Matt Meyer
I provide a safe atmosphere meant to invite clients into an opportunity for healing. I combine insight and professional expertise to help clients deal skillfully with life's difficulties. Within therapy, I challenge clients to explore their past while at the same time using those insights as an opportunity for change in the present. A variety of techniques and information are passed on to clients through learning skills and psycho-education. I view ones faith as a key resource for clients to find resilience, hope, and comfort in hard times.
I enjoy the opportunity to work with people who are needing treatment for:
- ADHD
- Addiction
- Alcohol Abuse
- Anger Management
- Behavioral Issues
- Bipolar Disorder
- Codependency
- Divorce
- Domestic Violence
- Drug Abuse
- Emotional Disturbance
- Grief
- Infidelity
- Men's Issues
- Relationship Issues
- Self Esteem
- Sexual Abuse
- Substance Use
I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Western Washington University and my Masters in Counseling from Trinity Western University. I work as a private practitioner seeing individuals over 18 years old. I worked as part of a team of counselors at Bridging Counseling Ministries for 5 years until heading out on my own. I have worked in partnership with a number of churches around Whatcom County helping clients move toward their goals. In 2008 I helped establish MiddlePath Counseling which provides DBT skills group and individual counseling.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids. I enjoy most outdoor activities like running and biking, or team sports like basketball and soccer. I also enjoy reading biographies and memoirs at coffee houses on Bellingham type of days. I have lived in Bellingham since 1996, love our local culture and believe we live in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
