Hello! My name’s Matt, nice to meet you! I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2007, and, despite initially being licensed in another state, I returned to New Jersey, where I began working as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) about ten years ago. I soon settled into the role of clinical therapist, being recognized as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board of Certified Counselors, with a tendency to work with those coping with, anxiety, depression, or a combination of the two. (Amongst others!)
My approach is tailored to each individual, as no two people are alike. I help clients recognize patterns of behavior that have led to negative outcomes, affecting their relationships, work, and personal lives. I've worked with many clients who have bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma, grief, and work/home/social life imbalances.
As someone who's been there, I can relate to what you're going through. I've made my fair share of mistakes and struggled with depression and anxiety, so I know how it feels. It's important to remember that you're not alone in this. There are people who care about you and want to help. Together, we can find a way through this. You're going to be okay.

I have the most experience working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or a combination of any of the three. I believe these three operate on a spectrum, often overlapping and causing confusion. I am here to help you sort out and cope with these emotions. You will be ok.

I find that it is absolutely essential that therapy be custom-tailored for the individual. This may result in the use of mainly one form, such as CBT, or a combination of approaches. I've worked with clients to help them better control excessive worry, having too many "what if" moments, overthinking, hyper-focusing, and being lost in the past, among many other concerns.
