Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a therapist with 29 years of experience. I believe therapy can make a real difference when clients commit to the process. It isn’t easy, but I’ve seen it help people face challenges, heal, and grow into their best selves. If you're struggling with coping, outlook, motivation, attitude, and focus, we may be a good fit. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and adjustment to major life changes related to career, relationships, family, or loss. I also specialize in working with clients diagnosed with chronic or life-limiting illnesses. I look forward to working with you and walking beside you on this journey.

Matthew Tapia

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Matthew “Matt” Tapia, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) offering online therapy in Arizona and California. I specialize in neurodivergent-affirming care for autistic people and people with ADHD. I also help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship concerns, and caregiver stress.


If daily demands leave you overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure where to begin, we can start with what matters most to you. My style is warm, practical, and collaborative, with room to explore your experiences and develop skills you can use in everyday life.


I work with children, teens, adults, and families. I hold a Master of Arts from Santa Clara University and am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). My background in family therapy and behavioral science helps me understand how emotions, relationships, daily routines, and your environment influence one another.


Together, we can work on managing strong emotions, communicating your needs, strengthening relationships, and creating routines that fit your life. Therapy respects your communication preferences, sensory needs, strengths, and personal goals.


All sessions take place through secure telehealth. I accept insurance through Headway, where you can check your coverage and view available appointments.
