Matt SmithLicensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC

About

The crux of my approach is simple, but versatile: I use anything and everything available to make breakthroughs possible. We all do better with an expansive toolkit. EMDR for "stuckness" / trauma and Gottman methods for couples to repair & connect. (Well worth YouTubing either for a sense of them.) Once we understand each other and you are insight-equipped, we'll put insight into action. But in ways that feel authentic to your personal experience of things. Clients often report that my approachable, humorous, "very human" style makes therapy a much more effective experience even when exploring difficult content. When approaching your struggles, I focus on your personal experience with creative applications that use elements of your life which naturally motivate you. With that, we gain a special momentum that keeps you enthusiastic about your progress. We also keep a careful watch on whatever elements repeatedly trip you up. Small victories lead to flourishing.
