Matt Sato LMSW, LSW he/him

Associate Therapist

With a background in business, higher education administration, and policy, I bring a systems-oriented approach to the clinical support that I offer my clients. My therapeutic style is very client-forward, and I’m passionate about helping my clients better understand themselves within the context of their environment and the larger social context. I’m particularly passionate about supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, and addressing the unique cultural and intergenerational dynamics that can shape their mental health experiences. My professional background offers me a unique perspective on the mental health needs of young professionals transitioning into the workforce, college-age and graduate school populations, and those navigating career changes or other major life transitions. Feel free to reach out for a consultation – I look forward to our work together!
