Matt Sims
Thanks for finding my page! I'm admired by your courage to take this next step. I typically work with young adults and college students experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, questioning where their life is headed, etc. Whatever it is, I'm here for you.
While my approach depends greatly on what's going on in your world, I typically utilize aspects of CBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic theory in my work. I am also an MSPE (Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement) trained instructor and enjoy working with athletes. I'm currently being trained in EMDR by the Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy, and trained in DBT as well.
Outside of my work as a psychotherapist, I work as an adjunct professor at George Mason University in their School of Social Work, and previously coached soccer for seven years. Please feel free to reach out for a free phone consultation - I look forward to working with you!
