You're functioning at work, at home, on paper — but something underneath isn't right. The shutdowns, the blowups, the 2 a.m. overthinking, the irritability you you take out on the people you love the most - that's where we start. Most of the men I work with are carrying more than they let on: pressure at work, conflict at home, ADHD that's finally catching up, anxiety that shows up as anger, or a low-grade feeling that they're failing some test no one will name. You don't need to be in crisis to come in — you just need to be tired of doing this on your own.
My style is direct, warm, and laid-back. No clinical jargon, no vague nodding. We'll build practical tools you can use this week — communication, emotional regulation, focus, follow-through, boundaries — while also getting underneath the patterns that keep the same fights, slumps, and shutdowns showing up.
I'm in network with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee and see clients in person in downtown Johnson City and by telehealth anywhere in TN — including Kingsport, Bristol, and the surrounding rural areas. Call, text, or email for a free consult and we'll figure out together whether it's a fit.

Most of the men I see are dealing with some mix of all three: ADHD that's catching up with them at work, a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall, and a quiet sense that they should have this figured out by now. We treat them together — because the focus problems, the shutdowns, and the conflict at home are usually parts of the same story, not separate ones.

Matt is genuine, down-to-earth, and easy to connect with. He combines that authenticity with strong clinical skill, especially in ADHD, and a deep investment in his clients' wellbeing. I trust him fully and would refer clients without hesitation.

We will start by clarifying what is bringing you to therapy, how it is affecting your life, and what you want to be different. From there, we will build practical tools for the problems showing up now while also exploring the past experiences, trauma, or relationship patterns that may be driving the cycle.
