Matthew Harmon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has worked with adults and children with disabilities, with death and dying, and extensively in the inpatient/outpatient behavioral health setting with individuals in crisis, including suicidal depression and other issues.

Matthew completed his bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville and his Master of Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. He is passionate, attentive, and well-organized. Matthew believes that life is not always easy, and though there is joy, there is also much heartache.

Matthew is trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Level 1. Matthew's approach is focused, practical, and skills based, helping couples strengthen their relationships through structured, research backed tools. Matthew integrates Gottman Method principles improving communication, deepening emotional connection, and managing conflict constructively, while maintaining a clear, goal oriented framework tailored to each couple’s needs.

Matthew aims to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can learn about yourself and your loved ones in an effort to feel more whole, more connected, and more in control of your life’s direction. He specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is one of the most effective evidence-based therapeutic treatments available. CBT is based on something called the “cognitive theory", an idea relating back to the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus, who said, “Individuals aren’t disturbed by the world or what happens to them, but by their thoughts about the world.” The primary idea is that if we can change our thoughts about ourselves, the world, and our idea of the future, then we can change our experience. Matthew is also trained in hypnotherapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and has a passion for mindfulness, existentialism, ecotherapy, and other holistic methods.
