I am a licensed psychoanalyst and psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. My practice is built at the intersection of multiple areas of expertise, combining the deep methodology of psychoanalysis with a rigorous PhD in Business Administration and Organizational Psychology. In our work together, you’ll have my full attention and presence as we address the patterns and obstacles that hold you back. My goal is to help you better understand your challenges and draw on your strengths, abilities, and inner resources. I engage with the whole of who you are—your thoughts, emotions, history, and hopes for the future. It’s deeply meaningful to walk alongside my clients as they grow, change, and achieve both personal and professional goals. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. My approach is grounded in clinical expertise, broad life experience, and a practical understanding of the challenges you face. My hope is that we can work together to better understand your story and move your life forward in meaningful new ways.

Dr. Matthew Paldy I work with individuals and couples suffering from grief, trauma, and emotional wounds that often lie beneath everyday functioning. My practice is grounded in a depth-oriented, relational approach that honors both conscious experience and the powerful, often unspoken forces of the unconscious. My work is shaped by two guiding principles: * Deep Listening: A psychoanalytic approach that helps you understand how loss, trauma, and early experiences live on inside you—shaping your feelings, relationships, and sense of self. * Trauma-Informed Care: A sensitive, attuned, and collaborative process that respects the impact of trauma on the body, mind, and relationships. Together, our work can help you: Process grief, loss, and traumatic experiences that may feel overwhelming, frozen, or unresolved. Make sense of emotional pain that can feel confusing, isolating, or impossible to put into words. Reconnect with your inner strengths, capacities, and capacity for meaning, even in the aftermath of suffering. I engage with the whole of who you are—your thoughts, emotions, memories, relationships, and hopes for the future. I see therapy as a shared journey in which you are not alone with your pain. It is deeply meaningful to accompany my clients as they mourn, heal, and gradually rediscover connection, purpose, and vitality in their lives. My approach is grounded in clinical expertise, lived human understanding, and deep respect for how difficult grief and trauma can be. My hope is that together we can better understand your story, give voice to what has been silenced, and help you move forward in ways that feel authentic, safe, and meaningful.

As a certified cognitive therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns and negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Cognitive Therapy was created by Aaron Beck, MD at the University of Pennsylvania , but now practiced as the primary form of therapy all over the world. "Cognitive" literally means knowing or thinking, so CT emphasizes directly changing how we think. By changing how we think, we can change our emotional and behavioral reactions. CT emphasizes interventions such as, evidence based thinking, hypothesis testing our thoughts, activity scheduling and prediction. It is the most scientifically proven therapy and the "Gold Standard" treatment for depression and anxiety disorders; scientifically proven controlled research trials have shown its effectiveness is often comparable to medication therapy. CT has also gone on to accumulate hundreds of proven effective results for anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, phobias, marital discord, ADHD, and aspergers syndrome, etc. Joseph is credentialed by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. The only national credentialing organization standardizing Cognitive Therapy. Since CT has become the most proven and recommended type of therapy, many psychotherapists now claim to know how to do CT, unfortunately very few are actually credentialed or trained to do so.

In my 19 years of experience, I have come to realize that for many people the idea of trusting someone with their personal struggles and life issues can be very scary. It takes courage to reach out for professional help when life's challenges are more than you can handle on your own.
