Los Angeles, California
Matthew Porter, M.A., LMFT:
Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Coach
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT 42042) in California for over two decades, I provide expert healing and recovery services to individuals, couples and youth who are experiencing mental health crises. My expertise as an Attachment-Focused EMDR trauma healing therapist enables my clients to heal and recovery from all forms of trauma, PTSD, and interpersonal attachment trauma. Additionally, I am a KAP-Certified therapist, enabling me to assist clients eligible for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy through their healing journeys.
I am also an avid Mindfulness Meditation practitioner, incorporating Mindfulness and practical coping skills derived from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to assist with regulating one's emotions, effectively navigating distress triggers and stress management, and the development and implementation of healthy interpersonal communication skills.
Transform your Personal and Professional Potential through Psychotherapy and Coaching Integration
Heal and Recover from Trauma
Integrating EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy with Mindfulness training, EMDR Resourcing, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy provides a powerful blend of skills and processes that lead to greater clarity, freedom, and drive.
Rediscover your Spark and your Truth
I offer self-paced, self-guided video tutorial courses which will accelerate your growth and learning. When coupled with counseling and coaching support and integration, you will transform your personal and professional potential through a self-development series which will provide extensive, in-depth exploration of Mindfulness and Resilience training, Integral Healing Practices, Interpersonal Health, and skills for achieving Self-Mastery and Self-Actualization.
Grow and Transform your Personal and Professional Potential
Transformational coaching will take your healing and self-exploration to new levels as you break through limitations in your beliefs, behaviors and capacity to grow and transform. Additionally, if you wish to elevate your personal and professional impact, become a Certified Coach through the Academy of Neuro-Shine Technology™ and #gogalactic!
Heal Trauma through EMDR Trauma Reprocessing Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy is an effective, safe, and transformational therapy method which provides significant relief from past trauma, painful memories and experiences, and interpersonal wounds. As a trained Attachment-Focused EMDR therapist, I am especially adept at assisting clients who have experienced interpersonal/relational trauma, whether from childhood abuse or neglect, or from adulthood relationship trauma. Incorporating EMDR Resourcing as a means for repairing and integrating trauma healing has proven to be of significant benefit to clients, both as part of EMDR work and as powerful coping skills outside of therapy.
Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills
Mindfulness Practices are simple yet profound skills for achieving increased health, balance, and self-awareness. Their integration with Dialectical Behavior Therapy offer an effective set of integral coping skills which can assist with regulating one's emotions, responding proactively to stressors, and developing interpersonal awareness and effective communication skills. As a life-long practitioner and advocate of Mindfulness and its benefits to mental health, I offer specialized training and support in developing and integrating Mindfulness-based coping skills for a wide range of mental health needs and symptoms.
Heal from Trauma, Anxiety and Depression and Rewire your Neurons through Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an emerging specialized therapeutic treatment which has powerful results in decreasing the symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma, without the need for Anti-Depressant and other long-term medication management approaches. As a Certified KAP Psychotherapist through Journey Clinical, patients are assessed and determined eligible by a Medical Professional who oversees each patient journey through KAP. As your psychotherapist partner, I provide the safety, containment, and integration for KAP sessions.
Coaching and Coach Education
As a Certified Coach and Professional Coach Educator, I offer a pathway to achieve your goals and develop self-mastery. Coaching differs from psychotherapy with its focus on maximizing your personal and professional potential though a creative and thought-provoking exploration of your beliefs, behaviors and goals, aligning your visions, values and actions with self-defined plans which elevate your growth and impact. Additionally, I provide ICF-Accredited Coach Education and a video tutorial course, Awaken Intuition and Self-Actualize, two pathways to achieve self-mastery and maximize both your personal and professional potential.
