Matt Youngberg, LPC

Matt Youngberg, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), brings a practical, goal-oriented style to therapy that draws on a diverse professional background. With eight years of clinical experience and more than a decade working as an educator, he has also served as an offenders counselor and a community mental health counselor, blending those roles into an eclectic approach that selects effective strategies from multiple therapeutic traditions. He favors a no-nonsense stance that aims to identify core problems quickly and move toward tangible solutions, while remaining respectful, sensitive, and compassionate in his work.

Matt often challenges clients to deepen their self-awareness and to confront difficult patterns, offering direct feedback and structured guidance. He works with people facing relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, anger issues, and difficulties with self-esteem, and he also addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and midlife transitions. He is experienced supporting both men and women through issues around self-love and identity, and he has particular interest in couples counseling and domestic violence matters.

Availability is limited - he is taking only a handful of clients and currently offers 45-minute sessions at 7, 8, 9, or 10pm on Tuesdays. He acknowledges that this schedule may not work for everyone and expresses appreciation for those beginning the work of change. Outside of practice, he enjoys games, athletic activities, and serving at Life.Church.
