Getting to know Autumn Matthews

My name is Autumn Matthews, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#139549). I hold a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Phoenix. I have 10 years of experience as a Social Worker with nonprofit foster care and adoption agencies. Additionally, I have worked for over 6 years with children and families in school sites and nonprofit clinic settings as a Clinician, Supervisor, and Parent Partner. I work best with people who are open to exploring different perspectives and trying new, sometimes "outside of the box," approaches, grounded in the belief that everyone has the potential for change and to create a better life. My approach I don’t usually identify with a single theoretical orientation; instead, I draw from several. A key focus for me is that the client is in charge, has the potential for growth, and can embrace new ways of thinking when given the opportunity. I align with person-centered and client-centered approaches and strive to incorporate a trauma-informed perspective in my work. My focus I have worked with clients ranging in age from 3 to 70, addressing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma history, life challenges, and everyday struggles. I am an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and welcome working with clients from all backgrounds. My communication style I am typically relaxed and informal, often using humor, sarcasm, and positive tones. Clients have described my tone as soft and kind, yet I am always willing to share a laugh. My journey to mental healthcare My interest began in high school when I took a psychology class as a senior. Since then, I have been fascinated by people and their lives, inspired by their adaptability and capacity for change. My goals for you I encourage clients to set both short-term and long-term goals, understanding that these goals can evolve as you progress through the process.
