Male Therapists in Beverly, MA

Hello and welcome. My name is Matt Stella, and my goal is to reconnect you to the wisdom and depth in your life that make all problems workable. In fact, the worst symptoms and problems that we wrestle with often hold the seed for growth and transformation. Working with adults, couples, and men's groups, my life’s work is to facilitate transformation out of all forms of suffering. Part of my work is to serve male survivors of sexual abuse or assault. (See MenHealing.org) When needed, I use EMDR to address and heal the effects of trauma, abuse and neglect for adults of all genders.

Castle Hill Counseling & Consulting, Inc. (CHCC) was founded in December of 2015. While drawing from my undergraduate education at Boston College, subsequent graduate program at Simmons College, and 20+ years of experience in the mental health and education field, I founded CHCC with the vision to deliver the highest quality service to children in the home, school environments, and to the larger systems supporting families through professional development, specialized trainings, and consultation. We have developed speciality areas of practice; including school refusal and avoidance, trauma, and educational program development.

**** Alert: I am currently full and not accepting new clients. **** I work primarily with adults who are struggling with emotional or relational issues. Intellectual understanding of a problem may not be enough to produce change. I try to listen deeply and help people integrate their strengths, values, and emotions in new ways. Many of my clients feel stuck or defeated in certain areas despite doing well in other domains of life.

I've treated children, adolescents and adults with a range of emotional and relationship difficulties for over 25 years. My work with children and adolescents focuses on resolving anxiety and depressive disorders, learning disabilities, school problems, relationship issues and trauma histories. I also treat child and adult clients with medical or disabling conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and physical disabilities.

Thank you for taking the time today to review my profile. Beginning the process of psychotherapy can feel like a daunting one. Your ability to feel comfortable and at ease with a therapist can only help you to address difficult or painful parts of your life. My patients tell me that they often feel safe and "at home" when they are working with me. I enjoy working with folks who have been suffering from depression, trauma, loss, and substance abuse. Please feel free to call me to talk about scheduling an appointment.

My primary goal for psychotherapy places an emphasis on developing a strong, empathic, and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients, as I believe this is essential in facilitating the process of change. Through working with my clients to explore sources of emotional conflict, effective strategies to cope with life's various stressors are developed, thereby enhancing personal growth. Whether it is coping with life transitions, sources of anxiety or depression, relationship issues, or health concerns, I strive to help my clients overcome the obstacles that have impeded upon achieving their life goals.

Like all of us, you need to perform in the daily arenas of your life — work, relationships, health, personal growth. I’m here to help you succeed. Creating a strong therapeutic relationship with each other will serve as the foundation for everything else we'll do. My aim will be to get to know you as a unique person with your own story and vision, help you identify the changes you're ready to make, and guide and support you in making them so you can take on the challenges before you and achieve the outcomes you desire.

In meeting with folks for therapeutic conversations, I value being present, curious, and caring. I take a de-centered and non-expert stance, creating space for you to develop a sense of agency and support as you face the problems and struggles of life. My hope is to help you feel not-so-alone with problems in life and to give you a space to develop clarity about what is important to you, about what your hopes and values are, and about what steps you would like to take that support your preferred ways of living.

Everyone deserves to experience joy & fulfillment in life & relationships, including you! At the foundation of my approach is a strong connection between two people that is based on mutual safety, trust, & genuine care. Within this relationship, I am my authentic self by bringing my warmth, dedication, & quirky personality that often puts folks at ease & enables them to more compassionately understand their true selves, strengths & imperfections in all. Through this process of self-exploration, people I work with learn to more honestly attend to & express their emotions, which leads to greater self-acceptance & consequently freedom from self-doubt & low self-esteem.

My goal is to help people who are struggling make positive changes in their lives. We create authentic relationships, understand your school and family systems, work to motivate you to overcome challenges, help you develop new skills, behaviors, and practices, and support you in developing confidence in maintaining changes.

Do you feel like you've lost your way? Maybe your use of substances or engagement in acting out behaviors has taken you so far from your values you don't know what they are anymore. Perhaps you've experienced a recent life change, and the future seems so uncertain you don't know who you are anymore. I combine a science-based therapeutic approach with a deep love of philosophy to help you work towards a fuller understanding of yourself and your world. Together, we'll use that robust understanding of yourself & your world to identify the gap between the life you have and the life you want and develop tools and goals to close that gap.

I offer expertise for those seeking relief and ways to cope with difficult relationships & life circumstances challenged by symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma & PTSD, and addiction. Research is showing that many are mis-diagnosed with various disorders when the core issues reside in untreated PTSD symptoms. As a Licensed Addiction Counselor I educate those seeking substance abuse treatment and support. I specialize in couples counseling. I'm a trauma informed psychotherapist. My training focuses on improving our self-concept to free us from faulty beliefs & unhealthy behaviors learned as a child or as a result of trauma.
