Getting to know Matthew Farwell

Hi there, I'm Matthew! Hey there, my name is Matthew Farwell. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in the Bay Area, California. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Notre Dame de Namur University. Since March 2020, I have been working with clients via telehealth. I primarily work with individual adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD-related disorders. I use our sessions to help you improve your relationship with yourself, which in turn allows you to improve your relationships with others. My approach I believe every client has unique and untapped strengths. I help clients understand how their past influences present challenges, adopt new coping strategies, and learn evidence-based facts about their diagnosis. I use an integrated approach because I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" method for the complexities of each client. This includes CBT/DBT coping strategies, positive self-talk, recognizing strengths, and processing formative experiences from a humanistic lens. My focus I work with clients tired of low self-esteem, wanting to understand themselves and their emotions, and interested in making impactful changes. Negative self-talk and perfectionism often underlie distress, and I enjoy teaching clients to let go of the narrative that they aren’t good enough or worthy of happiness. I also have a particular interest in working one-on-one with clients experiencing relationship challenges. My journey to mental healthcare Since my teenage years, I knew I wanted to work in mental health. Helping someone develop a clearer relationship with themselves gives me profound satisfaction. We are the most complex species, and understanding the "why" behind our behavior and feelings fascinates me.
