Matthew Tansey

Matthew Tansey is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health counselor in Vermont and is also certified to provide telehealth in Florida. He specializes in working with men struggling with anxiety, self-esteem and relationship difficulties. He has a further expertise in working with addictions and related challenges. Matt also supports couples to reduce conflict and increase intimacy in their relationships.

Matt is the founder of the Montpelier Therapy Co-op, a collaborative group practice based in downtown Montpelier. He maintains an office there for in-person sessions and also conducts sessions online via telehealth.

Matt's therapy approach is based around the concept of authenticity. He believes that anxiety and depression often stem from becoming distant from our emotional selves. By attuning to our emotional compasses, he believes that we can learn to live more in line with our authentic selves. By aligning ourselves with this compass, we experience less distress and feel more purpose-driven in our lives. Matt approaches sessions with compassion, humor and directness in order to help move clients more in alignment with their authentic selves.

Matt has experience in a variety of settings. He has extensive experience in the substance abuse counseling setting and has been in private practice for the past 4 years. He is also currently completing his PhD in Counseling from the University of Rochester.
