Matthew Rosario, MA, LPC, NCC

My professional journey as a therapist began during my senior year of high school literature, when I came to realize that what fascination I held with stories lay in their universal themes of love, death, despair, and triumph. It was something that always stuck with me; I knew that my life’s work would be in celebrating human experiences in living, and helping others to develop their own story. No matter who or where you are in this grand journey of living, at some point, we all need to stop and take some time—time to care for ourselves, time to reevaluate what’s important and where we’re heading. In following each of our unique paths toward becoming our very best selves, challenges, detours, and great barriers are not only a natural part of our experiences, they’re inevitable. Depression, anxiety, loss, conflict, anger, and doubt can be familiar companions—but so can love, perseverance, acceptance, joy, connection, and renewal. As a clinician whose primary approach takes root in existential, narrative, and person-centered therapy, I believe that absolutely everyone is powerful. And as my client, that means I believe in your power, too. But what happens when you don’t feel powerful? When you don’t feel like yourself? What happens when the distance between the life you’re living and the life you want to live seems too far? That’s where a good therapist can help. So whether you’re experiencing a specific problem, or perhaps one you can’t quite name, I’m here for it all. In our work together, I see my role as that of a companion, witness, and non-judgmental guide toward your greater personal growth, acceptance, and freedom, by providing a space where your voice can be heard, and your strengths can be leveraged. By being here, right now on this page, you’ve already taken the first step. And I invite you to take the next one by contacting me.
