About me
Welcome!
My name is Matt Poje, LPC. I specialize in the healing of emotional trauma, using the Instinctual Trauma Response method (ITR),I have 15 years working with Veterans via Department of Defense contracts, and over 23 yrs of professional work experience. I am licensed in CA, WI and NV.
The ITR method uses over 100 years of neuroscience to help heal the brain. Since ITR uses neuroscience, you will learn the steps of the ITR method that will help you to become more resilient.
ITR is not talk therapy in the classical sense. ITR is a focused, purposeful method of trauma healing. ITR is proven to work. If you are ready to work on a proven method of reducing symptoms of trauma, I look forward to work with you.

I've enjoyed my sessions with Matthew, which says a lot for therapy. I have someone kind and compassionate I can talk with, who will also call me out on my things. I appreciate that so much. I also appreciate the tools I'm learning to work through past traumas. I would recommend Matthew to anyone!
