Getting to know Dr. Eli (Matthew) Van Dusen

You may be carrying more than you let on—struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, or the weight of a difficult past. You want clarity, stability, and a way forward that actually holds up outside the therapy room. I strive to help those that are motivated for change but unsure how to break patterns that are not useful or even harmful. Your first session will involve building trust and connection while finding out what is important to you regarding growth and change in your life and relationships.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I provide structured, evidence-based psychotherapy to cope with and overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use concerns. My approach focuses building meaning and purpose grounded in your values to support sustained change. For those who request it, faith can be thoughtfully incorporated as part of the therapeutic process.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Reaching out for therapy can feel uncertain, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. If you’re ready for thoughtful, steady work focused on clarity and meaningful change, I invite you to take the next step and reach out.
