About

My name is Matthew Varrette

As a registered psychotherapist with a Master's in Social Work, I started Community Conex in 2012 with a heartfelt commitment to compassionate mental health and addiction support. My professional path is significantly influenced by my personal experience as a father of a neurodivergent child, which has profoundly shaped my understanding of individual strengths and resilience.

 

I'm passionate about complex mental health challenges and have specialized expertise in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. My clinical approach is creative and adaptive—I'm especially excited about innovative therapeutic methods, including my research on using tabletop role-playing games as an engaging way to address anxiety. I aim to create a supportive, collaborative space where clients can explore their challenges, develop new strategies, and uncover their innate capacity for growth.

Choosing a Therapist 

Rock Balancing

Above all else, it is important on your journey of connecting with a therapist to ask some important questions:

 

1.  How many years have they practiced one-to-one therapy, couple, or group therapy?​

2. How many clients have they successfully treated with this issue and modality?​

3. Do they access or work under a clinical supervisor? ​

4. Can they outline the typical treatment plan they run/use for this issue? ​

5. How many sessions does it typically take to work through this issue? ​

6. What are their strengths and limitations as a psychotherapist?​

7. What is their general philosophy and approach to helping? Are they more directive or guiding?

 

Feel free to ask these questions during out initial consultation, and to any other practitioner. Having confidence in your therapist is a key component in finding a good fit!
