Life Is Hard
Do you identify as a man and feel society’s expectations weighing on you? Do you avoid expressing your emotions like the plague? Are you desperately afraid of appearing vulnerable?
Let me help you become a more authentic man.
Is school or work stressing you out? Do you feel the pressure to pull-off minor miracles on a regular basis just to keep treading water? Do you find yourself neglecting self-care or time with the people you care about?
Let me help you find your work-life balance.
Are you relentlessly judgmental toward yourself? Is perfection the only standard you’re willing to accept?
What I Offer
-
Flexibility
Sometimes you get stuck in therapy. It happens. One common reason for this is the method your counselor is using just doesn’t work for you. That’s why I have training and experience in several ways of working so I can adapt to your individual needs.
-
Confidentiality
Every counselor is ethically and legally required to offer confidentiality. But thanks to my former career as a software developer, I’m able to offer a greater awareness of potential security concerns and take the extra steps necessary to keep your private data safe.
-
Inclusivity
I’m fascinated by difference. It led me to a master’s degree in English with an emphasis in gender studies. It’s led me to a heightened awareness of my privilege when interacting with others. I put a high premium on ways of working that put your experiences and cultural identity in the driver’s seat.
About Matthew Kernicky
I became a counselor after writing software for over twenty-five years because I wanted a career where I could make a direct impact on people’s lives. I have a passion for helping people just like you. That's why I made the switch to counseling in private practice.
