Matthew Pieknik LCSW

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, reflective, and deeply informed by the power of narrative. With a background in literature, literary theory, teaching, and counseling, I pay close attention to the stories you tell about yourself and the larger influences that have shaped your identity over time. Rather than focusing solely on diagnosis or symptom reduction, we explore the underlying patterns, beliefs, and experiences that continue to affect your life. Together, we examine what no longer serves you, challenge limiting narratives, and build a more authentic and empowering story. I create an open, affirming space where every part of your experience—including relationships, identity, and sexuality—can be explored with curiosity, respect, and compassion.
