Matthew Vella, LMSW

Psychotherapist
808 Un St, Ste 2B, Brooklyn, NY
When life feels stressful or uncertain, relationships strained, or emotions heightened, we often slip into autopilot. Under pressure, old patterns—anxiety, self-criticism, anger, or shutdown—take over, pulling us away from the life we want to have, the person we truly are, and the people we care about. While anxiety, conflict, trauma, and the challenges of ADHD can be painful, they can also be invitations to slow down, reconnect, and discover new ways of being. I work with adults, teens, couples, children, and families in a spirit of collaboration and presence. Therapy, like many relationships, is a dance—balancing growth, boundaries, and acceptance. My work is psychodynamic in orientation and draws from IFS and ACT for individuals, EFT for couples, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy and PCIT for families. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, a relationship, or your family, therapy offers space to reflect, process, repair—and when it helps, play. Individual and family work often mirror one another, as both involve learning to care for the many parts that make up a whole. Wherever you are in your process, I’d be honored to explore this work together.
