If you're feeling overwhelmed by life and having difficulty coping with a mix of emotions, I am here to help! I am Matthew Clayton, a Rockford native and Licensed Social Worker with a wealth of experience offering tailored therapy to individuals, couples, and families facing diverse mental health challenges. Alongside my wife, Kayla Clayton, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, we have over 25 years of combined expertise in mental health. I specialize in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and person-centered therapy, ensuring each client receives customized care.
My academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services and Criminal Justice and a Masters in Social Work with a clinical emphasis, equipping me to deliver evidence-based interventions for depression, anxiety, age-related concerns, grief and loss, addiction, and adjustment issues.
