Treating the problem, not your symptoms

Matthew Tapper, MS, LMFT
My job is to put myself out of a job by helping you identify the problem behind your symptoms, discuss and understand its maintenance in a way that makes sense, and then tailor fit interventions that accommodate your interest in moving forward.
I tend to have the most success with those who have tried everything to escape the problem they feel stuck in by offering a unique lens of it. I’m so passionate about genuine change found in this way of thinking that I’ve created a comprehensive video consultation to start us off. In the past, this was a whole scheduled session designed to lay the groundwork of systemic thinking. However, it became exhaustive as I continued to grow and develop it over the years. Now, it’s a free video that you get to watch, pause, and replay at your own pace. This allows clients more freedom to know if the service is worth it before spending their own resources. If you’re interested in The Consultation, you’ll find it below. However, if you would like to learn more about myself or read more on systemic thinking, check out the “About” section within the Menu at the top of the page.
The Consultation
For years, I’ve been scheduling free consultations before any client paid me a dime. The point was to lay a foundation of systemic thinking so that any problem could be understood differently before even discussing the problem itself. Over time, through expertise and ongoing education my consultations became so comprehensive that it became difficult to share so much so often. So…
The Consultation is now a video! It’s probably a more comprehensive foundation of systemic thinking than even my scheduled appointments, except now you can pause, rewind, and replay it anytime you want. As always, I hope this is helpful, and my job is to put myself out of a job!
