Therapists in Ashland, OR

I strongly believe that all humans can reach an optimum state of health. An essential part of achieving this often involves addressing limiting habitual patterns of behavior or belief systems as well as learning skills to optimize healthy relationships. I seek to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment in which clients can identify their own answers and achieve tangible results. This can occur both in individual sessions as well as with the collaboration of family members. My practice has lead me to work with youth, young adults, adults, and families facing some very challenging life situations and internal struggles.

Alternatives increase our choices in life. Alternative psychotherapy considers all aspects of living, including work, lifestyle and spiritual practice, as well as thoughts and feelings, in healing our mind, body and spirit.

I now offer Psilocybin Experiencing and Micro Dosing. Research has shown and I have seen treatment resistant addiction conditions respond rapidly to psilocybin treatment, often in one session! I also provide assistance in dealing with what triggers your cravings, repair of relationships, and healing of traumas that resulted from using or may have contributed to beginning using in the first place. I also work with complicated grief from the loss of a loved one to overdose, suicide, or other traumatic losses. I have over 50 years of personal recovery.

Growth and healing is often a process of rebuilding a sense of self, self-worth, shifting patterns and creating new, healthy ways of thinking. Whether you experience anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or struggle with a history of trauma, we can work together to find your path to freedom and happiness. As a multi-modal therapist, I use an array of interventions and tools, partnering with you to achieve your goals. Deep healing takes a lot of courage and I commend you on taking the first step!

I am passionate about working with families, individuals, and couples to help generate the change they desire. As an individual and family counselor, I believe that we hold and can find the answers to our problems. We create solutions and understandings that work for us in our environments. Therefore, I endeavor to create a friendly, informative, and supportive relationship where challenges can be explored and addressed in the best ways possible. It is important to me to counsel others with acceptance, honesty, and compassion. I enjoy learning about the lives and experiences of every type of person. I accept most clients.

I use EMDR to help people change their lives. It is a safe, powerful, and effective way to work together NOW.

Accepting New Clients! Hello and welcome! Life can present various challenges, transitions, and stressors that can be overwhelming at times – perhaps you are searching for help with: grief, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or trauma; family conflict/parenting issues; unhealthy personal or professional relationships; child/teen with behavioral problems; or generational trauma or racial discrimination. I acknowledge the difficulty one may have with seeking help. This may be due to historical stigmas, masculinity associated with being male, or the feeling of “needing to do it all” and not having your power acknowledged or honored as a woman.

Dr. Matt Ditty is a Psychologist in the State of Oregon. He relocated back to Southern Oregon, where he was born and raised, after the completion of his doctoral studies at George Fox University and internship at Baylor University (2021).

I help adults and youth through challenging times. Together, we will break down unhelpful patterns and old fears in order for you to make meaningful changes and increase your wellness. I tailor my counseling "toolkit" toward your individual values and health goals and I strive to create safety at all times; giving you options and empowering your healing. I especially appreciate accessing depth work with motivated clients to investigate the root causes of unhappiness. As a graduate of the respected counseling program at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA, my foundation is research-driven, while also mind-body and holistically aware.

Showing up is the most important and often hardest part of this process. Once you make it to the office, we can usually find a direction for change you feel connected to. If we don't show up, change isn't likely to occur. I don't care if you are sad, angry, rageful, confused, indifferent, suicidal, or in despair, if you show up, I promise to do the same. If we can't make space for the spectrum of our humanity in the therapeutic space then where can we? I believe people are genuinely trying to do the best they can with what they have, and sometimes what we have isn't useful for the immediate situation. So, we get help.

I provide mental and behavioral health care for individuals and families across the lifespan from all ethnic, cultural and financial backgrounds; consultation, training, and supervision, and psychological assessment and testing.

Has your anxiety or depression gotten out of control? Is your relationship on life support? Do you feel like you just can't get over a loss in your life and move forward? Or maybe you just feel lost and don't know where your life is heading. You don't have to keep trying to fix these things on your own. We all need help at different times in our lives to get unstuck and start fully living again. I'm here to help you on your journey. So many people I've worked with are happier and healthier now than they ever thought was possible. That's possible for you too. You just have to take the first step and reach out.
