Matt Renoux

​On the outside, you have it all together. Inside, you’re running on empty—caught in an exhausting loop of over-functioning for everyone else while fighting sudden reactive blowups, perfectionism, and chronic anxiety. You’ve mastered emotional suppression to survive, but it is now costing you your peace and your relationships.

​Hi, I’m Matt. I created Grounded Counseling to help high-achieving, analytical adults break past surface-level coping and gain true agency over their lives. My background spans over a decade in community mental health, PHP lead therapy, and dual-diagnosis crisis settings. That deep clinical foundation taught me how to look past symptoms to map the underlying patterns driving them.

​Together, we look underneath the surface—exploring how the desperate need for control often creates the exact chaos you're trying to prevent. My practice is built on a simple principle: once you see the pattern, you have the option to break it. I make it seamless to utilize your insurance benefits via Headway so you can focus entirely on your growth.

​I work with analytical adults suffering from burnout, anger loops, chronic stress, and the painful paradox of trying to fix yourself while feeling like the one who's broken.

​My approach blends structured, evidence-based clinical frameworks—Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—with perception-based mindfulness work.

We explore how your internal scripts and perception shape the territory you actually live in. Rather than handing you generic coping checklists, I help you notice the game you're playing, align with your true values, and make insight land in your actual daily choices.

Clients can expect to be deeply seen and understood—not as a collection of diagnostic labels, but as a whole person navigating complex patterns.

​In our initial session, we will unpack the immediate stressors and reactive loops keeping you stuck on autopilot. We’ll look at your current challenges with a fresh, non-judgmental perspective and map out a clear, actionable framework for our work together. You will walk away from day one with immediate clarity, feeling grounded, and possessing a realistic path to move from burnout and emotional stagnation into real freedom.
