Is working with Matt right for you?
Healthy relationships seem impossible…
Your anxiety, depression, or ADHD make it unbearably difficult to complete simple tasks during the day…
You lose control of your anger, driving others away, ultimately leaving you shameful and alone…
You have harmful behaviors and habits that you cant stop no matter how hard you try…
You tried therapy before but felt there was not a clear direction for healing, you were just there to talk or maybe not a clear understanding of men’s mental health…
If you said yes to any of these, then you are likely a good fit… just click the button below to get started.
Welcome…I’m genuinely glad you are here!
I’m Matt and I am the therapist behind Spero Counseling. I’m a life long Tennesseean, father, husband, fly fisherman, gardener, and I think most would say a “normal dude”. I am also a male therapist in Nashville, Tennessee and I work exclusively with men around their mental and emotional health. I have extended experience working with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Relationship issues and how they present uniquely for men.
I started Spero Counseling because I found healing, fulfillment and peace were possible through therapy. My therapists gave me tools for daily life and assisted in the healing of wounds underneath my issues and I am extremely passionate about sharing that gift with other men.
What to expect from therapy
Step 1: Schedule a free therapy phone consultation so we can talk and you can get a feel for if I am the right therapist for you.
Step 2: If you are located in Nashville, you will choose either in-person sessions with a male therapist near you (Matt) or virtual therapy sessions are available for men across the state of Tennessee.
Step 3: Attend regular sessions where together we will identify goals for therapy, employ essential tools and skills for daily life, and explore the roots of your unique issues.
Step 4: Achieve healing and growth through commitment and hard work. Ultimately therapy will end and you will carry these skills forward in a more fulfilling and peaceful life.

1. Matt knows his stuff. He has taught me a lot about ADHD and working with men. 2. He is just a cool dude. Trout fishing enthusiast, bagel connoisseur- if I wasn't his friend, I would definitely want him as my therapist.

Matt guides men through counseling issues with the skill of a surgeon. His desire to see men in Nashville recover their hearts so their lives and homes can be restored is a chief principle of his practice. He sets an approachable environment for his clients to feel seen, heard, and safe. A session with Matt is a refuge from the world, an opportunity to retreat, regroup, and reclaim all those places of our hearts that have been taken.
