Christian Therapists in Walla, WA

I am board certified in counseling, especially enjoy working with men and women misunderstandings, and their worries. I assist clients explore their life experiences, to notice how they have shaped/affected their responses to life challenges today. The therapy that I apply heals without re-traumatizing, and successfully helps clients overcome depression, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, DID, or PTSD, including adult survivors of ACEs. After therapy, people find themselves spontaneously reacting to current stressors in more age-appropriate ways, utilizing their God-given inner strengths and core qualities such as self-assurance, calmness, clearness, audacity, creativity, compassion, and connectedness.

I enjoy serving people from all walks of life and have worked in several diverse location. I envision therapeutic work in three tiers, depending clients' needs and preferences. Some people wish to deal with specific issues and "get back on the road" right away. Others wish to solve deeper issues such as depression or anxiety. And still others want to uncover the roots of their concerns and work toward healing on the deepest possible level. I am comfortable at each of these levels but am especially suited to the deeper level work.

Feeling lost, hurt, emotionally drained and afraid, let me help. I know that asking for help is so very hard especially when at times it feels as if no one could possibly understand and you're alone in pain but I am here to help. I have been helping for almost 20 years and I am honored when I get to be a part of your life. If you allow me, I will go with you through your difficult journey to find that peace, relief and sense of purpose you so desperately seek. I am a Christian and use the same teachings and beliefs that Jesus led and talked about that taught acceptance, love, compassion, forgiveness and peace.

Making the choice to seek help in overcoming hardships in your life can be one of the scariest and one of the most rewarding actions a person can take in their life. If you find yourself here, you may be considering a journey towards long-lasting and significant change. In each stage of life, there are unique challenges that can impact your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health. Lack of support, encouragement, or sense of community make these challenges unbearable. My role is to utilize my training to provide unconditional positive regard and safety when overcoming barriers and discovering effective solutions, together.

Hi, I'm Matt. In looking for a therapist, you've taken an important step toward healing and self-discovery. My style tends to be compassionate, strength-based, and experiential. Sessions are available for those experiencing challenges related to anxiety, depression, life transition, trauma, family and relationship stress, identity development, and grief and loss. I offer couples counseling for enhancing partner support, reestablishing emotional and physical bonds, and improving communication.

If you expect the world to conform to you, you may also expect a lifetime of bitter resentment. No problem is an impairment until you allow yourself to take up the cry of "I Cannot, I Cannot, I Cannot." Some therapists will "support" you in this cry and hold your hand as you walk into hell. I will help turn your heart towards "I Can, I Will, I Am."
