Matthew Schilz, MSW, MPH, SWC:
Welcome, I am Matthew Schilz, MSW, MPH, SWC. I'm a psychotherapist offering individual and couples therapy to adults and young adults across Colorado. Therapy with me is flexible and collaborative. Some sessions may involve digging into tough emotions or patterns, while others might focus on slowing down and gaining perspective. I encourage creativity in the process, whether that is drawing from music, movies, traditions, or other things that resonate with you. Therapy doesn't have to look one way, and we'll shape it together.
A bit more about my professional experiences, I've worked with immigrants, survivors of domestic violence, the LGBTQIA+ community, people affected by disasters, and unhoused folx. I have a deep-rooted belief in raising up and supporting these communities. Especially with what is happening in our world now, we must speak up and protect the communities that people are targeting.
Outside of sessions, I love learning, cooking, and trying new things. I value new experiences and am always trying to go outside my comfort zone. I especially like doing this by trying new foods. Lately, I've been loving drinking tea and learning about cultural ties to tea around the world. I am also married and a proud dog dad to two small dogs, a Havanese mix and a mini schnauzer, who keep my hands full when I'm not working.
