Therapist in Portland, Oregon Matthew Dexheimer, Therapist

Matthew Dexheimer helps teens, adults, and seniors navigate complex emotional and behavioral challenges with clarity, compassion, and practical support. Practicing at LifeStance Health, he provides individual therapy to patients across Oregon, offering a grounded and collaborative space for those seeking relief from distress and meaningful, lasting change. He works with teens ages 15–17, young adults, adults, and older adults, tailoring care to each stage of life and the unique concerns that bring someone to therapy.

Matthew is especially passionate about supporting individuals living with ADHD, anxiety, and trauma-related conditions. He understands how difficulties with focus, emotional regulation, and past traumatic experiences can affect relationships, school, work, and self-confidence. His approach emphasizes helping clients better understand their internal experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and build resilience, while also addressing co-occurring concerns such as mood instability or stress related to major life transitions. He has experience working with individuals and families connected to adoption and foster care and is attentive to how early experiences can shape current patterns.

His therapeutic style blends evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Matthew integrates these approaches to help clients strengthen emotional awareness, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and move toward values-driven action. He offers additional therapeutic strategies as needed, always prioritizing a supportive, respectful relationship that allows clients to feel safe while being appropriately challenged.

Matthew has been practicing since 2010 and brings a steady, thoughtful presence to his work. Outside of therapy, he enjoys exploring Oregon’s outdoors by hiking with his dogs and partner, running, and skiing during the winter months. These interests reflect his belief in balance, movement, and connection as important components of overall mental health. Matthew continues to support teens, adults, and seniors throughout Oregon through his work at LifeStance Health. Book Online to get started.
