Anxiety, Depression, and Relationship Issues

Great to meet you!

As a psychologist, I help people find their way. Most people seek psychotherapy from me to guide them through anxiety, depression, relationship problems, self-improvement and sexual issues. I keep a small private practice and work with adults providing individual therapy for mild to moderate concerns. Please visit my website www.drmatthewsmith.org if you would like more details, send me an email, or book an initial free phone consultation via Headway.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe the most helpful psychotherapy includes a genuine human connection balanced with the artful science of research-proven psychology. Since I am certified and trained in several "best practice" therapies, it is likely we can find an approach that can help you feel better and move closer to your goals.

What you can expect from our first session

After your initial assessment appointment(s), we will discuss potential approaches and collaborate on which one will work best for you. I have a particular interest in helping people integrate the seemingly contradictory parts of themselves in a non-judgmental way. That may include finding helpful perspective on your relationships, family, work, spirituality, sexuality, diversity, and culture. I look forward to hearing from you and wish you good mental health.
