Hello and thanks for being here!
Even though you might realize how important your mental health is, getting help isn't always easy or comfortable. In my years as a counselor I've come to realize that healing begins with being seen and heard. I would like to meet you where you are and help you move forward on your wellness journey.
Welcome! I am Matt and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist in my 50s, married with college age kids and I've spent the better part of 30 years working with people that have found themselves facing challenges in life: Whether that be individuals facing difficult life situations, families under pressure, schools in crisis, and youth struggling to find themselves. What I've learned is that every person carries real strength, even when it doesn't feel that way. I work from a holistic view, not just what's going on in your head, but how you relate to the people and world around you. Change is possible, I would be honored to be part of yours.
You don't have to have everything figured out to begin healing. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to build a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and aligned with your values. I believe healing happens through a collaborative relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, integrating evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), polyvagal-informed interventions (PVT), mindfulness-based strategies, and Motivational Interviewing to meet each client's unique needs.
I earned my Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John's University in New York City.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Myrtle Beach, SC
Searching for therapists in Myrtle Beach starts with knowing what kind of support and fit matter to you. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. A profile that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience with specific populations can help you decide who may be a strong match.
Myrtle Beach has therapy options across the city and nearby areas like Socastee and Briarcliffe, though local appointment supply may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want more flexibility or prefer to meet with a South Carolina-licensed therapist from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can also show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Myrtle Beach 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, take your plan, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists in Myrtle Beach, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
