Getting to know Matthew Seger
I believe that healing in the context of therapy is, at its core, about having someone who will bear witness to our pain. I'm inspired by the idea that we are all bent towards growth, healing, and our own self-actualization; sometimes we just need a companion with us as we tap into that internal compass. With a Master's in Counseling from Antioch University Seattle, it's my aim to hold a safe, empathic, and supportive space for you rooted in curiosity, rather than a pursuit of any “ideal,” as you embark on your healing journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have clinical training and experience and in navigating issues that can stem from complex PTSD, religious trauma, attachment trauma, interpersonal relationships, ADHD, and men’s issues. I specialized in trauma counseling while obtaining my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Antioch University of Seattle. I welcome working with all folks, but I’ve specifically gained experience with adults, college students, trans folks and others in the LGBTQIA+ community, people of color, and folks in under-resourced communities in my clinical experience. I see clients in person (downtown Chicago) and virtually in (Illinois and Washington).
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I take an eclectic approach in the counseling room—rooted in trauma-informed values—and pull from a variety of modalities: Attachment/Relational Theory, Somatic Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Existential Theory, and Person-Centered Therapy, among others. A systemic lens also influences the way in which I view you and your experience of the world. Systems at each level in our lives—internal, familial, local, and broader cultural systems—can shape our identity, our self-concept, and the ways that we navigate our traumas. Better understanding them, grieving the loss from the harm they may have perpetuated in our lives, and reconnecting with the parts of us that have been stifled by them all play an integral role in our healing.
