Matthew Darst

Matthew Darst

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm Matt Darst, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained at the University of Southern California, with advanced training in military and veteran clinical social work. I work with adults who are motivated to change but feel stuck — navigating trauma, addiction, mood disorders, OCD, grief, or the kind of cumulative pressure that quietly builds until something gives.

My clients tend to be high-functioning people who look fine from the outside but are carrying more than they let on. That includes professionals managing stress and burnout, veterans and first responders, and anyone who's ready to do honest, purposeful work — regardless of background or title.

I bring a direct, warm style grounded in kind accountability. I'm not here to tell you what you want to hear. I'm here to help you move.

Dr. Tierra Patterson

Therapist

Virtual • California


You may be the one everyone relies on, the strong one who keeps moving forward even when things feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to carry everything on your own.

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear to have it all together on the outside but feel exhausted, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Therapy can be a place where you finally slow down, reflect, and focus on your own needs.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Modesto

Finding the right therapist in Modesto starts with getting clear on the type of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and psychologists. On Headway, you can read detailed provider bios to learn about each therapist's approach, specialties, and background before you book.

Modesto is part of California's Central Valley, where in-person therapy options can be more limited than in larger metro areas like Sacramento or the Bay Area. Virtual sessions expand your choices significantly, giving you access to California-licensed providers who may be based outside Stanislaus County. If in-person care matters to you, look for providers with offices in or near Modesto, including surrounding communities like Turlock, Ceres, and Salida.

Therapy in California can be expensive without insurance. A single session may cost several hundred dollars out of pocket. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Confirming your coverage upfront helps you focus on finding the right provider rather than worrying about cost.
