Matthew Luc, MSW, LSW
Matthew is a relational, strengths based, and insight oriented therapist who believes healing happens through connection. They work with adults of all backgrounds and identities, especially with LGBTQIA2S+ and Disabled individuals, as well as support clients in monogamous, non-monogamous, and polyamorous relationships. Their approach to therapy is affirming and liberation focused – grounded in meeting you ‘where you are’ while helping you move toward where you want to be.
Matthew earned their Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University and practices from a framework that acknowledges intersectionality, systemic influences, minority stress, and the impact of oppression on mental health and identity. They affirm and celebrate diversity in all its forms and are committed to creating a space where clients feel genuinely seen, respected, and understood.
Their style is collaborative and healing centered, tailored to each individual. Drawing from strengths based therapy, relational approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Interpersonal Therapy, Matthew integrates practical tools with deeper reflection and insight. They believe therapy is not about ‘fixing’ you. It is about building awareness, strengthening resilience, and developing agency so you can navigate life with greater clarity and confidence.
Clients often experience Matthew as warm, inviting, caring, and supportive. They balance professionalism with authenticity and use humor when it helps create ease and connection. They believe growth can happen in a space that feels both steady and human. Therapy with Matthew is a partnership built on trust, curiosity, and meaningful progress.
Outside of their clinical work, Matthew finds restoration in creativity, animals, and nature. They love horses and horseback riding and share their life with two miniature mules, Mike and Molly. They also have cats and dogs who bring both joy and lively energy to daily life. Creative expression is an important part of their self care, whether through watercolor painting, sewing, crochet, or playing guitar. They enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hiking and being in nature, which helps them stay grounded and connected. In quieter moments, they enjoy reading and embracing stillness.
Matthew strives to make therapy a space that feels affirming, collaborative, and empowering. You deserve a place where you can show up as your authentic self and feel supported in your healing and growth. If you are looking for a therapist who brings warmth, insight, humor, and a deep respect for your lived experience, they welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.
