Matthew J. Farwell

Therapist

Approach to Therapy

Matthew’s therapeutic style focuses on compassion and ensuring that his clients feel understood and heard. In addition to lending a kind ear, Matthew offers coping strategies and therapeutic resources to help combat anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, and other related psychological difficulties. However, Matthew believes firmly that true psychological healing goes beyond coping with stress; he finds it essential to discuss formative experience in childhood and how they may unconsciously influence a person's life. He also has a particular interest in addressing and resolving reoccurring relational patterns and issues regarding significant others.
