Justin Matthews, LICSW
Are you exhausted from the constant tug of war with anxiety? It’s time to drop the rope and find relief.
Years ago I suffered with anxiety too. So, I get it. And I can help.
Years ago, I was in your shoes—struggling with anxiety that seemed to control every aspect of my life.
I understand what you're going through because I've been there.
As both a therapist and former Air Force flight engineer, I help clients understand what happens during flight while teaching practical, evidence-based skills to overcome flight anxiety.
Whether you're struggling with fear of flying, panic, agoraphobia, or chronic anxiety, I'm here to help you find your way out.
If you've been caught in an endless loop of worry—where physical symptoms make you question whether something is seriously wrong, or you find yourself endlessly analyzing how you feel and wondering why this is happening—I can help.
If you've tried reading self-help books, practicing yoga, meditating, taking medication, exercising, or even talking to a therapist but still feel trapped in anxiety's grip, you've come to the right place.
Video introduction of Justin Matthews, LICSW—licensed therapist in Minnesota and Iowa—sharing his approach to anxiety, OCD, and evidence-based therapy at State of Mind Therapy.
Life Doesn't Have to Stay This Way
Imagine the relief of finally sleeping through the night, free from the constant waking and worrying. Picture yourself engaging with people again, without the nagging thought that everyone notices your anxiety.
What if you could reclaim the life you once loved—a life where laughter and meaningful connections are part of your everyday experience?
Or imagine finally boarding a plane with confidence so you can visit loved ones, take the vacation you've been dreaming about, or travel for work without fear getting in the way.
I’m committed to helping you get there, just like I did. Together, we’ll work towards bringing back the joy and freedom you deserve.
"As a colleague, I’ve always found Justin to be very insightful, reliable and authentic. These traits along with his lived experience and knowledge of aviation, make him an excellent therapist for folks struggling with: OCD; anxiety, including fear of flying; as well as related conditions. Highly recommended!"
-Dan Neumann, LICSW
