Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve tried therapy before and felt like it didn’t quite click. My approach is active, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens when we learn new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to our emotions—not just talking about them.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a trauma-informed lens, specializing in addiction, women’s issues, adolescents, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience supporting parents and individuals impacted by a loved one’s substance use, including navigating boundaries, codependency, burnout, and complicated emotions such as guilt, fear, and grief.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel accepted, understood, and gently challenged to grow. Many clients tell me they appreciate that our work goes beyond listening alone—we focus on learning practical skills and applying them to real-life situations.
I also have a background in Christianity and am comfortable integrating faith and spirituality into therapy when desired by the client. I respect each person’s beliefs and values and approach spiritual topics with openness, curiosity, and sensitivity.
I have been practicing 25 years. I have walked the path of life and its difficulties through lived experience
Congratulations on taking the first steps toward a happier and healthier life! It can be difficult to reach out and ask for support and I am here to help you see this as a sign of strength, not weakness. If you are feeling stuck in the past, overwhelmed with life, or working toward ridding yourself of an unhealthy habit I am here to help.
I’m Matt Larock and I’m a licensed clinical therapist and a licensed clinical addiction counselor in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing trauma treatment and I’m also a certified nature-based coach. In a former life, I owned a 300-seat restaurant for 14 years. I’m no stranger to stress and addiction.
I help my clients navigate the challenges that have had them stuck for just a few months or stuck for over a few decades.
I work with men, women, teens, young adults and parents who want to stop white knuckling their way through life’s difficulties and get the tools to make changes that stick for the long haul.
I help men and women of all ages who have challenges with substance abuse, I help parents of struggling teens and young adults who are navigating how to help their child eventually become a thriving adult. I help young adults heal their past, take responsibility for their future and move forward in a healthy way. And I help all kinds of clients of all ages heal anxiety, trauma, stress and other difficulties.
It’s exhausting to keep trying the old way on the same issues. It’s exhausting to keep spinning your wheels. It’s exhausting to be mired in anxiety and it’s exhausting to let trauma go untreated for years and years.
