About me, Matthew Schilz, MSW, MPH, SWC:
As a therapist, my goal is to create a welcoming, safe, and reflective space by meeting you where you are. Together, we’ll co-create an environment that supports your growth. Each session is a step toward where you want to be, and it’s my privilege to hold space for that journey.
Before my current role, I worked in crisis services as both a clinician and a clinical case manager. I’ve supported survivors of domestic violence, refugees, asylum seekers, and individuals facing trauma, anxiety, and hopelessness. These experiences inform my commitment to meet clients with compassion and curiosity.
I use evidence-based approaches, including mindfulness, somatic therapy, person-centered therapy, and psychodynamic techniques. I am currently seeking training in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and continuing my training in parts work to further support healing. I am currently a contract therapist at Higher Sights Counseling.
I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and a Master of Public Health from the Colorado School of Public Health. Outside the therapy room, I work in Global Mental Health and enjoy learning and experiencing different cultures with my family.
