Lighthouse Counseling and Wellness 1000 Washington Street, Michigan City, IN 46360

"He was perfectly nice at first. But I noticed some strange behaviors that made me pull my child out of their services. They also have some very sketchy practices regarding information. I'll probably find another service for my kid."

"It is often difficult for me to open up to people about anything, but Dr. Matias makes it very easy for me to share my problems and to work on strategies to better my life. He has a kind demeanor and caring nature and genuinely devotes himself to improving the well being of those he helps. From daily struggles to concerns about politics or current events, I know that I can discuss any subject with Dr. Matias in a thorough and professional manner. I am grateful for my weekly sessions at Lighthouse Counseling and Wellness, and I highly recommend Dr. Matias."

"Dr. Matias is our couples therapist and does an incredible job of guiding the session without being overbearing and is also great at pointing out important patterns to work on (as well as making concrete suggestions on how to do this). He is incredibly patient, kind, and competent; he is also great at bringing humor and lightness to tough situations when helpful/appropriate. Highly recommend working with him!"

"I struggle with PTSD. And I haven't yet found anyone who can help me with this until I came upon Dr. Matias. Dr. Matias is a man of great compassion, empathy, understanding, caring and great with people in general. He is friendly and has a calming demeanor. Talking about one's problems is not easy. But Dr. Matias seems to encourage you to do it without judgment and is very eager to help in any way he can to get you to see past your problems and to deal with them in a better way. I can honestly say that after several months of talk therapy that I am seeing things in a different light and more able to deal with my own issues. I owe him a big thank you to for helping me!"

"I came to know Dr. Matias in 2013 when he became my supervisor, which he remained for 5 years. During the time I worked with him it was evident that Dr. Matias is a compassionate individual with well diverse knowledge in the field of psychology. He displayed a genuine interest in helping others, a sense of compassion that is unique, and a desire to mentor students and colleagues to continue to grow and learn to better themselves. His willingness to continue to push and encourage growth is an inspiration to many and has encouraged myself and many to pursue our own dreams. Dr. Matias continues to be an inspiration and remains a colleague and friend to this day, for those seeking a skilled therapist I highly recommend his services."
