Hi, I’m Matty
I’m a counselor in Boulder, Colorado specializing in therapy for teenagers and young adults. I believe that everyone has the power to shape their life story, find hope and purpose, and navigate the unique challenges they face. My approach to therapy combines two evidence-based approaches, Narrative Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help my clients overcome adversities and build resilience.
I believe that therapy should be a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, validated, and respected. My goal is to create a non-judgmental and compassionate environment where clients can explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors without fear of criticism or shame.
“From the very beginning, Matty made my son feel comfortable and safe. They have a remarkable ability to connect with teens on a deep level, and it’s evident that they genuinely care about their well-being.”
Testimonials

A little more about me
As a therapist who specializes in working with teenagers, I understand how important it is for parents to have confidence in the person they entrust with their child's mental health. Adolescence is a challenging time for both teens and parents, and it can be difficult to navigate the emotional and behavioral changes that come with this stage of life. That's why I take a collaborative approach to counseling, working closely with both parents and teens to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and concerns.
I have extensive experience working with teenagers from a variety of backgrounds and with a range of mental health concerns. My therapeutic approach is rooted in narrative and DBT techniques. However, I also recognize that every teenager is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs of each individual client.
I believe that therapy should be a safe and supportive space where teenagers feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them develop coping skills, build resilience, and foster healthy relationships with themselves and others. I also provide support and guidance to parents as they navigate the challenges of raising a teenager, and I am committed to creating a positive and collaborative therapeutic environment for everyone involved.
