matty jernigan, LCSW

Howdy!

My name is Matty. My therapeutic style prioritizes client strengths, your inherent knowledge of your lived experience, collaboration, and connection. I am a licensed social worker that utilizes an eclectic toolkit rooted in anti-oppressive and trauma-informed care. I have experience working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma, life transitions, and identity formation.

I appreciate all the knowledge and work it took you to get this far. It is my goal that we engage in a healing process that you will experience as safe, free of judgment, occasionally humorous, and always kind. I know you understand that our current systems are unsustainable and harmful. Therapy alone may not be able to abolish these systems, but by working on ourselves, we can be better equipped to engage fully in community toward building a more loving world.

I am currently conducting services via telehealth. If you would like to inquire about working with me, you can reach me at
