Professional statement

Matthew Nitzberg works with individuals and couples navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, and other forms of neurodivergence. Many of the people he works with feel overwhelmed by daily stress, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or disconnected in their relationships. Matthew supports clients in slowing down, gaining clarity, and building more balanced and fulfilling ways of relating to themselves and others.

His therapeutic approach is warm, curious, and relational. Matthew believes that people often carry an intuitive understanding of what they need, but may benefit from a supportive space that allows them to explore their experiences more openly. In therapy, he blends evidence-based practices with a focus on emotional connection, communication, and personal growth. His work often centers on helping clients reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and develop tools that support lasting change.

Matthew has advanced training in couples therapy and ADHD treatment and works with both individuals and partners who want to improve communication, navigate neurodivergence, and deepen emotional understanding in their relationships. His style is collaborative and grounded, encouraging clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and patterns with curiosity rather than judgment.

He offers therapy sessions in person at the Ridgewood office of Mindful Self Therapy as well as through secure telehealth for clients located in New York. Matthew works with adults and couples seeking thoughtful, practical support as they navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth.


Message to clients

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up as you are without pressure to have everything figured out. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, but still find themselves stuck in patterns that are hard to shift on their own.

In our work together, we will slow things down and explore what is happening beneath the surface. I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and grounded in real connection. Whether you are navigating stress, relationship challenges, ADHD, or a period of transition, my hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel understood, supported, and able to move toward the kind of life and relationships you want.
