About Sidebar Counseling
We all want our lives to be meaningful.
We want to make a difference. We want to be productive. We want to achieve goals, pursue knowledge, develop skills, and be valued. What we do for work and how we do it has a profound impact on how we meet these needs.
But sometimes things get in the way.
Sidebar Counseling helps working professionals manage their mental health, navigate their careers, and sustain a sense of wellness at work and at home. Founded by Matt Shin, an attorney-turned-therapist, the practice was born from his firsthand experience with the demands of the legal field. After overcoming his own challenges with anxiety, burnout, and depression, Matt transitioned into the mental health field and devoted his career to supporting other working professionals facing similar challenges.
Using tailored approaches that integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic, and solution-focused therapy along with peer-reviewed research on mental health, wellness, and resilience, all services reflect evidence-based, effective strategies for lasting change.
