work with individuals and couples to resolve issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues and life transition issues. I offer secure online counseling services.

I treat clients who sense a disconnect between life as they are currently experiencing it and the life they know deep inside they are meant to be living. I help my clients heal trauma and pain, overcome obstacles, and gain the clarity that can lead to a lasting sense of purpose, joy and ease. I believe that within each and every one of us lies the wisdom that can lead us to greater life fulfillment. I am honored to offer compassionate psychotherapy intended to reconnect you to your internal wisdom and enhance your capacity to trust in yourself.

My greatest intention in working with you is to create an environment in which you feel truly seen and heard. I see this as a natural path towards assisting you in learning to witness yourself more regularly and breaking away from patterns of self-abandonment. I aim to help you decondition from disempowering beliefs that may be leading you to make behavioral choices out of fear, anxiety and shame and instead guide you towards being able to behave from a place of authenticity, self-trust, self acceptance, and genuine capacity-all of which ultimately serves to help you experience improved emotional regulation in the long term.

Does it seem as if you are weathering the same emotional storm with your partner, no matter what the topic? Does it seem as if life has tossed you into a deep ocean of surging emotions and thoughts- and you're treading water in your moments of disconnection? Or do you feel alone in a dark pit, or frozen and cut off from the one who matters most? Are there nagging problems you just can't seem to find solutions for? Together, you and I can find the shore, the sunshine, the ladder up to the renewed connection to full connection in love.

I will work with you to create a specialized personal plan to help you achieve your goals in recovery from Substance use, Behavioral addictions, Trauma, ADHD, Relationship issues and Dual-diagnosis. Set up your appointment for a free consultation to see how I can help. My approach to therapy is integrative, combining CBT, Person Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness skills to heal both body and mind. I am passionate and committed to helping others achieve their goals and to live a balanced and fulfilled life.

Most healing and growth occur in the context of connections—through enhanced connections to oneself, to others, and to the world. My priority is providing a safe, warm, open, and collaborative environment for my clients. Together we work to address the reasons that bring them to therapy, shift unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and responding, and cultivate greater self-understanding, connectedness, and agency. I feel deeply privileged to do this work and join my clients as they journey towards richer, more peaceful and fulfilling lives.

I'm not a regular therapist, I am a slightly uncool, warm and fuzzy therapist. Life isn't something we should be expected to take on alone. I would be proud to be part of your community and walk alongside you in this journey. I am here to support you in the good moments and the tough ones, too. My passion is caring for other BIPOC individuals’ mental health as they experience an array of life's transitions—higher education, struggling with emerging adulthood, early career & helping professionals, postpartum, parenthood, LGBTQ+ identity, children of immigrants, and anything else that may be feeling too heavy to carry on your own.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Thanatologist, and a musician my unique practice blends two life passions, built on privacy, respect and trust, but most importantly, focusing on hope. I serve people struggling with the fears of life threatening illnesses and life altering transitions. With extended experience I help people cope with past traumas, including stress, anxiety, and depression caused by these fears and losses. Losses may include job, financial security, health, or relationships. Losses alter our lives, causing us to question the meaning of life, and re-prioritize what is important.
