matt carrillo, ma, lpc, ncc (formerly matt trietsch)

with decades of professional experience working with people and interpersonal relationships i also have plenty of letters behind my name, use best practices, and keep on top of training and research to be the best i can be for my clients. but that all said, i approach therapy as human first and therapist second. therapy is a sacred personal experience and i work to uniquely support clients on their journey to ease distress. i see the essential need to develop and maintain a deep therapeutic alliance with clients as it is imperative for effective therapy. in our journey, i see you as the expert in your life - not me. we move slow to move fast. my role is helping you uncover and heal from the root and repercussions of life experiences. my goal is for you to live with ease. in working together, clients invite me into the depths of their mind, heart, and spirit. i also invite you into mine, from time to time, when therapeutically appropriate to support the growth journey. i thrive facilitating a unique and comfortable environment where you can quickly feel safe bringing up absolutely any topic that impacts your life. i work from a person-centered, relational, and humanistic perspective while creatively weaving together evidence-based psychological practices. my primary approach includes cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, gestalt therapy, eye movement desensitization & reprocessing therapy (EMDR), and hypnotherapy. i offer a balance of indirect and direct approaches in session while regularly blending in my own flair of humor, wit, and personal experiences as therapeutically appropriate.
