With this perspective, Matt makes it a priority to address multiple facets of a client’s life including mental, relational, physical, and spiritual health. His work includes a wide variety of service modalities for individual adults, and adolescents. Matt’s concern for cyclical problems that plague family life guides his work with families and couples. In his work to treat his clients’ wide range of health needs, Matt implements several different treatment strategies and approaches as they are needed.
