Getting to know Matthew Banach

Hello, my name is Matt Banach. I'm excited to meet you and help you with your therapy progress. My ideal client specifically wants to address their trauma through EMDR and is motivated to put in the work to heal. Their issues range from mild depression and single episodic trauma to more complex PTSD and dissociative presentations. For example, their issues may include formative attachment trauma, military trauma, accidents, and sexual abuse. Their most prominent need would be to heal from past trauma which contributes to their current distress and difficulties in relationships. Some of their goals may include creating safety and security, trauma resolution, integrating their nervous system, learning healthy and effective coping, healing the traumatized parts of self, improving social functioning, and gaining perspective on their life. My client wants to face and feel the intense emotions brought about through therapy because they realize, as Robert Frost stated, 'The only way out is through.' In addition, my client wants to learn the skills and coping required to work on themselves safely and effectively, and to experience balance in their life. As a certified consultant in both Attachment Focused Trauma Therapy and EMDR, I can help people heal and support them through the personality transformation these therapies produce. I work closely with my clients to build trusting relationships through curiosity, attunement, and a foundational holding environment. What this essentially means is I want my clients to feel as comfortable with me as I am with them. I begin by learning about my clients through an initial assessment. This information is then broken down and we determine what the client wants to work on and how I may assist. Clients will also be given assessment tools to determine the most appropriate course of treatment. As treatment progresses, our interactions also progress.
