Matthew Simmons

My communication style

My communication style is compassionate and collaborative to create a safe environment to explore and identify solutions. Working with me is like meeting with a friend with gentle but firm curiosity in wanting to support you. I pride myself on hearing your story without judgment and being fully present.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started as a young man with many of the same struggles I support today. I realized there is a shared humanity amongst us. Through mindfulness, I have experienced a more values-aligned life and am committed to providing these frameworks to help you live more presently and abundantly.

My goals for you

Effective goal setting is a strengths-based, collaborative process that empowers you to take an active role in therapy and work towards meaningful change. This can include SMART goals, identifying themes and values, scaling questions, and motivational interviewing to develop goals appropriate to your stage of change.

Our first session

Our first session will focus on answering any lingering questions or anxieties you may have about the process or me. We will start by understanding what brought us together and identifying what can lead to a life where you feel truly alive, connected, and aligned with your deepest self.
