Matthew Paulus

I am a seasoned mental health professional with extensive experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My clinical background includes working with diverse populations facing chronic and severe mental health challenges, such as PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related disorders.

I specialize in anger management, where I facilitate both courses and therapeutic groups. My expertise also includes treating depression and anxiety, as well as providing trauma-informed care. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and utilize evidence-based modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy—to help clients navigate life stressors.

Currently, I offer interventions for non-court-ordered anger management, conflict resolution, and relationship issues.

I work effectively with individuals motivated to address aggression and conflict. I also specialize in treating underlying trauma through EMDR therapy. Additionally, I enjoy supporting young adults navigating significant life transitions, such as starting college, managing career paths, or going through a divorce.

I often utilize an integrative approach that incorporates elements of CBT, DBT, solution-focused and motivation-focused techniques, trauma-informed CBT, and EMDR. I am committed to providing my clients with a well-structured framework that offers clear direction, various options, and the freedom of choice.
