I feel very honored for the opportunity to care for others. I understand that mental and physical health are connected and are shaped by our past. I believe that psychiatric treatment works.
I believe that humans should ideally be unfolding and growing throughout their lifetime. This means embracing change, especially when life gets difficult and we feel stuck, dissatisfied, or overwhelmed. Change is a journey with ups and downs. Personally, I believe we all struggle with challenges at different times in our life and it's the courageous who seek help.
Hi, I'm Matthew, your individual and couples therapist, specializing in relationships. I'm a licensed counselor, trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, and deeply curious about people. I find that when we have space, we can learn to be fully alive. Therapy can be that space for you. If you are ready to be curious about yourself, why you do things, and create a life you love, please reach out.
I bring over 20 years of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, public health, and higher education leadership into my work with clients. My approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which allows me to meet you not just as a professional—but as a whole person who understands complexity, transition, and healing on multiple levels.
My work centers on helping individuals reconnect with who they are at their core—beyond survival, expectations, or systems that may have shaped them. I integrate emotional wellness, identity exploration, and purpose-driven growth into our work together.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions around identity and purpose, I create a space where you can show up fully and begin the process of realignment and healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fayetteville
Searching for addiction therapists in Fayetteville starts with finding care that matches the type of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you review therapists, look for experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care when a prescriber is part of your care team.
Fayetteville has a range of local therapists, but the right fit may depend on schedule, appointment format, and the therapist’s experience with your specific concerns. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still letting you stay connected to care from home. As you compare therapists, check whether they are accepting new patients, offer scheduling that fits your week, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you see how a therapist describes their approach, including whether they use a nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed framework.
Addiction therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
