About Matthew
I have found that personal counselling has offered me some comfort and tools that have helped me move forward. Having previously worked as a first responder in a correctional facility, I have also observed the effects PTSD has had on my colleagues. As I progress through my career, I keep being drawn towards a helping type of role and find that a career in counselling may be my ideal career path.
When and why did Matthew join Alongside You?
I am a new intern with Alongside You! I am excited to complete my internship and earn my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University.
How does Matthew relax when he is outside of work?
Go for walks, hikes, spend time with friends and family, and spend lots of time with my daughter doing crafts, going to the beach and just trying to have fun outdoors.
What does Matthew consider to be the most important value?
I place a high value on being honest with those around me.
