Matthew Teal
My approach is very down-to -earth and professional. I believe in the importance of humor and self compassion in our time together. Being transparent in therapy is crucial; meaning I will share with you why I am asking about certain things or suggesting certain ways of coping.
Often times clients have had the same conversation with themselves and loved ones over and over again. I love finding a way to have a different conversation about what is happening in that person's life or in their relationship with alcohol or drugs.
I have 22 years of experience in the mental health field working with people's symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression. Much of that time has been specializing in working with college students and people looking to go into helping professions (e.g. nurses, therapists, doctors)
