LMHC, 7 years of experience
Nice to meet you-- I'm Matt Raspanti, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years experience in the field. Wherever you may be at in your journey, I look forward to joining you on your path towards greater mental and emotional well-being. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings, and prioritize understanding things from your viewpoint. My main goal is to empower you as we collaborate to examine the impact of your experiences and stressors from new perspectives, to help you heal, and grow.
Each session is an opportunity to gain clarity and acceptance, as you continue to learn how to be with yourself in the present moment.
I view each session as an opportunity for you to gain clarity and acceptance, as you continue to learn how to be with yourself more fully in the present moment. I welcome getting to know you and your story, recognizing the courage it takes to choose what may be more difficult in the near term, though more helpful for you in the long run.
I work with adults (18+) to address issues related to chronic pain, substance use, relationship difficulties, anxiety, and depression. I tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet your specific needs, taking a holistic approach to promote self-awareness, identify your strengths, practice new skills with you, and help you refine existing coping strategies.
I tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet your specific needs, and take a holistic approach. I use cognitive behavioral interventions to collaborate with you to break things down, building your awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to decrease negative self talk, improve interpersonal communication and coping skills. As fits for you, we will integrate a mindfulness-based approach, including relaxation strategies and work together on the best ways to measure progress throughout treatment.
Acceptance and commitment strategies I use are exploring with you how to can feel more safe identifying and experiencing uncomfortable emotions and feelings, identify and clarify values, learn the benefit of, and practice how to create and maintain a healthy distance between thoughts and feelings, and taking action towards goals that aligns with your values between sessions.
