About me
Welcome!
My name is Matt Poje, LPC. I specialize in the healing of emotional trauma, using the Instinctual Trauma Response method (ITR),I have 15 years working with Veterans via Department of Defense contracts, and over 23 yrs of professional work experience. I am licensed in CA, WI and NV.
The ITR method uses over 100 years of neuroscience to help heal the brain. Since ITR uses neuroscience, you will learn the steps of the ITR method that will help you to become more resilient.
ITR is not talk therapy in the classical sense. ITR is a focused, purposeful method of trauma healing. ITR is proven to work. If you are ready to work on a proven method of reducing symptoms of trauma, I look forward to work with you.

Matthew gave me the opportunity to get comfortable messaging him before I scheduled a video call. The first video call I have to say I made the biggest difference and impact on my life because for the first time I felt like I could breathe I can’t wait for the rest.

Appreciate he is able to explain the neurological functions that correspond to the symptomatology.
