Life is unpredictable.

Are you tired of never seeming to feel good enough- no matter how hard you try or how much you accomplish? Are you physically and emotionally exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone? Or are you tired of beating yourself up over every mistake? If this sounds like you then I want you to know that you're not alone. These are common characteristics of someone who struggles with perfectionism and setting boundaries, which is what I specialize in!

Everyone needs hope. We despair and turn to alcohol, food, shopping, sex and the infinite screen to fill our void. We think we know what we want: intimacy, confidence, inner peace and a sense of achievement. We want to matter. We are tortured at times by self doubt implanted by past traumas. I offer a secure place to be yourself to unravel your secrets, fears, shame and guilt. I have 26 years post-doctoral clinical experience counseling individuals, couples and families. I view human problems from a social systemic perspective addressing the individual and their social context.

Are you watching porn when you’ve tried to stop? Are you sexually “on” too much or all the time?

I’m Nitish Matthew. My calling started during my 3rd year as a pre-med student. Something in me wanted to figure out why I felt like I had a chip on my shoulder even though I was a leader in campus ministry. This lead me to investigating Psychology that became my vocation thereafter. Understanding why humans feel, think, and act in certain ways helped me to understand myself and people around me. I could feel God had given me new tools to learn about His pinnacle of creation. It was like gaining a window into my soul. After all, by definition, Psychology is the study of the soul.

I love to hear the stories of other people. Sometimes, our stories are painful, we may feel stuck, or need to make a change because the way it has been going is not working. Sometimes, we need to learn new narratives about ourselves, and stuffing our thoughts and emotions leave us feeling sad, depressed, anxious, afraid, or feeling physically ill. Other times, we need support as we navigate difficult situations (COVID-19) such as a health crisis, the death of a loved one, or working with relationships that challenge us. I currently work with teens, adults, couples, and families.

Sometimes life goes exactly as planned and other times we face unexpected curveballs. This can result in grief, loss, depression, anxiety and more. When this happens, life can seem daunting and insurmountable but there is always hope. With a caring ear, guidance, & therapy methods that fit your situation, the challenges of life can be a catalyst for growth, healing, and joy! I consider it an honor to come alongside clients as they work on healing and overcoming their trials.

Life overwhelms us all at times. As a counselor, I meet you in those difficult parts of life, accompany you on your unique journey to redemption, healing and wholeness, helping you secure meaningful and lasting change. Together we name your problems and find their solutions; both the issues and the solutions are unique to you. Often we are pressured to "profile" ourselves-to label or describe ourselves in an way so that allows others to quickly "peg" who we are. But we are much more complex-- each of us has a story to tell. Each narrative has a distinctive trajectory.

My main focus is on youth and adults with anxiety, depression, self-identity and adjustment challenges. Changes to the environment, work, the people you love or close to will sometimes comes as anticipated, but other times as surprises and you may not feel equipped to deal with them just yet.
