I have been a therapist since 2008. I have experience working with child and adolescent mental health, families and trauma. I am trained in several modalities including child parent relational therapy, play therapy, CBT, TF- CBT and person-centered therapy. I also work with adults with an emphasis on managing stress and supporting clients in reaching their best version of themselves. I believe in the power of empathy and resilience to foster positive change.
I believe that healthy relationships are at the heart of emotional well-being and personal growth. Seeking support takes courage, and I am honored to partner with clients as they navigate life's challenges and strengthen their connections with themselves and others.
As a counselor educator, researcher, and relationship specialist, my work focuses on helping individuals and couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships, improve communication, and create lasting positive change. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices that support healing, resilience, and relational wellness.
Welcome! My style is warm and eclectic. I draw from a variety of evidenced-based models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to address your concerns and distressing symptoms. I am also a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and I enjoy integrating aspects of yoga, including mindfulness and a mind/body approach into therapy where appropriate.
I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Fayetteville
Searching for postpartum therapists in Fayetteville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. A pregnancy therapist, prenatal therapist, or therapist for new moms may also list maternal mental health therapy or perinatal mental health as a focus area. As you compare options, look for experience with postpartum and prenatal concerns, and consider whether a therapist lists specialized training such as the perinatal mental health certification, also known as PMH-C.
In a mid-sized city like Fayetteville, your search may include therapists with local offices, virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can make it easier to find a postpartum therapist who fits your schedule, especially when infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines affect when you can meet. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with prenatal and postpartum concerns.
Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who focus on postpartum care, review profiles, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. From there, you can compare therapists, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
