At Mind Body Balance Counseling, we believe in a holistic approach to mental health care. We focus on treating the whole person to promote lasting well-being. Our comprehensive treatment philosophy integrates the mind and body, recognizing the crucial interplay between diet, lifestyle, and stress management in mental health. By addressing these foundational elements first, we create a solid base where cognitive restructuring can happen. This also provides support for effective coping mechanisms to be built.
We collaborate with clients to develop personalized care plans. Because of the well rounded approach, these include customized nutritional guidance, lifestyle adjustments, and stress reduction techniques. Once these essential aspects are in place, we work together to explore and restructure cognitive patterns. Our goal is to foster healthier thinking and emotional responses.
Ultimately, our goal is to empower clients with the tools they need to lead balanced, fulfilling lives. We provide a supportive, compassionate environment where whole-body wellness is the priority. We strive to help each person achieve optimal mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Matthew Reed, MA LAC, Owner
As a military veteran, former first responder, husband, and father, Matthew’s diverse background provides him the ability to create a unique approach to mental health. He involves mental coping strategies and diet and lifestyle changes, directly impacting neurologic function. Specializing in trauma and relationships, Matthew recognizes how addressing and dealing with real, emotional wounds can profoundly transform the way we connect with others. He uses a variety of therapies, primarily EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients overcome their struggles. Coming from a prior profession that held a negative view toward addressing mental health, Matthew understands the stark difference between ignoring and “dealing” with things. He believes that approaching them with an open mind is the way for peace and healing. He provides a comfortable environment for even the most hesitant client allowing them to share their struggles to find peace.
Matthew loves what he does and wants to help as many as he can. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions you have!
