About

**** THANK YOU FOR BOOKING WITH MATTHEW ESCANO. WITHIN 48 HOURS FROM BOOKING, YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM TO COMPLETE A 5-10 MINUTE PRE-SCREEN. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO REACH YOU, YOUR APPOINTMENT WILL BE CANCELED. **** I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, various forms of addiction, autism, & more. Are your goals oriented towards reducing maladaptive symptoms, identifying the behaviors you wish to engage in, being the person you want to be, and, ultimately, the life you aspire to live? Do you desire change and growth & are willing to put the necessary effort in? As your counselor, I do not effect change; that responsibility belongs to you. I aim to empower you to recognize your innate strengths, develop them further, and effectively use them towards your goals in life. I specialize in CBT & REBT, to help identify faulty cognitions (ways of thinking) about themselves, others, & the world. We will work towards unlocking the motivation to become our best version. I practice elements of existentialism, helping people find meaning in their lives, & Stoicism to cope with life's inevitable challenges. If you're reading this, I want to commend you for being here. Even just thinking about therapy as an option is a step towards taking charge of your life! You are demonstrating that you value your mental health and are open to exploring ways to help you grow as a person. Thank you for being here, and I am looking forward to working with you!
