Matthew Balli, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor (he/him)
- Work best with: Adults and Adolescents
- Appointments: Telehealth only
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
I provided an open and honest therapeutic environment where patients feel heard, validated, and supported. Drawing from CBT and DBT principles, I help patients build practical skills, increase self-awareness, and develop effective strategies for managing life’s challenges.
During my intake sessions, I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship through empathy, validation, and collaboration. Patients can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where they are encouraged to openly share their experiences, concerns, and goals for therapy.
Patients have said that they felt safe to be vulnerable about their life in our sessions. Patients have also said that I am a great listener as a therapist who is professional, relatable, approachable and fully values their concerns and issues.
