Matthew Manz, LMHC
About me
I am passionate about helping people deal with ongoing emotional struggles that they just can't seem to get past. Clients that are willing to engage the hard work of personal development by immersing themselves in the therapeutic process are my most rewarding clients with which to work. I am deeply committed to the Client-Centered Therapy approach as developed by Carl Rogers. I am passionate about addressing spiritual issues with clients as well as porn addiction. Finally, if you are looking for someone you can just talk to, I'm ready to just listen. I have a Master's in Counseling degree from Drake University, Iowa, USA. I am licensed in the state of Iowa (LMHC #080281) and I'm a Canadian Certified Counsellor (C.C.C. #11245693).

Very good listener and motivator - what I find is the best way to motivate me he does well by reminding me to not deviate from my primary goal!
