Awakened Soul Therapy
Holistic Person-Centered Care
Meet Matt Box, LICSW
Holistic Psychotherapist
Welcoming you to your inner healing journey. I'm Matthew Box, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the field of community mental health. With the creation of my own practice, my mission is to help guide individuals on their path towards increased balance and self-compassion. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their quest for optimal health and well-being. By combining evidence-based practices with the wisdom of ancient healing traditions, I strive to create a safe and compassionate space where individuals can explore their inner selves, heal past wounds, and cultivate resilience.
​
With a strong foundation in substance recovery and trauma-informed care, I have dedicated my own learning and experiences to helping others navigate the complexities of their own lives layer by layer. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, recognizing the unique challenges of this transitional phase of life and the transformative experiences that help shape our identities in adulthood.
​
I utilize an integral approach of mindfulness/meditation practices and self-dialogue reflection explored through motivational interviewing lens, to help empower individuals to cultivate self-awareness while identifying & developing coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and depression. Helping individuals incorporate these skills through therapy can be transformative to our everyday lives.
​
Throughout my career, I have witnessed the power of holistic modalities of healing. In addition to my clinical work, I have explored and continue to train in various alternative methods of healing to complement traditional therapy. Some of these include Reiki, Shamanic journeying, Meditation and Breathwork, as well as exploring the uses of essential oils and herbal healing protocols. This has allowed me to expand and personalize my approach to healing - addressing Mind, Body, Spirit, and of course the Soul.

What is Holistic Therapy?
Holistic therapy, also sometimes referred to as holistic psychotherapy or body-centered psychotherapy, is an integrative type of therapy that incorporates both traditional and non-traditional treatments to help the individual as a whole.
Rather than focusing on a narrow problem, it considers mental, physical, social, and spiritual factors that influence a person's well-being and seeks to help people heal and thrive on a deeper level.
Holistic therapy combines aspects of traditional talk therapy and non-traditional approaches, including hypnosis, breath work, and meditation.
What Holistic Therapy Can Help With
Holistic therapy may be helpful in the treatment of a number of different psychological conditions. Some of these include:
Addictions
Anxiety
Depression
Trauma
Emotional difficulties
Family problems
Stress
Work-Related Problems
Since Holistic therapy seeks to heal the person as a whole, it may be most helpful for problems that do not have a single, definable cause or those that affect multiple areas of a person's life.
