Matt Bolton, MSW, RCSWI

Hello there! I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you. I hold bachelor's and master’s degrees in psychology (2019 and 2021) and a master’s degree in clinical social work (2025). I’m also a doctoral candidate in psychology. Outside of work, when I’m not spending time with my girlfriend I enjoy reading and writing, playing the bass guitar, and photography.

I enjoy working with teenagers and adults and have previously supported people as a crisis counselor, high school social worker, private practice therapist, and in a residential program for intellectually disabled and other neurodivergent adults. Some challenges with which I’ve assisted people include anger management; anxiety; bullying; depression; compassion; self-esteem; grief and loss; the aftermath of interpersonal violence and sexual abuse; trauma; burnout, work-life balance, and stress; parenting; shame; personal growth and life-stage transitions; caregiving for the elderly; and family and relationship problems. I’m passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals, to which work I bring autistic-ADHD lived experience, as well as LGBTQ community members.

I work in a way that’s relational, compassionate, sensitive, collaborative, empowering, curious, considerate of your strengths. In assessing problems, I consider how people are affected by their environments and strive to cultivate a warm, nonjudgmental, safe therapeutic space where they feel able to be themselves. I believe all people have the capacity for growth and the ability to achieve their life goals, and that each person is the expert on their own life. I look forward to working with you!
