He also supports people managing grief, addictive behaviors, career stress, and mood challenges like bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.
Matthew uses a mix of methods in his work, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment-based perspectives, and client-centered practices.

He adapts conversations to each person’s history and needs.
Sessions are described as collaborative and flexible, with adjustments made to suit individual preferences.
