Welcome! My name is Matthew Tapia and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Arizona and California. In my life, I’ve seen many people with a broad spectrum of challenges. I’ve also seen that hope and relief are possible. I offer a unique perspective in getting you that help. I enjoy seeing individuals and families solve problems and feel closer together. My experience comes from providing direct mental health and behavioral counseling for kids, teens, and adults with a variety of presenting issues including anxiety, autism, Asperger's syndrome, depression, stress, relationship and family issues, life transitions, parenting, and caregiving issues in a variety of settings. My approach and therapy style draws influence from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It is important that you and I work together as a team using a collaborative approach and that I meet you where you are.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, I will talk about my therapy approach, discuss what to expect from therapy, obtain informed consent, discuss the risks and benefits of therapy, discuss confidentiality and the limits of confidentiality, and ask about what brings you to therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been told by my clients that I have a great deal of patience and a myriad of methods to approach sustainable mental health. I've also been told that I am collaborative, empathic, and understanding.

I use this treatment method occasionally, particularly parts of it that are compatible with other third-wave behavioral therapies such as ACT and DBT.

I have taken several courses in DBT and use it on occasion in my practice.
