About Matthew / Contact Information

Matthew Morey, PhD  

 “There is a deep comfort from relating intimately to other fellow travelers in the world.”
  -Irvin Yalom

I provide psychotherapy services for adults, individuals and couples, teens, children, and families. My focus is on helping you create supportive relationships and an authentic and creative life.  I utilize mindfulness in combination with several different types of psychotherapy practice, including the following: relational, existential, humanistic, gestalt, non-dual, and psychodynamic. I welcome people who are working with relationship and communication issues, anxiety and depression, and questions around self-esteem, isolation, and meaning.

My style is warm, thoughtful, and interactive. I have a deep respect for personal struggles. I also have deep faith in the process of psychotherapy, based on my years of helping people to change and grow.  

Health Insurance 
I am not on any insurance provider networks, however I will be happy to provide you with a statement of services to send to your insurance company for an out-of-network reimbursement.  

Experience and Education 
Much of my practical education comes from traveling the world and the various jobs I have had over the years. I have taught math and biology in Sierra Leone and New York City; I have tended a pub in London; and I have taught English in Japan. Additonally, among dozens of other odd jobs, I have worked in kitchens, on construction, as a bike messenger, and on sailboats. I have attended 20 or so mindfulness and metta retreats, whose impact has been great.
