Colin Matteson Business Development and Outreach Coordinator
Colin has lived in Washington all his life, and has invested the majority of his time fostering strong connections with the people of the Pacific Northwest. Despite heeding numerous warnings about pursuing an arts degree, he attended The Evergreen State College in Olympia and received a bachelor's degree in music and music technology. The years he spent at the school inspired his involvement in the community and his goal of continual personal growth. He is devoted to being a better version of himself each and every day.
Colin takes tremendous pride in his work, and is passionate about making connections with people and organizations alike to spread awareness of the mission and vision of GoodTherapy.org. Outside of work, you may find him volunteering in the community, writing and performing music, looking at used records at local music shops, babysitting, or playing basketball.

Robert Hardy Business Development and Outreach Coordinator
Though originally from London, England, Robert grew up in Saint Augustine, Florida, and Washington, D.C. Having moved to the Pacific Northwest intending to study creative writing at The Evergreen State College, Robert instead gravitated to a major in political science and spent his weekends hiking the abundant wilderness of the area.
After graduation, Robert took to the road, running a wool mill in New Mexico and working as a cook in New York City. It took a chance vacation back to the misty wilderness of Washington for Robert to realize his error in departing, and he was soon back in Olympia, where he married and built a home with his wife, Allie. He has worked in a number of creative roles, and is thrilled to bring his skills to the GoodTherapy.org team.
Outside of work, Robert spends his time experimenting in the kitchen, and usually has several batches of kimchi fermenting in his cabinets. He and Allie have three cats, but are always on the lookout for more!
