Getting to know Matthew Rickard

I identify as a gay/queer cis man living in New York City for 15 years. I come from a performing arts background where I worked as a professional actor for 10+ years. Because of my acting training, I bring a singular set of interpersonal skills to the work that I do. I received my master's at Saybrook University and my long-term aspiration is to cultivate connections with LGBTQ+ people and survivors of trauma.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a counselor based in humanistic and relational cultural theory, I believe you are the person who knows yourself best. Throughout life, circumstances leading to disruptions in well-being can produce self-doubt, a negative view of self, and low self-worth. Even through these times, each person still has autonomy and the ability to make effective decisions that fit in accordance with their lives. One of my goals is to expand self-awareness so you can live in a more purposeful way that aligns with your values. Stemming from a relational cultural background, I find it is essential to consider how a person’s unique lived experiences, cultural background and exposure to trauma, oppression and discrimination contribute to the problems and concerns one is facing. Creating a trusting therapeutic relationship sets the foundation for personal change and I look forward to building bonds with you!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As a person and counselor, you can expect a warm, genuine attitude from me and an invested sense of care in your overall well-being. Throughout therapy, I offer compassion and encourage each individual to act in ways that are true to themselves with the notion of self-discovery being the key to greater authenticity. My approach is collaborative while also letting you take the lead. Overall, I view each person as a unique individual which means our time together will be customized to suit your needs.
