Mikal L Matton

I practice counseling in a safe, comfortable setting with children, adolescents and adults. Counseling can be an effective way to examine an emotional or behavioral issue like anxiety, depression, substance abuse; an upsetting or confusing life transition like the loss of a loved one, divorce or professional change and to get a different perspective and possibly untangle some residual patterns that may be holding you back. I believe it's important to have a collaborative relationship with my clients to find solutions to life challenges and explore the patterns that may no longer work for you.

I believe that through learning more about yourself, examining your present circumstances, how past experiences and personal history have brought you to where you are now and by practicing how to best gain acceptance and use the strengths that you possess change can occur.

In additional to talk therapy I also utilize creative techniques in my practice including relaxation techniques, guided journaling and creative art expression. I offer flexible office hours and am willing to work on a sliding scale as may be needed and available.
