Seeking therapy is a courageous act, and I want to thank you for taking the first step to improving your mental health and happiness by signing up with Better Help! My name is Cassie Matz, and I have been a clinical social worker for over 11 years. My passion is working with people coping with grief and loss, depression and anxiety, parenting issues, and women’s issues (including fertility, relational issues, career challenges, adjustments to parenthood, and self-esteem). I also have extensive experience working with first responders, medical professionals, and non-profit workers struggling with burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. Clients tell me they find me to be warm, open, and compassionate. I believe that creating a non-judgmental, safe relationship between therapist and client is the most important part of creating lasting change in my client’s lives. I have seen throughout my professional career that growth is possible for all people, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. You are the expert in your life story, and I will follow your lead as we work towards meeting your personal and relationship goals. Thank you for taking the first step towards a happier, more fulfilled life. I look forward to getting to know you!
