Getting to know Matthew Woodbury

Hi there, I'm Matthew! I've had the privilege of practicing in the Bay Area as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 25 years. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from San Francisco State University. Thank you for checking out my profile. I hope you find the right fit in a therapist and get the help you deserve. My approach I describe my approach to therapy as client-centered or person-centered. This means the work we do is collaborative and based on mutual respect and understanding. No cookie cutters or set agendas! We'll work as a team to find the approach that best suits your personality and needs. Most importantly, we'll create a space where you can be your authentic self and experience a human connection free from criticism or judgment. I believe this is the sweet spot for healing and a corrective emotional experience. My focus I enjoy working with individual adults, young and old, as well as couples. Depression, anxiety, life transitions, LGBTQ+ issues, work stress, relational stress, trauma, grief, and bereavement are areas of focus. My communication style I consider myself down to earth and not terribly formal. I'm told I have an engaging and calming manner. I listen actively and reflect back what I hear to ensure clear and mutual understanding. I believe humor can be a valuable tool for coping with challenges and fostering meaningful connections. My journey to mental healthcare Since childhood, I've been fascinated with people. When company came for dinner, I'd listen in on adult conversations rather than join other kids at play. In college, I studied fine arts (painting) and worked at a psychiatric hospital during summer breaks. By graduation, I knew I wanted a career in mental health and continued my studies to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have compassion for those who suffer and a desire to improve their lives.
