Matthew Williams is a clinical herbalist with an advanced degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. His work stems from a deep desire to help people overcome physical and emotional challenges.

Matthew was raised near Seoul, South Korea where he learned to prepare traditional herbal medicine from his maternal grandparents. This experience sparked a lifelong passion for using natural medicine to create balance and promote a healthy harmony of mind and body.

Matthew is a master herbalist and he offers herbal consultations as well as creates customized teas, tinctures, and traditional Chinese formulas.

Matthew creates treatment plans informed by his holistic and biomedical background. Based on presenting issues, patients may receive an integration of acupressure, Tui Na massage, cupping, herbal remedies, and Chinese dietary therapy.

I utilize a client centered, humanistic and eclectic approach, incorporating various techniques and modes of treatment. Some of these include Verbal Psychotherapy, Art Therapy, DBT, Body Centered Therapy, Mindfulness skills, Outdoor Education, Guided Imagery, and Conflict Resolution.

Working within the therapeutic relationship, I help clients gain a better understanding of and ability to manage their struggles. I received my Masters Degree from New York University in Art Therapy, incorporating Counseling studies, and am licensed in Colorado.

I have been practicing for the past 13 years. My areas of specialty and focus includes Eating Disorders, Self Harm, Trauma, PTSD, Grief and Loss, Abuse, Depression, Self Esteem/Personal Empowerment, Anxiety/Stress, and Transitions. I also run a variety of groups for Women and Adolescents.

I've been in private practice for over 10 years and also present nationally on the topic of Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy. I specialize in a number of areas including sugar/food issues, bipolar disorder, OCD and snxiety disorders.

I have personal experience with a debilitating sugar/food addiction and have recovered using mindfulness and other modalities. I have co-authored the book, "Break Out Of The Sugar Prison: You Can Overcome Sugar Addiction With the Powerful Basic States Mindfulness System and A Cutting Edge Nutritional Program."

My work involves a deep personal commitment to growing through grief. Specifically, I've developed a short-term therapeutic intervention intended to diminish suffering by expanding stories. It can be experienced independent of, or in collaboration with, ongoing individual psychotherapy. Whatever your losses, sustained or on the horizon, the meaning you make of them requires a capacity to create that, often elusive, 'new normal'. Through a brief process ( 6-12 sessions) we will engage in a collaborative effort to explore new perspectives, aiming to reveal the stories your loss has yet to tell. Ultimately, we will formulate our understandings through a concrete, creative project that memorializes what we discover. I believe that it is not suffering, but meaningless suffering, that defeat us...We can use our suffering to move us forward.
