Hello there! My name's Matt, nice to meet you! I'd like to first give you a brief introduction to my background, which began in 2007 when I began working in the mental health field, supporting individuals dealing with severe illnesses in a number of group homes throughout Monmouth, Somerset, and Hunterdon Counties. This experience continued throughout my graduate studies, where I had the opportunity to apply my skills and knowledge in real-world settings through internships. After several years of working various short-term positions while raising my children, I returned to full-time clinical work at a community clinic in northcentral New Jersey. I remained there until and throughout most of the pandemic. In late 2022 to early 2023, I made the decision to part ways with the group and open my own private practice, the Zen Den Counseling Center. Currently, the center operates exclusively online, as I've found that the majority of my clients prefer teletherapy over in-person sessions. This shift allows me to better focus on providing the best possible care to my clients while staying updated on the latest developments in the field. I can also manage the number of clients I see, ensuring that each person I meet with receives my undivided attention and dedication.
