Hello, my name is Matthew!
Registered Psychotherapist in Hamilton, ON
Hi, I’m Matthew and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist in Hamilton, ON. I help people untangle the effects of childhood messages and reconnect with who they really are. My clients are often friendly, kind people who feel stuck or disconnected - especially those navigating anxiety, shame, or low self-worth. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone and there is hope!
Psychotherapy Services
I provide in-person and virtual psychotherapy sessions for a wide variety of challenges using evidence-based techniques that have been researched to show that they are effective. Sessions are kept confidential and are tailored to your needs.
Therapy for Childhood Trauma
Maybe you notice yourself frequently feeling anxious, "off", or not good enough without really knowing why. This can sometimes trace back to childhood experiences and an upbringing where safety, care, and reliability were missing. Strategies like people-pleasing or perfectionism may have helped you survive in childhood, but as an adult, it's leaving you feel stuck.
​
Blue Hen Psychotherapy specializes in working with people experiencing the effects of childhood trauma. Therapy offers a warm space to being able to understand these patterns, practice self-compassion, and reconnect with your self in a safe way.
​
Therapy for Anger
Are you feeling like anger is controlling you rather than you being in control of your anger? Many times, anger is a warning sign of other important emotions and thoughts going on beneath the surface. In a safe environment, we will explore the roots of your anger and learn simple skills to help keep you in control.
​
Therapy for LGBTQ+ Issues
Growing up as a member of the LGBTQ+ community comes with its own unique challenges. From never feeling good enough to even feeling like you're too much - life can feel like a struggle as you try to navigate through life as a queer person. As a gay therapist myself, I understand the value of having someone who truly understands and can help explore these topics.
​
Therapy for Anxiety
Anxiety is an important emotion - it can help keep us focused and on our A-game. But does it feel like anxiety sometimes just completely takes over? When anxiety starts to be present in all aspects of our life, it can be exhausting... Explore the sources of your anxiety and how to address it in therapy sessions.
​
Therapy for Men
From a young age, boys are told to "suck it up" and "be a man". We are taught that emotions are things to ignore and stuff away. Unfortunately, this has led to men's mental health being at an all time low. In therapy, we can explore and take ownership of our emotions in an accepting environment with no expectations, leading to relief and truly knowing yourself.
​
Therapy for Depression
Are you feeling sad? Less motivated? Like you just can't get ahead? You are not alone, and you don't have to face it alone. Depression can come from a wide variety of sources: work stress, childhood trauma, a relationship... Psychotherapy can help get to the root of your depression and help provide hope.
​
Therapy for Individuals
Blue Hen Psychotherapy currently provides therapy for adults who are 18+. There is no problem too small for therapy; in fact, some people just want a place to talk and to know themselves better. Psychotherapy sessions can be a safe space for you to wonder, explore, and grow with an experienced therapist helping guide the way.
