Attachment-based therapy in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

One-on-one therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, shame and low self-esteem.

My name is Matt Bouse. I am a licensed master social worker practicing in Ann Arbor, MI. I provide individual psychotherapy to adults experiencing anxiety, shame, low self-esteem and other attachment-related mental health concerns.

My clients often believe they are a burden to others. They think they need to be perfect to be loved and that it would overwhelm others to know how they really feel. These beliefs leave them feeling anxious, lonely, ashamed and unhappy.

People often contact me in pursuit of: better relationships; increased motivation and energy; improved sleep; a greater sense of control over their life; and the confidence to be their authentic selves. They are seeking active participation in a life that has value and meaning.

My greatest enjoyment as a therapist is seeing people learn they are capable and worthy of love - that their emotions are valid, normal and do not need to be feared or hidden away. When they understand this truth, they often get unstuck, feel greater control over their life, form secure relationships and make progress towards their goals.

In addition to in-person sessions at my downtown Ann Arbor location, I offer teletherapy to people across the state of Michigan.
