Matthew Cote

My communication style

My communication style is calm, empathetic, and client-led. I create a space where clients feel heard, accepted, and free to express themselves without judgment. I reflect thoughtfully and follow your pace, offering support and presence rather than direction or pressure.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this work through personal and familial experiences with mental health, and a drive to provide mental health access and assistance to those who need it and seek it.

My goals for you

I collaborate with clients to identify meaningful goals and create a clear, realistic path toward them using cognitive therapy and behavioral activation methods. Together, we track progress and adjust as needed, using a pace that respects each person's readiness.

Our first session

First session expectations can be overwhelming and even anxious. I like my clients to relax and feel comfortable during the first session, rather than answering several assessment questionnaires. I want you to experience a professional yet relaxed session to help you open up for the work that needs to be done.
