Grow Well Cleveland

Matt is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and supervisor at Grow Well Cleveland, LLC. He believes therapy is an opportunity to better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and build meaningful change in a supportive, collaborative environment. His approach is individualized and strengths-based, recognizing that every client brings their own experiences, needs, and goals to the therapeutic process.

Matt began his clinical career in substance use treatment in 2017 while pursuing his graduate education. He earned his Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Walsh University in 2019. Throughout his career, he has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in a variety of settings, including K–12 schools, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs, community mental health agencies, and higher education. These experiences have helped him develop a flexible approach to working with clients from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns.

Matt has particular interests in supporting clients navigating major life transitions, LGBTQ+ identity and experiences, sexuality and sexual concerns, relationship and family dynamics, trauma, substance use, emotional regulation, and overall wellness. His therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Reality Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, mindfulness, and Family Systems Therapy. He integrates these perspectives thoughtfully and flexibly to meet each client’s unique needs.

At the heart of Matt’s work is the belief that a strong therapeutic relationship can create the foundation for meaningful growth and healing. He strives to offer a space where clients feel heard, respected, and free to explore life’s complexities without judgment. Together, he and his clients work toward personal goals, greater self-understanding, and improved overall wellness.

In sessions, clients can expect collaboration, honest conversations, and opportunities to build practical skills. Humor is welcome, and Matt believes that healthy challenges, when offered with care and respect, can help clients move beyond familiar patterns and toward the changes they want to make. His goal is to support clients in developing greater confidence, self-awareness, and the ability to navigate life with intention.
