Therapists in Eagle, ID

I understand that life happens and that during these difficult times a bit of reflection, guidance and contemplation may be needed to direct us towards the path that allows us to become the best and most authentic version of ourselves. My services are inclusive meaning I work with everyone and exclude nobody. Those who feel they cannot be themselves due to judgements or expectations of others are offered an empathic and understanding environment to explore what they really want to be and or achieve in life. I meet you where you are in this very moment and YOU decide the direction of your path.

If you are seeking a neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ affirming autism and/or ADHD assessment with an AuDHD therapist who specializes in recognizing/diagnosing adults who have been overlooked and/or misdiagnosed, such as: those who were assigned female at birth (AFAB), transgender/nonbinary/GNC people, high masking individuals, BIPOC individuals, and women...then you have absolutely arrived at the right place, and I am so glad you are here!

“THAT WHICH WE NEED THE MOST WILL BE FOUND WHERE WE LEAST WANT TO LOOK.” Carl Jung... Perhaps you are suffering with something that's been attached to you since childhood or you are battling a current problem in one of the many units of your life (financial, physical, spiritual, relational etc). Perhaps you're not sure what's wrong, but things just don't seem quite right, perhaps I can help.

WELCOME! I feel so inspired meeting clients who are ready for change, or perhaps feeling hopeless and need support. Taking steps toward change can be both exciting and scary, and I love to help guide others to a soft landing. My clients often seek peace, motivation and hope and learn to reconnect with and trust their core selves.

I believe you are here because you want a change, and change can be difficult. I believe change is hard because through life we have learned to avoid difficult emotions, thoughts, and situations. Avoidance can come in many forms including distractions, substance use, and opting out of what is important to you. While the avoidance helps in the immediate, it can lead us away from those things that mean the most to us which can leave us feeling stuck and defeated. As an ACT therapist, my goal is to give you the abilities to be with your difficult experiences, while you engage in actions and behaviors that move you towards your values.

You blew up at your partner again last night! You promised yourself you wouldn't let your anger take over AGAIN, it did. Feelings of guilt and shame fill your body as you see your partner turn away from you. After countless conversations with them you set intentions to make yourself STOP Yesterday, you felt the tension and anger rising; you even thought "push it down". The extra puff and drink after work, the remedy to ease it away, didn't work. This pattern is disturbing, but not as disturbing as the anxiety and depression you try to keep at bay. You know life would be better if you haven't found a way to do that.

Do you struggle with compulsive behaviors or sexual addictions? Is it difficult finding motivation to complete tasks or accomplish goals? Are you often anxious or stressed while trying to balance responsibilities? Do you experience symptoms of depression which create barriers to a fulfilling life? Many of us struggle with feeling stuck, finding motivation and maintaining momentum. Managing problematic sexual behaviors, sexual addictions, stress, anxiety and depression can be tiring and overwhelming. These are some of the many challenges I can help you navigate as an LMSW and CSAT Candidate.

Helping you find effective ways to tackle distressing thoughts, disruptive emotions, and problematic behaviors is a primary focus of my practice. I have been privileged to work with a diverse clientele addressing issues that range from mild stress and anxiety to severe and persistent mental illness. If you are ready to embark on the challenging, exciting, sometimes painful, and often transformative journey of personal therapy, I would be honored to take that journey with you.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious? Do you need better tools for communicating and connecting to people you love? Do you need support, education, or hope in creating sexual wholeness? I can teach you tools to feel good about who you are, feel comfortable in your body, live your desired sexual story, and connect to your authentic spirituality. I also work with couples to nurture good communication and emotional connection.

My name is Matt and I love helping people change. I see my role as a therapist to be a partner walking along side you, assisting you towards the path you wish to take. In each session I will listen with great purpose and without judgment to understand all that you are. I have experienced many milestones, changed careers, and through my background in athletics and schooling have acquired skills to tackle different situations.

Is your life filled with trauma and despair? Are you anxious, depressed, fearful, grief stricken, or overwhelmed ? Are you looking for answers? What if I were to tell you that you already hold the keys. YOU have the answers within your SELF. Each one of us does. We all possess, at our very core, a centered SELF filled with courage, compassion, curiosity, and other positive qualities. When we allow this SELF to lead, it has the ability to heal our wounds and create a harmonious, balanced state of wholeness. It is my goal as a therapist to walk with my clients as they journey forward towards SELF discovery.

The effectiveness of counseling boils down to the relationship between the client and counselor, which to me, is the most important aspect of the entire process. I strive to provide a comfortable, open, and safe environment which hopefully leads to a feeling of security where we can be honest and transparent. Finding meaning and purpose in life at times is difficult, my hope and vision is to foster a relationship where it becomes somewhat natural to discuss the obstacles in the way of attainting your true meaning in life. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who strive to become the best version of themselves.

I work with individuals 18 years and older who have experienced trauma. We all have experienced trauma and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Trauma is not the event or events that happened to a person. Trauma is the impact that those events had on the individual. The impact of those events can cause a myriad of issues that affect the person in their daily lives. While we cannot do anything about what happened in the past, we can work on how it impacts you now.
