I have experience working through major life changes with adults, and with young adults who are coming-of age.
I enjoy helping individuals learn more about themselves and finding balance in the different areas of their lives through creative therapy and talk therapy. I specialize in substance use disorders, communication skills, and emotional regulation. I believe in the indivisible connection between the body and the mind, focusing on how our mental health affects our bodies and how our physical health affects our minds. I connect with clients using a person-centered approach, but I value the structure of behavioral techniques and the benefits of motivational interviewing to help promote change.
True Belonging Group is a 6 week group for adults who desire meaningful connection, have dealt with loneliness, want to build confidence in social situations, and are interested in deepening their relationship with themselves. Group will include themes from Brené Brown’s Book “Braving the Wilderness.” Learn More at www.greendoortherapy.com/groups
I especially enjoy working with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, body dysmorphia, existential concerns, life transitions, and trauma related stressors.
I believe that life is a beautifully challenging and unpredictable experience. The ebbs and flows of life are what makes us human. When we are caught in the lows of life, we often feel this lack of control, we feel stuck, or we feel this inability to find the ‘right answer.’ I would like to show you that you have the answers within, you have the tools within, and we will work together as a team to regain a sense of direction in your life. Therapy is a vulnerable experience; therefore, I intentionally create an atmosphere that feels safe, allows your stories to be heard, and empowers you to be your authentic self.
Feel stuck? Let me help you move forward, fully unleash your creativity, passion and joy in this powerful, 12 week life-changing course, based on The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. It's not just for artists. You don't need to have "artistic" inclination, experience, or ability to be transformed by this course. You need only motivation, willingness to do the work and commitment to the process. In this class you will get support, accountability, momentum, habit forming behaviors, and a good push toward doing that thing you haven't been doing. And it's so much fun!!

Matthew works with adolescents and adults.
Matthew Cramer treats people struggling with: addictive use of substances or behaviors, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, job stress and the lasting impact of trauma. If you're considering therapy but aren't sure, then you've come to the right place. Most people who see Matthew have little to no experience with therapists or therapy. Many are uncomfortable asking for help, believing it is a sign of "weakness." Others come from families where "staying strong," and keeping "personal business" in the family was the norm. Whatever the story, they are able to open up to him.
This is an online training group for therapists interested in group dynamics includes discussion of cases and other professional issues, as well as experiential learning based on the psychodynamic processes that occur within the group. A group practice is not required to join. Please contact me for more information.
Among my interests are emerging adults; life transitions; parenting, divorce and blended families; experience of 1st generation Americans; mood disorders; trauma; and self-injury.
My goal is to help clients feel less alone in their struggles and more understood, as they work on what they wish to change in their lives and relationships. I believe that what has happened in our past shapes who we are today, and I help the people I work with explore the influence of the past in order to create a more fulfilling present. Within the therapeutic relationship, clients can practice and integrate more balanced ways to express themselves and connect with others. I integrate ideas and practices from relational psychodynamic, interpersonal, and modern psychoanalytic orientations.
Stress is an unavoidable aspect of life that can have a negative impact on one's physical and mental health if not managed. Gaining Insight for Trying Times (G.I.F.T.) is an eight week support group that helps members learn how to identify stress triggers, its negative effects, and acquire coping tools for effective stress management. A focus on mind-body approaches are taught in order to relieve pain, manage anxiety, cope with illness, increase productivity, and improve overall sense of well-being.
