About me
The origins of family therapy has been a part of the world of psychology for about 100 years. A Marriage and Family Therapist is a mental health professional who has specific education in systemic theory, in either a clinical masters program, or at the PhD level. In short, a family therapist studies a collaboration between family theory, and developmental psychology which provides unique effectiveness in individual, couples, and family therapy.
The perspective of a family therapist considers the client's social context, inter-generational family narratives, and interactional behaviors between all family members or even with individuals. A Family Therapist is a psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on altering interactions between: couples, families, other interpersonal systems, or even how a person communicates with oneself. Because of this a Marriage and Family Therapist receive a broader view of the context of the problem, and is able to make sense of the person's behavior.
Some critical principals of Marriage and Family Therapists are: No person has the same circumstances in life or worldview, each person is the expert of their own life, therapy is impacted by important people in our lives who may not be in attendance in a session, people are doing their best and want to do their best, everything always changes, no behavior occurs all the time, and the times when problem are eliminated are key areas for finding solutions.
Because Marriage and Family Therapist often work with multiple people in a session, and adopt a collaborative therapeutic style. What this means is that a person or family create their own ways finding solutions and goals with the therapist. When this happens, the tendency is to increase resiliency, clearer communication, understanding of perspectives, and enrichment of emotional bonds.

He provides excellent tools and insight to deal with my emotions
Wonderful therapist, who listens to you and helps you understand what you are going through and whys to cope
Very kind and attentive therapist. We appreciate ibis efforts.
Matthew is patient, knowledgeable and balanced. He quickly gets to the heart of the issue and helps us to find tools and new behaviors to manage through. I truly appreciate the support that he is providing for us.
Matthew isn’t afraid to ask the questions that need to be asked. I felt as though he has an innate sense of underlying issues with minimal “digging.” Intuitive and respectful, yet challenging and productive. I’d highly recommend Matthew to anyone needing therapy for answers/guidance without needing someone to coddle them.
Matt is Awesome- has a unique way of connecting, understanding and meeting couples where they are at in a very gentle and helpful way!
Matthew completely changed my view on therapy and is the biggest reason we will continue to subscribe to Regain.
Extremely helpful
