Matthew Houston is a licensed clinical social worker based in the vibrant city of New York. Matthew is patient-focused and collaborative and specializes in working with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, intimacy, life transitions, identity, meaning, and the interpersonal challenges surrounding family and relationships.
Matthew's approach to therapy is rooted in an interpersonal lens, which involves bolstering awareness in everyday life and strengthening one's ability to consciously respond. He believes in working collaboratively with his patients to explore conscious and unconscious obstacles to growth, and support the changing of unhelpful patterns that are hard to let go of. Therapy offers a safe space and time to connect with ourselves, process difficult emotions, and initiate long-lasting change and self-improvement. Matthew believes that change is within reach and is looking forward to providing transformative support.
Matthew strives to understand his patients empathetically so that they may empathetically know themselves. His practice is rooted in creating a place where patients can identify and connect with their feelings and sensations, develop a greater sense of aliveness, and feel empowered in their daily lives.
