Healing shouldn't be a struggle; it’s a journey toward liberation. I approach therapy with the belief that it doesn’t need to leave you with a “thinking hangover” between sessions. Instead, we’ll dive into a different way of healing—one that prioritizes your body’s wisdom and innate responses. My goal is to help you feel safe and grounded in your own skin, fostering a deeper connection with yourself. My passion lies in helping humans who have faced trauma, particularly those struggling with disconnection and a sense of unsafety in their relationships or attempting to balance substance use with mental wellness responses.

Learning to live life leads to savoring every moment as though it were your last. The heart of counseling should enhance your sense of living in the present, rather than dwelling on past resentments or postponing life until retirement or some distant untold future. Counseling is not about fixing, but about understanding each couple's unique needs, wants, and concerns with empathy, sincerity, encouragement, and connectedness. Couples counseling is goal-oriented, and skills-based with a productive outlook toward cooperative living. Happy marriages do not occur by chance, but only when you make it a priority now and, in the future.

Psychotherapy is a powerful opportunity to better understand oneself, others, our contexts and histories, and the interplay among these elements. While some individuals come to me seeking relief from concrete symptoms of anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, others wish to wrest themselves from a more opaque sense of disconnection, emptiness, or dissatisfaction. Regardless of what brings you to psychotherapy, I offer a space that is warm, empathically attuned, collaborative, and that offers the necessary factors to both promote insight and, more importantly, move you towards a new, fulfilling experience of yourself and life.

Matthew Cramer treats people struggling with: addictive use of substances or behaviors, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, job stress and the lasting impact of trauma. If you're considering therapy but aren't sure, then you've come to the right place. Most people who see Matthew have little to no experience with therapists or therapy. Many are uncomfortable asking for help, believing it is a sign of "weakness." Others come from families where "staying strong," and keeping "personal business" in the family was the norm. Whatever the story, they are able to open up to him.
