Getting to know Dr. Matthew Sacks

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am NOT the therapist you are looking for. I am NOT a warm and fuzzy psychologist who will tell you that you are perfect and wonderful. I am not going to tell you that your best life is just waiting for you around the corner. Honestly, it might not be. Change is difficult. But change IS possible. It requires consistent work and a near constant desire to learn a more effective way of being in the world. My direct, pragmatically stoic approach to therapy is based upon the assumption that everyone has an inner strength that can be tapped into and utilized to help build greater Psychological Equanimity & Resilience. With over 20 years in the field of psychology, I am a well-trained, experienced clinical psychologist with an expertise in stress management and performance enhancement. My wide range of experience includes working for the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and working for atai Life Sciences, the largest psychedelics company globally. Our Mission is to help individuals/teams improve their overall well-being & experience less suffering by teaching them stress reduction techniques, emotion regulation strategies, mindfulness, & essential Cognitive-Behavioral skills. Achieving higher levels of Psychological Equanimity and Resilience is the first principles mission of our work with everyone.
