Matthew Poje

Matthew Poje, LPCC, LPC, is a clinician who focuses on trauma-related concerns, addictions, grief, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. He also attends to fatherhood issues, first responder concerns, veteran and armed forces matters, and post-traumatic stress. His work incorporates the Instinctual Trauma Response method, which he integrates alongside other trauma-focused approaches and motivational techniques.

Poje holds licenses in California and Wisconsin and brings two decades of professional experience to his practice. His background includes work with veterans through Department of Defense contracts, and he uses screening tools as part of initial and ongoing assessment. He does not perform formal diagnostic testing and does not provide letters for employers or court systems.

In sessions he emphasizes structured, method-based work rather than traditional talk therapy alone. Prospective clients are invited to review available introductory materials about the Instinctual Trauma Response approach prior to scheduling so they know what to expect from the method and the practical steps it involves.
