Collaborative Psychotherapy for Clarity in Dizzying Times
Matthew Bethell, M.A., LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who offers collaborative and personalized therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I care deeply about helping people develop psychological flexibility so they may build meaningful lives and relationships, even through life's inevitable challenges. I bring a warm, nonjudgemental presence while integrating insights from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) existential psychotherapy, and Interpersonal Neurobiology into our work together.
Individual Therapy
A private and supportive space to contemplate, process, and work towards living in alignment with your values. This is a time for you to be heard. Sessions focus on what you want from therapy, whether it's attending to states of emotional dysregulation and disconnection, exploring patterns of thinking, navigating complexities in your relationships, or adapting to change.
Couples Therapy
A structured and safe environment for couples to explore the underlying emotions and dynamics that influence their relationship. With an attachment-based focus, this mode of therapy can encourage open dialogue to foster a deeper and nuanced understanding of each other's perspectives, Through guided discussions, couples can work through conflicts and reconnect on an emotional level to strengthen their bond.
Family Therapy
Therapy focused on illuminating processes within the family system. Family therapy provides an opportunity to examine generational patterns of interaction and that effect all within the system. Members of the family may generate new insights that better enable them heal attachment wounds, to engage openly and attentively, use perspective taking skills, and maintain developmentally appropriate boundaries and expectations.
I think of wellbeing as more than the absence or management of distress—it is both a state and a living practice, deeply rooted in congruence and connection.
​
When we examine our lives we encounter a subtle paradox: the more we seek to reduce suffering by tuning out, turning away, or simply trying harder, the more struggle we create. Change and genuine glimpses of freedom may arise when we meet our internal experiences with openness and curiosity as they appear in awareness. Therapy can be an empowering space to bring clarity and to explore new ways of relating to thought and emotion. Shifting perspective allow us loosen the grip on trying to control how others respond (or how we think we should feel) and instead begin living more honestly with what is. I'd be honored to walk with you in that process.
