Unique Matthews(She/Her/Hers)

Unique specializes in providing therapy for individuals and couples experiencing depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and grief. She works with teens and adults who are navigating emotional overwhelm, identity exploration, and life stressors, as well as couples seeking support with communication challenges, relational conflict, and emotional disconnection. Her clinical work emphasizes creating meaningful change through insight, skill development, and emotional awareness.

Unique takes a collaborative and individualized approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. In her work with couples, she integrates the Gottman Method to support healthier communication, increased emotional intimacy, and strengthened relational foundations. Across all areas of her practice, Unique is committed to providing thoughtful, evidence based care within a supportive and professional therapeutic environment.

In her work with couples, Unique draws from Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1 trained) and Relational Life Therapy to support partners in improving communication, rebuilding trust, and creating stronger emotional connections. She helps couples identify unhelpful interaction cycles, develop effective conflict-resolution skills, and foster deeper intimacy. Her approach balances structure with compassion, allowing couples to feel supported while engaging in meaningful change. In her work with individuals, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based approaches, along with compassion‑focused techniques to support meaningful, sustainable change.
