Matthew Clyde, PhD

Are you grappling with uncertainty, struggling to make sense of things, or feeling stuck in your relationships, career, or life in general? Whether you're feeling down, hopeless, anxious, or overwhelmed, you aren't alone. I'm focused on meeting you where you are in your therapy journey. By understanding your strengths, challenges, and unique perspective, we collaboratively build a flexible plan that evolves as we progress. Together, we'll navigate your past experiences, create growth, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.

With over 10 years of experience, I draw on treatments that are science-backed and actually work. I'm trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and related approaches including DBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy, always working from a trauma-informed lens. I also conduct comprehensive clinical assessments for ADHD. To be honest with you, I think two things can be true at once: therapy can be challenging and deeply rewarding, and I'll be transparent with you every step of the way about how to get the most out of our work together.

I integrate psychodynamic, interpersonal, and mindfulness-based approaches depending on what fits you best. During our first session, we'll discuss your goals and explore treatment options together so you can ask any questions or raise any concerns. I strive to understand not just the problems, but how they interact in your day-to-day life and in your relationships with friends and loved ones. Don't underestimate the value of that kind of collaborative, honest exploration.

I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Ottawa and hold an M.Sc. in Psychiatry and a B.Sc. in Psychology from McGill University. I offer therapy both in-person and virtually, with flexibility to choose what works best for you. I'm ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery with you. Take the first step and reach out.
