About

I have worked as a counselor in varying roles since 1996 and am a Nationally Certified Counselor (#80195) and hold dual- licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado (#4120), Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida (#11935), and a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida (#3260). I am also a Certified Addiction Counselor (CACIII- #7171) and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS). These are national and state licensing agencies that recognize counselors who have distinguished themselves through meeting the board’s standards for education, knowledge, and experience.

I have an earned PhD in Counselor Education & Supervision, a Master’s of Divinity degree (MDiv), and a Master’s of Science degree (MS) in Counseling from universities that are accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). I have pursued additional training in the area of trauma, addiction, and couple’s therapy.

I provide services to individuals who are motivated to make positive change and desire a greater quality of life, while wishing to enhance their growth through self-discovery and other related techniques designed to enhance and nurture relationship skills for more successful living. I provide spiritually-attuned therapy services when a client is open to this perspective and may utilize prayer as an effective means if a client is comfortable with this or requests it. My counseling expertise is in working with adults and includes issues dealing with career, family, relationships, trauma, grief, and addiction.

During the course of therapy, Dr. Matise is likely to draw on various psychological approaches according, in part; to the problem that is being treated and his assessment of what will best benefit you. These approaches include, but are not limited to, behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, existential, system/family, developmental (adult, child, family), humanistic or psycho-educational.
