Mathew Crawford, LMHC — Therapist in Washington

Hi there, I'm Mathew!

I take a person-centered approach to therapy, fostering a supportive environment where you can heal and thrive. My focus areas include depression, anxiety, trauma, marriage counseling, and borderline personality disorder, and I am committed to helping you navigate your challenges effectively.

My focus

I work with clients facing complex mental health challenges, including Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and psychotic disorders. I'm also experienced in addressing marital conflict.

My approach

I tailor methods to your individual needs, drawing from various frameworks. I use CBT to help you understand how thoughts influence feelings and actions. ACT encourages embracing thoughts and feelings while living according to your values. CPT helps process trauma by challenging unhelpful beliefs.

My communication style

You can expect a tone that's supportive, encouraging, and respectful. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable and understood. My goal is to help you navigate through your questions or challenges with clarity and insight. The environment is open and non-judgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am drawn to this profession out of a deep-seated desire to help others. I am motivated by personal experiences, a passion for mental health, and a calling to support people in their growth and healing. The work is rewarding because it allows me to make a meaningful impact on your life.

My goals for you

I follow a structured approach to ensure your objectives are clear, attainable, and motivating. We begin by having an in-depth conversation about your long-term vision and aspirations. I help you break down your vision into specific, actionable goals that are concrete and clearly defined.

Our first session

During the first session, I'll start by getting to know a bit about you and understanding what you're hoping to achieve. We'll discuss your objectives and any specific issues or topics you want to address. I'll explain how I can assist you and discuss how you prefer to communicate.
