Matthew Bernarda

Hi there, I'm Matthew!

I specialize in helping adults navigate intense emotions, past trauma, substance abuse, and identity challenges. My approach integrates existential therapy, family systems, and narrative techniques to empower you in shifting perspectives, fostering self-compassion, and finding deeper meaning and purpose in your life.

My focus

I work with clients who experience deep emotions, struggle with substance abuse, and navigate existential questions. I specialize in supporting LGBTIQQ individuals and those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and borderline personality issues. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for healing and growth.

My approach

My approach is flexible and tailored to your unique needs. I blend existential therapy, family systems, and narrative techniques to help you shift perspectives, foster self-compassion, and find greater meaning. I create a safe, open space where you can be yourself—humor, including dark humor, often helps make challenging topics easier to discuss.
