Matt will not prescribe controlled substances.

Controlled substances for psychiatric purposes include benzodiazepines for anxiety (e.g, Xanax, Klonopin), sedatives for insomnia (e.g, Ambien, Lunesta), and stimulants for ADHD (e.g, Adderall, Vyvanse).

If your anxiety, insomnia, or ADHD cannot be adequately treated with non-controlled substances, Matt will refer you to a prescriber who can manage those diagnosis with controlled substances.

Matt’s certification and license allows him to see all ages across the lifespan. Sessions with clients under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult for a part of each session.

While medication management is the focus, Matt offers brief supportive psychotherapy with each visit. Psychotherapeutic interventions include discussing various coping skills unique to your needs, the principles of CBT and DBT that apply to your situation, as well as ways to stay motivated to achieve your goals. Matt recommends more in depth psychotherapy to be obtained from an LMHC, LCSW, or psychologist. If you are looking for a therapist, whether in-person or virtual, Matt can refer you to a trusted therapist in his network.

Matt is currently accepting both telehealth clients and in-person clients at his office in Orange City, FL.
