Hello, my name is Matthew Fava, Psy.D, LMFT , license 47392. My approach to therapy is helping improve the client's ability to both establish, maintain, and improve relationships. Helping the client develop and utilize positive coping skills that best fit their lifestyle. Helping promote the decision-making process while facilitating client potential.

For the past 27 years I have been working with clients that struggle with Depression, Anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Feeling depressed? Anxious? Dissatisfied in your relationship? This is a natural part of the human experience - but - you don't have to feel this way forever! I'm so glad you're here - exploring therapy as a potential support. I am here to help you explore, embrace, heal, and problem solve, in a warm & personable way.

Children are uniquely wonderful...and also complex and confusing! It’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times as a parent. You’re constantly trying to figure out why your child is behaving the way they are...and what on earth to do about it. What worked last week is definitely not working today. What worked for a friend hasn’t worked for you with your child. You’re absolutely devoted to your little one and want to help them...but you don’t know what to do or where to turn. You wish you could discover the secret to unravel this mystery. Will things always be this hard for you and the child you love so much?

Accepting new clients! Finding a therapist who is both transparent and understanding can be challenging. My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based treatment methods, designed to help you overcome a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, social anxiety, major life changes, and trauma.

Life can be difficult to navigate alone or even as a couple. Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Being stuck in a negative cycle and letting go of the past can seem paralyzing. At times we all need help to get there. As an attachment-based trauma individual and couples' therapist, I can help you to develop a healthy relationship with yourself or with your partner. We all need a safe space without judgment to be transparent, feel heard and gain tools to thrive. Therapy is that place. Reclaim your peace and be whole again. Take the next step. I am here to listen and support you on your journey to healing.

The core of my work is to help people operate from the best in themselves as an individual and in relationship with others. My work helps individuals develop a state of balance by increasing ones true, solid sense of self and the ability to take care of self while working through difficulties that life throws at you. Key tools in accomplishing this is by helping individuals self confront and self validate and stay true to ones' integrity.

I specialize in healing complex trauma/PTSD, childhood abuse, attachment, complex grief, anxiety & Dissociative Identity Disorder.
