Treating the problem, not your symptoms
A Holistic Perspective Of Mental Health
I don’t know about you, but I like it when things make sense. You’re here because you feel stuck in a problem that keeps happening no matter how many times you’ve tried to solve it. I’m here to tell you that there’s another way to make sense of your mental health and relationship problems, backed by evidence based research and current literature. My job is to put myself out of a job by surveying all of the objective data surrounding your problematic patterns, then form tailor made interventions to break your unwanted cycles of thought, feeling, and behavior. By the end, you will be equipped with a completely different lens of people, problems, and change, safeguarding you and your loved ones from how the cycle typically spreads to others.
Matthew Tapper, MS, LMFT
Hi, I’m Matt. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who’s passionate in utilizing systemic insights to facilitate change with individuals, couples, and families. I closely observe patterns within patterns of relating, utilizing a holistic lens to make sense of your ongoing problem by examining all components contributing to the ongoing cyclical maintenance of it. This space of sense making allows for individuals/couples to embrace an authentic accountability for their role in the problem, while standing on a firm foundation of compassion for everyone involved. This is the keystone of Marriage and Family Therapy, that’s evidence based and allows for the facilitation of authentic change without the use of a Mental Health Diagnosis. Feeling stuck in a cycle feels like you’re broken, but I can promise that you’re not. I’m a huge nerd for this way of thinking, and working on my dissertation for a PhD in it. You can trust that things are far more complicated than what’s commonly known, but once you get it… it just makes sense.
- I tend to have an overall positive impact with every problem a client is faced with, however I excel the most with clients who’ve lost hope for change through traditional psychotherapy.
- Beyond that, I have a clear expertise in relationships, breaking negative patterns of relating and facilitating a secure space for connection.
- I especially work well with Men who struggle with anger, and desire to become better Husbands and Fathers.
- Lastly, I have had great success working with clients who suffer from constant anxiety that inevitably leads to bouts of depression.
- Though I could never make someone choose you, if you’re eager for change and committed to finding it, I can guarantee that you will.
Video Consultation
In my decade-long, passionate pursuit of growth to genuinely help others, I’ve created a comprehensive video consultation to lay the groundwork of systemic thinking. This video provides the foundation of a holistic lens of mental health, making sense of people, problems, and change differently than you ever have before. Though I’m eager to share all of these concepts with everyone, keep in mind that this is not indicative of what Therapy with Me looks like. I’m still a human being capable of sitting in discomfort with other human beings, just armed with completely different ways of making sense of problems to help facilitate the change you’re looking for. If you’ve already found the service helpful, The Consultation serves as a free resource that you can pause, rewind, and replay at any time. As always, I like it when things make sense, and I hope it puts me out of a job!
