Our therapists offer PTSD & trauma therapy in Tucson, AZ

Hi, my name is Matt—guitar player, retired Naval officer, licensed professional counselor, and history buff. I graduated with my undergraduate degree in History from the University of Colorado at Boulder, served in the United States Navy, then earned my Master's degree in Counseling from the University of Arizona. I work with adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, grief and loss, and trauma. For those who are ready, willing, and able, we can start working on methodologies, techniques, and strategies to make life a little easier.

I primarily focus on trauma informed care, solution-oriented approaches, acceptance and commitment interventions, strength-based methodologies, and the development and sustainment of hope and motivation. In addition, we will work on development of practical skills and strategies that can bolster your tool belt.

Everybody struggles at times in their lives. It is ok not to be ok. Whatever journey you are on may need assistance from friends, colleagues, and/or professionals. Minor course corrections can have a significant impact. I look forward to meeting with you. Please feel free to schedule an appointment.
