Matthew J. McLain, LMSW

Matthew is currently accepting new clients. He approaches therapy with the belief that every person carries within them a living story—one composed of struggle and strength, loss and renewal. He views each client not as a collection of symptoms or past experiences, but as a whole, evolving being with the capacity for growth, meaning, and transformation.

​

In his work with clients, Matthew fosters a genuine, compassionate connection and creates a safe space where individuals feel deeply seen, heard, and understood. His approach is warm, reflective, and grounded in existential and humanistic perspectives, drawing upon both philosophy and psychology to help clients explore what it means to live authentically and in alignment with their values. Matthew aims to help clients rediscover their sense of agency, clarify what truly matters to them, and move toward a life that feels more intentional and whole.

​

He works primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and self-esteem challenges, and holds a special interest in supporting those who experience trichotillomania. His therapeutic style is collaborative and deeply personal—meeting clients where they are while helping them move toward where they wish to be.

​

Matthew recognizes that beginning therapy can feel daunting, but he views it as a powerful act of courage and self-respect. Whether someone is seeking healing, clarity, or a renewed sense of meaning, he is honored to walk beside them on that journey.

​

Matthew earned his Master’s in Social Work from the University of Arkansas and his Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Philosophy from SUNY Oneonta. He completed his clinical fieldwork in a rural community mental health clinic and homeless shelter, where he provided psychoeducation groups and individual counseling. Matthew currently works as a therapist under the supervision of Dr. Elisa M. Harris.
