I’m Matt Larock and I’m a licensed clinical therapist and a licensed clinical addiction counselor in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing trauma treatment and I’m also a certified nature-based coach. In a former life, I owned a 300-seat restaurant for 14 years. I’m no stranger to stress and addiction.

I help my clients navigate the challenges that have had them stuck for just a few months or stuck for over a few decades.

I work with men, women, teens, young adults and parents who want to stop white knuckling their way through life’s difficulties and get the tools to make changes that stick for the long haul.

I help men and women of all ages who have challenges with substance abuse, I help parents of struggling teens and young adults who are navigating how to help their child eventually become a thriving adult. I help young adults heal their past, take responsibility for their future and move forward in a healthy way. And I help all kinds of clients of all ages heal anxiety, trauma, stress and other difficulties.

It’s exhausting to keep trying the old way on the same issues. It’s exhausting to keep spinning your wheels. It’s exhausting to be mired in anxiety and it’s exhausting to let trauma go untreated for years and years.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals of all ages achieve emotional and psychological well-being. I work from a child-centered and person-centered approach and use techniques such as art, storytelling, sandtray, and imaginative play. These techniques help address issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, relationship issues and behavioral problems.

I believe in a holistic focused approach to therapy. I incorporate mind, body and spirit to achieve a regulated emotional state and balance in one's life. I believe that client's are the experts in their own life and I have a variety of therapeutic techniques in my toolbox to accommodate each individual to find their unique healing path.

I specialize in emotional support for teenagers, young adults and adults who are struggling with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I support clients in developing a clear identity and understanding of their personal story, purpose and self-worth. I specialize in women in pregnancy, postpartum, and post termination.

If you are looking for support I would love to hear from you.

Life is messy, and it can feel overwhelming when we can't control the world around us. Often we turn to food, alcohol, drugs, and other unhelpful behaviors to escape the messiness; yet the shit keeps piling up and the cycle continues. Sound relatable?

My specialty is working with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, substance abuse, and trauma with a special interest in working with healthcare providers affected by working on the front lines of COVID-19.

Collaboratively, we will work to identify what's keeping you stuck, and help you move towards living a life that's aligned with YOUR values.

I'm a psychodynamic therapist which means I'm going to challenge you to dig deep and talk about the hard stuff. I know this is a vulnerable thing to ask; many of my clients say my realness helps them be real too. I listen actively, offering practical solutions and techniques to help us better cope with challenges, all punctuated with a sense of humor.

I love what I do. The therapeutic relationship is sacred to me, and is founded in trust, respect, and empathy. My office is a judgment-free zone; I believe our flaws make us human and should be embraced, not shamed. If you are looking for an authentic human to help you get off of the hamster wheel, give me a call for a free phone consultation.

I believe that given the safety, support, and tools, we all have an innate capacity to heal and live full lives. I work with clients healing from experiences of trauma, abuse, and loss, as well as those managing burnout, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in treating trauma-related disorders, including those developed following sexual and intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, and traumatic loss.

I am a Master's level Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about supporting you in your journey toward wholeness. I have worked with clients from children to older adults, supporting them around anxiety and mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. My clients come from diverse cultures. I enjoy finding what we have in common as well as what makes us each unique. While acknowledging your struggles, I want to help you move toward your strengths in your own context.
