Matthew Lebron (he/him)

It is unfortunate that people with borderline personality disorder are so often mistreated by mental health professionals. People should not be blamed or stigmatized solely based on their maladaptive patterns of emotional expression and relating to others, especially when they are seeking help. People with borderline personality disorder will always be able to find compassion and empathy when seeking care with me.

Having studied existential therapy (Psychology degree)and existentialism (Philosophy degree), I heavily value this therapeutic modality in every psychotherapeutic context. I always speak to my clients from this perspective, and I find that clients gain meaningful insights when they participate in this philosophical stance. I even read the book on logotherapy by Viktor Frankl (highly recommended). To me, existentialism is more than just a philosophy: It is a way to navigate suffering.

I have first-hand experience with motivational interviewing and have taken several courses through the American Psychiatric Nurses Association on this therapeutic technique. Motivational interviewing is always in the foreground of my discussions with clients. Rather than tell you what you should want, I let you tell me how I can help you achieve your own goals that you identify and value already. This supportive technique/stance is integral to my approach.

Having studied existential therapy (Psychology degree) and existentialism (Philosophy degree), I rely heavily on existential principles in all of my sessions. I even read the book on logotherapy, Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning (highly recommend). I find that clients connect deeper with themselves and the solutions to their suffering when relying on the principles of this philosophy and therapeutic modality.

I have extensive experience with both substance and process addictions. Whether you identify with Sex Addicts Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholics, or don’t ascribe to any 12-step philosophy at all, I can help you with your struggle toward recovery.

Medication management for bipolar disorder looks very different for each unique individual. I have ample experience with all relevant medications, and I am confident we can find the right regimen together.

I have first-hand experience with anxiety and understand how even minor things can seem detrimental to the mental health of an anxious person.

Borderline clients welcome! You will not find any stigma here, only empathy and compassion for your struggle.
