Family Member Quote
“Matthew was able to connect with our adult son in a way that no therapist has before. Matthew would challenge him when needed, but in a way that felt supportive to him. Not only was he highly skilled in working with our son, but he also helped us as a family. We had many family sessions where Matthew was able to help us navigate the tricky path of living with and caring for our adult child. He was also able to help us see things from his perspective.
Matthew is very empathic. He intuitively understands people and is able to meet them where they are at. Matthew helped both us and our son in many ways. I am so grateful for all that he has done for us.”
