Getting to know Matthew Sharkawy

Hello, my name is Mathew Sharkawy. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). I understand how hard it is to take the first steps in seeking support, which is why my approach to therapy moves at your own pace. My focus is to ensure that the treatment goals align with what you have in mind. My approach I tend to focus my therapeutic support through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). My focus I have worked with clients diagnosed with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and PTSD. I have experience working with young children, adolescents, and adults, and I am comfortable supporting any age group. My communication style I want to make sure everyone is heard. I am a great listener and never interrupt when someone is speaking. I strive to create a calm and inviting environment. When you work with me, you will feel the supportive and relaxing nature of therapy. My journey to mental healthcare I’ve always had a passion for helping others. Having had someone help me in life, I have always wanted to give back. My goals for you I like to gather information and build rapport with my clients. Together, we collaboratively set treatment goals with a clear understanding of what you want to get out of therapy. We then establish those goals and begin the journey together. My first session with you The first session is about getting to know each other. I love to ask questions to understand more about you. I also share openly about myself because I believe it’s important for clients to know it’s okay to ask questions.
