Matthew Pierson, LPC, CAADC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! All of us experience life differently, and finding the right therapist can be challenging. Every relationship is different, and I prioritize healthy therapeutic relationships with all clients.
Hope and self-acceptance are important. We can discover hope and achieve self-acceptance by promoting resiliency, implementing assertive communication, and improving confidence. My 10+ years of experience is culminated by using approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. These interventions have helped individuals enduring challenges with depression, anxiety, addiction, impulse control, intrusive thoughts, and forming relationships.
So, what does a better life look like? Is it learning a new outlook? Are you looking for new strategies to help you navigate? Could your own confidence and self-esteem use some improvement? Allow me to help. Let's explore the barriers holding you back!
