Matthew Sharkawy

My communication style

I want to make sure everyone is heard. I am a great listener, and I never interrupt the individual speaking. I like to create a calm and inviting environment. When you work with me, you will feel the supportive and relaxing nature of therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had a passion for helping others in life. I've had someone help me in life, and since then, I've always wanted to give back.

My goals for you

I like to gather information and build rapport with my clients. I like to collaboratively approach treatment goal settings with a mindset of understanding what they want to get out of therapy. We then establish those goals and begin the journey together.

Our first session

The first session is about getting to know each other. I love to ask questions to understand a bit about them. I always like to tell clients that I am an open book as well. I believe it's important for them to know that it's ok to ask questions.
