Getting to know Matthew Yellis

You have tried reasoning with it, pushing through it, or waiting for it to pass, and it keeps coming back. Whether it is intrusive thoughts that refuse to quiet, a complicated relationship with food, or anxiety that unexpectedly surfaces, the exhaustion is real. I am a licensed counselor in Massachusetts, and I work with adults of all ages who are seeking to understand the underlying causes of these issues, not just manage the symptoms another day. My grounding in humanistic principles and six years of clinical work have shaped a practice built on authenticity, care, and genuine warmth.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is relationship-centered and evidence-based. For OCD, that means structured exposure work that builds real confidence, not just insight. For anxiety and eating concerns, I use acceptance-based and strengths-based methods tailored to what you need. The work is purposeful and individualized, and it happens inside a strong, safe connection.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first few sessions will be used to build trust and get to know each other. Once we agree that we're ready to delve deeper, we'll begin exploring the underlying and frequently overlooked thoughts, emotions, and experiences that led you to seek help. Therapy takes time, but meaningful change and healing are possible.
