Henry "Hank" Matthews

Henry “Hank” Matthews has been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2005 and holds the credential VA LPC 0701003879, indicating his license to practice in Virginia. He brings 20 years of experience to his work, which includes his counseling internship and two decades of direct clinical practice.

His early clinical focus was in the field of addiction, and that foundation led him to extensive work with couples on a variety of relationship concerns. He also focuses on building self-esteem and self-confidence, and on helping people manage depression and anxiety. When needed, he assists clients in identifying and addressing grief, loss, and patterns of codependency.

Hank approaches counseling as a place to validate feelings and concerns, expand response options, and encourage new insight. He believes every individual and every couple has both strengths and challenges, and that confronting and working through those challenges supports better quality of life and stronger relationships. He also holds the view that people who sincerely want to change and are willing to act differently are capable of meaningful change.

He offers support, resources, and encouragement while learning and growing alongside clients. He welcomes the opportunity to walk with individuals and couples through change, and he acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help. His thoughts, prayers, and brotherly love accompany his work with those he serves.
