Introduction

Hi, my name is Matt Samuels, and I believe that no matter what challenges you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. At Elevate Counseling Services, my approach to therapy is simple — YOU are the focus. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety/depression, relationship issues, trauma, or something else, I’m here to collaborate with you on your journey to healing and growth. I see my role not only as a therapist but also as a compassionate listener who motivates and challenges you to live with meaning and purpose. As a Christian, my faith enables me to have a positive outlook through all the highs and lows, and as a husband with two adult children, I too have to navigate the complexities that come with being part of a family. Whether you have spiritual beliefs that you follow or not, my goal is to help you overcome any obstacles, heal from past wounds, and rise to a place of inner peace and personal strength. At Elevate, your voice matters. Together, we will explore and create actionable steps toward the life you deserve. It’s your time to rise, heal, and Elevate.
