Autumn Matthews, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Autumn!

I work best with people who are open to looking at things with a different perspective and trying new approaches. I believe everyone has the potential for change and to make a better life.

My focus

I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma history, life challenges, and regular life struggles. I am open to working with LGBTQ+ clients as an ally.

My approach

I use bits and pieces from several orientations, focusing on you being in charge of your own growth. I work from person-centered and trauma-informed approaches, believing you can embrace new ways of thinking once given the opportunity.

My communication style

I'm usually relaxed and informal, utilizing humor, sarcasm, and positive tones. I've been told I have a soft, kind tone, but I'm also more than willing to laugh with you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been fascinated by people and their lives since taking a psychology class. I find the adaptability and capability of people to be an exciting prospect.

My goals for you

I encourage you to set both short-term and long-term goals, with the understanding that these goals can change and adapt as you move along the process.

I explain my qualifications and how I work, including whether you choose to have homework or not, and exploring techniques or options that interest you.
