i've got initials behind my name, lots of training, and decades of professional experience working with people. i approach therapy as a sacred personal experience where i'm human first and therapist second. in our journey, i see you as the expert in your life - not me. my role is helping you uncover and heal from the root and repercussions of life experiences, to live with ease. clients let me into the depths of their mind, heart, and spirit. i also let you into mine, from time to time, as therapeutically appropriate. i thrive facilitating a unique and comfortable environment where you can quickly feel safe bringing up any topic and working through your distress. i work from a person-centered, relational, and humantistic perspective while creatively weaving together evidence-based psychological practices. my approach includes cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, eye movement desensitization & reprocessing therapy (EMDR). i also blend in humor, wit, and when advantageous a direct approach. learn more about me: https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/992619 and https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-trietsch/
