Getting to know Matthew Kelsey

We accept Anthem/Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield of New York, Aetna, and Cigna through Headway. Not all BCBS plans are accepted Before booking, please verify your insurance is accepted by searching Matthew Kelsey on Headway.co before booking. Life can be a complex journey filled with challenges that leave us feeling adrift, overwhelmed, or stuck dwelling on the past, or worrying about the future. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or the demands of work and family, I'm here to help you move beyond simply understanding your struggles to creating meaningful, lasting change. I meet clients where they are, offering empathy, collaboration, and a neuroscience-informed approach that works with both your mind and nervous system to help you feel more like yourself - and live with greater clarity, flexibility, and openness.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is collaborative and client-centered, taking time to truly understand your unique story and tailor our work to your needs. I draw from evidence-based modalities including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, and also integrate biofeedback and neurofeedback to help you build resilience and create lasting change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to make a change, our team is here to meet you with warmth and genuine care. We believe the right therapeutic relationship can be transformative. Reach out today — we'd love to hear from you.
