Getting to know Jennifer Matthews

My name is Jennifer Matthews, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from the State University of New York, Oswego. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, utilizing my vast knowledge of theory to provide quality care tailored to each client's individual needs. I am trained and certified in CBT, DBT, ACT, CPT, and PE. My approach I don't believe therapy follows a set pattern or curriculum. It is a unique journey for each individual I have the honor of guiding. While the techniques I use are evidence-based, they are carefully tailored to the client's needs and presentation after thorough assessment and collaboration. My focus Throughout my career, I have helped individuals regain power and freedom over their lives. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a client smile during and after the storm, knowing they have developed the skills to not only survive but thrive. Most clients who seek my support have a trauma history, experience racial injustice, struggle with co-dependency, face sexual identity concerns, and are looking for ways to overcome negative thinking patterns. My communication style I create a safe, supportive environment where our therapeutic relationship involves give and take, push and pull. Some days you may feel like quitting therapy, and those are often the days when change is happening. I quickly learn when to push and when to step back. I promise to always respect where you are and challenge you just enough so you leave each session feeling you've accomplished your goal for the day. My journey to therapy Mental health affects the majority of people worldwide, and my family is no exception. Growing up with a loved one whose condition I didn't understand led me to this field. Witnessing the impact of trauma on individuals and the healing that treatment can provide is what has kept me committed to this work.
