What Professionals Are Saying About Matthew Lindgren

Here are some of the things that professionals say about my work:

"Matt is a knowledgeable, highly skilled and ethical therapist. I am very comfortable referring adoptive children and families to Matt to help them work through attachment related issues and early childhood trauma. Matt’s humble, non-intimidating approach helps his clients feel safe and empowered as they work through difficulties of the past. Having consulted with Matt on various therapeutic modalities and interventions, I am most confident in his abilities to help his clients have a corrective, healing experience in a safe environment.

- Alexis Stricker, LCSW, Adoptions Specialist

"Matthew is an incredible therapist, especially when working with kids or with anyone with a history of trauma. He is also a wonderful colleague; one of those rare people who doesn't speak unless he has something to say and when he speaks it is worth listening carefully. His sensitivity, warmth and sense of humor build strong relationships with clients as well as with peers. I recommend him most highly!”

- Jeannie Wolitzer, Marriage and Family Therapist

“Matt is an excellent therapist who worked for Impulse Treatment Center seeing clients for major trauma. Many, if not most, of his clients were abused and needed special care (one of Matt's specialties is EMDR). He is a man of integrity who has helped many people without resources out of the goodness of his heart. I recommend him.” 

- Don Matthews, Clinical Director, Impulse Treatment Center, Northern California's largest treatment facility for sex and love addiction.

“Matt is a clinician of integrity with solid clinical skills. His understanding of and appreciation for therapeutic clinical boundaries helps to create a safe therapeutic framework. I would not hesitate to refer patients/clients to him for that sort of work, trauma work, or EMDR. I implicitly trust his judgment and have full confidence in his ability to create a safe environment for clinical dilemmas.”

- Bob Carrere, Ph.D., President, Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California (PINC)
