Matthew Tentler LMFT

I believe therapy should be direct and helpful, the world is chaotic and full of suffering, and I hope to provide concrete tools and methods of developing insight that make a measurable difference in my client's lives. With me, I can promise a space free of judgement and unhelpful advice. We will figure out how you can go from barely surviving, to fully thriving, no matter what obstacles you face.

I utilize three evidence based models of psychotherapy. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a type of psychotherapy that involves a combination of cognitive therapy, meditation, and the cultivation of a present-oriented, non-judgmental attitude called "mindfulness." Attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) aims to repair interpersonal ruptures and rebuild emotionally protective, secure relationships between family members. EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation, which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.
