APPROACH TO TREATMENT

Person-centred care is at the core of Matthew’s philosophy as a burgeoning mental health care clinician. This means that the client is the focal point of therapy, and everything is being conceived through their lens and worldview. Understanding that every client is coming in with a unique point of view, background, comfort level/history with therapy, and presenting problem, he is sure to be flexible in his approach and work collaboratively with the client on their therapeutic journey. Fostering a strong, trust-filled therapeutic bond is at the forefront of his priorities with his clients. Matthew also leans on tenets from the Strength-Based therapeutic modality as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
