Hello and Welcome. My name is Matt Volker, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than nine years of experience. For some asking for help and speaking to a counselor can be scary; however, by being here, you have already taken the hardest step. By taking the next step, know that you are not alone, and we can walk together through the journey of your life. My desire is to create a safe space for you to work on the things that are important to you.
Some of the intervention that I utilize are Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Positive Psychology and Reality Therapy. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples, with a focus on working toward optimal functioning. I use a holistic approach integrating a mind, body, and a spiritual approach, while incorporating mindfulness and meditation into your life to bring awareness and calmness.

Matt is a fantastic ally in my quest to search for a more ideal version of myself and my life. I can already tell I'm going to fail to do him justice, but let me start by saying that after having tried a variety of therapists over the years, Matt is the only one I've seen for more than a handful of meetings. He has a quiet wisdom and a light, guiding touch, never trying to force you down a path, but instead helping you to become aware that other paths exist.
I've had difficulty following the recommendations of other therapists in the past, and/or committing to guidance, even if I participated in creating it. As such, I require a cautious approach, and any self-realization or discovery has to come from within. Matt is excellent at helping me to do this - he's an exceptional listener, and generally only speaks when he has something worthwhile to say. Most of the help he's given me has been in the form of questions - he'll ask a question along a line of thought I hadn't considered, or shines light on a subject from a different perspective. He's very patient, and gives me the space I need to have my own realizations, instead of trying to lead me to the ones he thinks I should have.
Even on days where we don't discuss topics of any real substance, just talking with him seems to clear my head and set me at ease. I always feel more relaxed after a session. The structure of our discussions, and my therapy in general, has been very organic - my focus is allowed to wander, arriving at the things I want to discuss when I'm ready to do so. If it's a day I want to talk about something mundane and inconsequential, he gives me the freedom to do so without trying to steer things back to deeper waters, and I appreciate that.
Ultimately, I guess what I want to say is that I'm comfortable with Matt, and for me, that's a new and significant experience. I suspect he's well versed in other methods of therapy poo, and can probably provide a structured, detailed program with the best of them, but in my case, he listened and understood what works best for me. That's a rare skill, in my experience, and I'm glad to have found someone with such a refined skill set.
