Matthew Hammond

I became a therapist because I believe we can all find greater clarity and peace when we have the support, time, and space to explore and reflect on our existence. My goal is to cultivate a place where you can safely experiment and expand your perspectives — developing greater flexibility in how you respond to whatever life throws your way. Drawing on your unique culture, identities, and experiences, I work to support you in building a deeper awareness of where you've come from, where you are, and what your next steps might look like. We are co-travelers in this complex world, and I would be honored to be a collaborative ally on your path to cultivating a fulfilling life. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Portland State University and a Master of Arts in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark College's Graduate School of Education and Counseling, a CACREP-accredited program. I am a Professional Counselor Associate in Oregon, operating under the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists and its Code of Ethics, with ongoing continuing education each year. To maintain registered Professional Counselor Associate status, I participate in clinical supervision with Krystal Marcinkiewicz, MA, LPC (OR & GA), LMHC (WA), as permitted by licensing regulations. I provide empirically based, non-judgmental counseling in a space that is inclusive of cultures, beliefs, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, body sizes, and stages of life.
