Jeremiah Matters, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

My name is Jeremiah (He, Him) and I'm an openly gay therapist whose passion is to help couples and individuals in the LGBTQ+ Community like you have healthier relationships, as well as helping you to navigate the coming out journey and the unique complexities that come with that lifelong process. Even if you don't identify as LGBTQ+, many clients have found my approach to be open-minded and accepting, and have felt comfortable working alongside me no matter how they identify. To learn more about me and the services I provide, please check out my website by clicking "Visit Website" below my profile picture. I use an attachment-based perspective called emotionally focused therapy to help you have a better understanding of your emotions so that you can be more secure with yourself and more confident in expressing yourself and your needs to others. I believe in the power that comes from being your most authentic self, so I often make use of self-disclosure to help you see what it looks like to put theory into action, and clients often share how meaningful it is to them to feel like they have a therapist who can relate and understand them. In our first session, my focus will be to get a general picture of who you are and begin collaborating on goals for our therapy journey together. Overall, my general hope is that you will learn: What your attachment style is, how it has developed, create a new, positive inner child voice that you no longer feel criticized or defeated by; and that you will develop a secure attachment style in order for you to pursue your most authentic self and have lasting, joyful, satisfying relationships.

I am also in pursuit of becoming a Certified Sex Therapist (CST), and while I'm not a CST yet, you can also check out my other website, www.SexTherapyMatters, to learn more about how I can provide a safe space to explore your sex life, sexuality, andor other sexually-related concerns.
