About John J. Matthews
John Matthews has been working in the Human Services field with people of all ages and backgrounds in diverse settings for over 30 years as a counselor, crisis worker, program manager and mental health trainer. In 2015, he began on a path of specializing as a licensed therapist in both the states of Pennsylvania and eventually Florida where he now resides full time with his wife, enjoying beautiful “sunsets and hurricanes!”
John’s approach to therapy is based on individualized plans, yet rooted in core principles of empathy, trauma sensitivity, flexibility and collaboration. He incorporates different models of therapy, again, based on individual needs/preferences. For example, he will use EMDR for some trauma issues but will also incorporate Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Christian focused, Solution Focused, 12 Step Facilitation and Choice Theory. He takes therapeutic rapport very seriously as it goes along way in determining positive outcomes.
