Matt is quite astute and his breadth of knowledge is much appreciated. I was hesitant at first to try Telehealth but I am very glad to have given this a shot. Kudos Matt

Matthew is extremely patient and has significant expertise in many subjects. Very down to earth. If you are struggling and want to make changes for the better, he is a great mentor and source of help to have.

Matt is both a good listener and a good teacher. He has shown me practical techniques for dealing with my challenges, techniques I would never have found on my own. Matt has also been very helpful with finding a schedule for our sessions that suits my calendar. I have noticed significant improvements while working with Matt.
