About My Clients
Hi, I’m Matt Carrillo. Based in the heart of Houston, Texas near Memorial Park, I’m dedicated to helping folks thrive. I bring a pretty unique blend of experience to the table: before diving headfirst into my passion for psychology, I spent 20 years in HR management and executive administration. Today, I use that well-rounded background to support a diverse set of clients offering both in person and telehealth sessions. My ultimate goal is simple: to help folks live easier.
My Background and Approach
As a licensed counselor, I working from a trauma-informed and person-centered perspective I creatively work with clients through blending several evidence based modalities such as solution focused, cognitive behavior, emotionally focused, and relational therapy. I’m also trained to provide eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I work with folks with unique and shared stories but find most rewarding helping folks navigate all things LGBT, life transitions, caregiving, workplace dynamics, launching into adulthood, relationships, grief, career changes, stress, and balance.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
What I find most intriguing about my work is the complicated simplicity of what folks need. More than advice, folks seek and need understanding. They need to be seen and heard, really seen and heard. They want and need to feel validated. They are curious why the past doesn’t always stay buried and pops back up from time to time. And, self-compassion is powerful; it’s a key to real change. As a seasoned fellow human, we are never as alone as we think. Healing and thriving is always possible.
