About Matthew Manz

Canadian Certified Counsellor #11245693 and Iowa Licensed Mental Health Counselor #080281. As a licensed therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding the unique challenges of personal growth, with a particular focus on depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem development.

I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing workplace stress, communication difficulties, family challenges, and life transitions. My therapeutic style is deeply empathetic, creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore personal struggles, work through guilt and shame, and develop healthier coping strategies.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I’m committed to helping clients build resilience, improve interpersonal relationships, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. Whether you’re dealing with codependency, separation, or family of origin issues, I also work with those considering divorce. I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with respect and understanding.

My practice welcomes individuals seeking a thoughtful, progressive approach to mental health that honors your personal journey and unique experiences.

“Matthew has been amazing. From my very first session to my most recent session this week. He has been very prompt for every session and is very accommodating. I feel very comfortable in our conversations and would recommend him to anyone using Better Help!”

“Matthew is wonderful. From talking about my own problems to issues that plague society as a whole, he's always great at listening and providing context for my thoughts and feelings. Thank you Matthew!”

“I am so grateful to have found Matthew. I feel heard and supported all the way through my sessions. I have never been happier with a therapist and I look forward to my sessions every week. Matthew is highly professional and knowledge and I highly recommend this service to everyone.”

“Very good listener and motivator - what I find is the best way to motivate me he does well by reminding me to not deviate from my primary goal!”

“It has only been three sessions but Matthew has already got to some very astute insights and observations. I'm very much enjoying working with him to find out more. Very much recommended.”

“Matthew was a great at understanding my needs and listening. Gave great advice and helped me a lot in my time of need. Hopefully be back soon.”

“Great and easy to talk to”

“Matthew was the perfect Therapist to match me to, that process definitely works well. It was a huge relief to talk with him since day 1, and we covered a lot! The pace was not rushed though and really the whole process was just so easy. For one thing it made a huge difference in dealing with work related stress in my day to day. I couldn't recommend Matthew more.”

“Matthew is an exceptional therapist. 10/10 would reccommend.”

“During my relationship crisis, Matthew is always warm and helped me navigate the issue in a better perspective. He is knowledgable and very experienced. He knows how to make the patient feel welcoming to open up. I learned a lot from this two months of journey. This is my first therapy experience ever, and he made me understand the beauty and the kindness that therapy can offer to people. I strongly recommend him.”
