About me
I am a Community Counselor. I have spent my time as a therapist side by side with children and teens in their homes with family, in their schools with teachers, and out in the community with friends. I have worked with people on the Autism Spectrum, with ADHD, depression, mood disorders, and end of life issues.
My approach to helping has always been to help you define your current purpose. I utilize a client-centered approach, cognitive behavioralism, and existentialism. I want you to feel heard, feel seen, and feel you are important. We will work together to help you on your journey.
I am glad you are here and I look forward to working with you.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Matthew Miller. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Matthew is an amazing therapist. He has helped me understand my AuDHD and related needs so much better, and as a couples councilor has helped the communication and understanding between me and my neurotypical wife is really profound ways.
Matt was amazing connecting with my son. He is looking forward to the next session.
For only have 1 live session so far, hrs been an excellent therapist. I'm not always the easiest to open up, but it felt very natural with him. He felt very understanding, but not in a way that felt coddling. He was blunt but kind and seems to be what I'm looking for.
Matthew is VERY direct, very to the point, and leaves little to no room for confusion. I have had several different therapists in my time and he has by far had the best communication style out of any I have met. If you're working on accountability, Matthew will make sure you stand on that. He's excellent at helping navigate what can be easily misinterpreted or misunderstood, and he REALLY knows how to read a room. 10/10.
Matthew is straight forward and to the point while still showing care and concern for both me and my husband while we have learn to improve our communication
Matthew is awesome - very straightforward and to the point
Matthew has helped me immensely. Since I’ve been counseling with him, my confidence has improved, I have new hobbies, my CPTSD has cleared up, and I am much better at setting boundaries. I highly recommend anyone who is struggling or going through hard times to see him. He is blunt and straightforward, often cutting right to the heart of the matter. He is very good at spotting behavior patterns very quickly. If you prefer a therapist who will coddle you, approach you with softness, and tell you what you want to hear, then Matthew is not right for you. I say that as a compliment to him. My life has improved markedly since starting therapy with him. Highly recommend.
Matthew is a different type of therapist than I have encountered before. He is direct but kind and very clear in the way he gives advice and helps me reflect on my self. Working with Matthew has expanded my conception of what I am capable of. He helped me navigate coming out to my wife as poly and integrate my new partner into our lives. He helped save my marriage. I'm the happiest I've been in a long time and I credit that to Matthew. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude.
Matthew listens to everything I have to say and helps me understand my feelings and thoughts. He helps me work through what I need to work through and simplifies things that I unconsciously complicate. He has helped me understand myself in ways I would never have done without him. I highly recommend him to anyone that is on a journey of self discovery
Matthew is an insightful therapist and cares about his patients. He remembers all the information from previous sessions and provides practical feedback and next steps!
I have worked with Matthew through teen counseling for over a year and it has been the best therapy experience I've had. I am autistic and had previously worked with therapists who didn't fully understand my perspective or needs. Having a therapist who is also autistic has been instrumental in helping me find a way to exist in the world that is joyful and sustainable. Our conversations are direct, focused on my concerns, and often fun. I would recommend Matthew to anyone looking to build a values-focused life with the support of a therapist who will push you to grow while also letting you shape your experience.
I appreciate Matthew a lot. He’s direct, respectful, and gives incredible insight.
Matthew has helped me realize a lot of truths that have set me on a positive life path and influenced me for the better! Highly recommend. He’s very insightful and understanding!
Matthew has been amazing. He has given us tools to help us better understand each other and ourselves in our relationships. Therapy with Matthew have been eye opening and insightful with him being there to assist us with navigating through these opportunities of growth and learning, which he also helps provide. We see the difference in our life's and relationships because of Matthew and his approach.
Matthew is amazing! Understanding and patient, but also direct when needed. He provides great information and resources.
Matthew takes the time to understand and acknowledge my feelings. By encouraging me to break away from my negativity, I have been able to think clearer and focus on improving. I've been able to receive the help I need because I'm able to openly express my thoughts.
Easy to talk to. Listens and offer guidance.
Matthew is a great listener and frames things very well. Great insight and knowledge. Listens and respons and provides thoughts and strategies to think moving forward. I highly recommend him. He's helped my thinking so much.
Matthew has really taught me a lot this past year and a half. I always look forward to our sessions weekly. He has really taught me to stop making stories up in my head before anything actually happens. Still a work in progress but he pushes me to continue to do that. He is blunt and honest and will tell me exactly what I need to hear without sugar coating anything. That right there is what makes him a very good therapist! I have been with many and he is the first one to tell me like it is and he is always right. He does a great job knowing what will happen before it even happens, especially when I think he is wrong. haha. Having to admit that I was wrong is a lot harder than just doing it right in the first place. I appreciate Matthew and everything that he has helped me with. I wouldn't be where I am today had I not reached out for help when I needed it. Thank you, Matthew, for hanging in there with me. I know it has been quite the adventure!!
I've just recently began working with Matthew and from the first session he changed my way of thinking and my attitude towards problems its early days but makes me feel very comfortable and helpful to getting me on the right track
Matthew is so attentive and caring. I just started working with him a little over a week ago and I can already see improvements in myself. I would 10/10 recommend working with Matthew if possible.
I have been seeing Matt for over 2 years now. At the start I was an emotional mess, all over the place and unstable in myself and my self-worth.
Now I’ve built self-confidence, am clear on my values, and the values I will accept from others. Matt has helped me recognise toxic traits, and although I can’t remove the people who exhibit these traits from my life for various reasons- he helps me navigate the complexities of these relationships.
On a personal note; My lifestyle is not the norm- I identify as polyamorus (multiple partners, with not all relationships of a sexual nature) - which Matt is able to comprehend, and provide appropriate support without resorting to “text book answers” or judging me for my lifestyle choices and relationship structure.
Matthew Miller has been such an amazing therapist. He truly helped me beyond my expectations of what I initially started therapy for. He is direct and always knows the right thing to say and was able to keep me asking myself the right questions and remembering my intentions.
Matthew’s approach entails both a sensible worldview and practical, “actionable” behaviors for personal development. He is a no-nonsense person coupled with compassionate concern and I absolutely appreciate such authenticity. I am grateful to have him in my corner and look forward to our sessions.
Matthew is so great he listens challenges my negative thoughts and makes me feel human he has helped realize my parents are no who I thought they were I am starting to look forward to being alive and see reasons to keep going he has helped me realize I'm alive and am capable of making my own decisions
Really great listener and observer. Understanding and straight to the point. Had nothing but a great experience with Matthew
He’s awesome!
Matthew has helped me tremendously. I was looking for a therapist with whom I could be myself, and feel comfortable sharing anything. What I also appreciated about Matthew's approach was that it felt authentic, and not overly sugar-coated. I could ask his opinion and he would give it to me, as is. He challenged me in many ways and helped me go through some important changes in my life and feel a lot more confident. I hope to keep connecting with Matthew in the future. He has been my best experience with therapy so far. I highly recommend his services. Thank you, Matthew!
Matthew helped me turn my life around through identifying and dissecting all the roots of my issues. From someone who has had no prior experience before teencounseling.com, my mind is forever set that everyone should see a therapist at least once in their lifetime, and I credit Matthew for that. Thank you for everything.
Matthew does a wonderful job working with people. He has helped me through my nephew's suicide and he definitely saved our marriage
Fantastic therapist, on another level!
excellent therapist
I am relatively new to therapy, and was pretty unsure about the whole thing. Matthew made me feel comfortable, heard, and had some very helpful insights. 10/10
Loved talking to Matthew :)
Matthew has already made me feel a little stronger.
I am knee to therapy and talking to people about my problem. But I'm glad Matthew is my first. He is very relatable and very understanding my dilemmas.
Anyone would be lucky to have him.
Matthew is very easy to connect to and challenges my perspectives in a thought-provoking manner. I look forward to talking to him on a weekly basis.
Matt is excellent , he is the best therapist I have ever had.
10/10
Helpful, funny, and a great therapist! Helps put issues into perspective, and help for moving through obstacles.
An amazing therapist, very easy to talk to very understanding. Unfortunately due to my schedule we couldn’t have that many sessions but the sessions we did have were extremely helpful
He has not lived my experience; would prefer to talk with someone who has, but he's sensitive to me, asks thoughtful questions. He' s doing well foe me.
Matt cuts through the tangled mess I made of my own psyche and gets to the heart of the matter every single time. He does this easily and with a good sense of humour.
Matthew has been instrumental in my child’s handling of challenging personal and social issues.
i can’t quantify the amount of appreciation i have to the universe for bringing this therapist and process into my life, especially at this time. i’ve had a few therapists in my life from when i was younger to now 36 and i’ve never felt more seen, and my experiences more protected. im not only given sound; thoughtful advice through the biggest life changing event of my life but by above and beyond imo step by step guidance and empowerment to step into the role of doing that all on my own when i’m not speaking one on one with them. I’m very grateful matthew chose this path in life and all the people that will benefit from it as i have.
He helps me in ways I had never imagined!
As cliché as it may sound, Matthew saved our marriage. Of course we did the work, but he gave us the tools, and opened her eyes to so many realities that we did not know existed. We are so thankful.
Very kind and caring and straightforward
He’s really helped me with
Perfect fit for me
Matthew has been very helpful with this heartbreaking journey.
He gave me the confidence to make steps towards growth :) I'll never forget the support he's offered me these past few months. He's a wonderful therapist that I can't recommend enough
Matthew has been a breath of fresh air. He’s really helped to provide concepts and thoughts that ground us. He’s also very real with his advice and guidance.
Matt is great! He's helped me see things from new perspectives which truly helps me approach my relationships in a more effective manner. I really enjoy working with him.
Matt is the best therapist I've had in years! He makes me feel so comfortable and really knows how to get through to me and make me understand myself and how to get better.
can’t think of a review right now but its is amazing, working with matthew (:
I am a newer client but I'm excited to be working with Matthew! I was blown away at how specific his background and education was to what I was hoping for in a therapist. I'm so happy I found teencounseling.com, I really feel like this will be pivotal for me!! Thank you to everyone involved, especially Matthew!!!
He does a really great job at making you feel comfortable.
Great guy and great advice!
Great Experience!
If you're lucky enough to have him as a therapist - Matthew is capable of understanding people on a deep level even from the first session.
My experience with the sessions were enlightning and he made me feel comfortable speaking about my concerns even if I have anxiety and even if the topic in discussion might have been heavy. He uses talking strategies which make you aware of your train of thoughts, which are extremely helpful to fully understand yourself and what's going on around you.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you again Matthew for all your help. You helped me to identify and prioritise what is (really) worthwhile
He really helps ease my mind about my problems. He makes me laugh and I always feel good after our sessions.
Matthew has been a phenomenal resource who creates an open and welcoming atmosphere. By far the best therapist I’ve worked with.
Matching with Matthew felt like a miracle. I spent 8 years struggling to find a good therapist. He listens and encourages me to talk, I always struggled with therapy because I don’t know what to say but his energy makes him so easy to talk to. He has a way of identifying my anxieties before I can even identify them myself and provides me with real and effective coping skills for my anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Before Matthew I would go months without talking to my therapist but I find myself wanting to schedule with him every other week and looking forward to it. Incredibly smart and as a bonus hes funny. When I talk to my friends about therapy they tell me they are jealous that I have such an amazing therapist. I can’t express how grateful I am to have finally found a truly good and caring therapist.
Matthew is so awesome! He's helped me teencounseling.com confidence and motivation. He's a great listener and even if we get off topic, he always brings us back to the original topic. It feels like you're talking to a friend and he's really rooting for you. Definitely definitely recommend using his service!!
i literally love my therapist, they give me the run down and has been the reason ive been able to feel inspired and motivated and hear other perspectives. 10/10.
Very helpful, personable, and a straight shooter. Addresses and talks through concerns. Grateful I found a therapist that has been super great in listening and working as a team with me.
Matthew consistently challenged me in ways that have helped me to grow.
He sincerely has helped me so much in the fight to get over the largest obstacle I've had - myself. I can feel myself growing as a person and I'm glad to have Matthew's guidance
Totally awesome councilor, listens to all my concerns and is slowly helping me to start loving myself again.
Very supportive
Matthews a really good listener, he takes what I’m saying into consideration. Even if it goes off topic he acknowledges it, and then brings me back to the original point so that we can figure it out. He makes it so much easier to understand what I’m feeling.
Matthew has an excellent skills with: putting things into perspective, working through trauma with problem solving, letting you (the client/patient) talk freely and openly without fear of judgement.
Matthew has been a savior to my life at this time.
Matthew Miller was great. Amazing that he picked up on things like he did. Gave me permission to feel what I was feeling (permission I wasnt granting myself) and also gave me permission to let stuff go that wasnt my stuff. Still shaking my head at how simple yet powerful our sessions were.
Matthew is a very intelligent and humble person for your needs and concerns of what you discuss. He is a very honest and strong support to your life and very good guidance person for what you want and need in your life.
Matthew takes time to understand the problems you are facing and does his best to let you know he’s hearing you and will sometimes provide suggestions.
Made me think about things in a different way, very helpful to get me out of my head!
Matthew seems to know just what to say to make me reassess my situation and re-orientate myself towards my goals.
Great counselor. Helped me a lot.
Having the ability to connect with Matthew was everything to me. He helped me understand, he listened and gave me tools navigate through my issues.
He is absolutely amazing! He is funny, compassionate, and down to earth!
