Getting to know Matthew Lyon

Are you struggling to keep up with your own expectations or feeling frustrated by those placed on you? Life can be challenging to manage, and often the hardest part is deciding to reach out for support. I believe the most important aspect of treatment is that clients feel heard, treated with respect, and actively involved in the healing process. If you need a safe space to unpack how stress impacts your mental health, together we can work on improving interpersonal skills, reducing symptoms, and developing coping strategies to face life's challenges. I have experience working with children, adults, and families. Throughout my time in community-based clinics, diversion programs, and psychiatric urgent care centers, I have learned that everyone has their own journey. Whether addressing acute or chronic mental health concerns, I use a person-centered approach to empower clients to regain power and stability in their lives. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide compassionate, effective care tailored to each individual's needs.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal is to provide a safe environment in which clients can share their experiences and fully explore their unique challenges. Through non-judgment, curiosity, and dignity, I hope to foster a therapeutic relationship that will lead to renewed insights and progress toward your identified goals. In doing so, we will discuss developing coping skills and resiliencies to reduce symptoms and increase life satisfaction. Occasionally, I will ask clients to engage in homework between sessions to reinforce the work that we do together.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
