Dr. Mathew Withers, Ph.D., LMFT

Do you struggle with constant conflict or a growing sense of disconnection that affects your day-to-day relationship? Do you feel exhausted by recurring arguments, silence at the dinner table, or the thought that you’ve simply lost one another? Do you wonder, hope, or even worry that your partnership could be more loving, trusting, and supportive? Now more than ever, couples are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to sustain a healthy, fulfilling connection. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in couples therapy. I help partners who want to: • Break free from negative cycles and patterns of blame • Rebuild trust after betrayal or hurt • Deepen emotional and physical intimacy • Improve communication so both voices are heard • Navigate life transitions (parenthood, careers, caregiving, relocations) as a team. My approach blends Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with practical tools from the Gottman Method and mindfulness-based stress reduction. In our work together, you’ll learn to: • Identify the unmet needs driving conflict • Express yourself in ways that invite safety rather than defensiveness • Listen and respond in ways that foster empathy and closeness • Develop rituals of connection to keep the spark alive Whether you’re at a crossroads, recovering from a breach of trust, or simply eager to strengthen your bond, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space for growth. I spend most of my time training students in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Utah Valley University (formerly at CSU, Chico). I love working with fellow therapists, whether that is in therapy, consultation, training, or supervision. Helping couples rediscover their love for each other is my passion. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation. Let’s talk about how I can support you in rediscovering the partnership you both deserve.
