Justin Matthews, LICSW
Anxiety & OCD Therapist
You might be exhausted from the constant tug-of-war with anxiety—analyzing how you feel, worrying something is wrong, or avoiding situations because you’re not sure how you’ll handle them.
I know what it’s like to feel trapped in anxiety’s grip because I’ve been there myself. My own experience with anxiety shapes the practical, straightforward way I help clients get unstuck.
I specialize in helping adults with anxiety, OCD, panic, agoraphobia, and fear of flying stop organizing their lives around anxiety and start moving toward what matters to them.
As both a therapist and former Air Force flight engineer, I also bring a unique perspective to treating fear of flying—combining an understanding of anxiety with firsthand aviation experience.
My Approach to Anxiety & OCD Therapy
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!"
