Welcome

About my work

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Matt Goldenberg, PsyD, (he/him), I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Washington. I work primarily with adolescents and adults, and my practice is grounded in creating a thoughtful, compassionate space where people can explore challenges, make sense of their experiences, and move toward meaningful change.

My path as a psychologist has been shaped by a wide range of clinical experiences. I received my doctorate from the APA-accredited Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA, after completing a master’s degree in psychology at Seattle University. Since then, I’ve worked in diverse settings, including residential care programs, a medical clinic serving unhoused youth, and community-based crisis services.

I served as the supervising psychologist in the Gender Clinic at Seattle Children’s Hospital. My work has also included the development of statewide crisis intervention programs through the Department of Social and Health Services, as well as direct mobile crisis response in King County.

Beyond clinical work, teaching and advocacy have been meaningful parts of my career. I’ve served as faculty at several colleges, teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology and counseling. I have also been called upon as an expert witness at the national level to advocate for gender-diverse youth and other marginalized communities. In addition, I bring experience working with migrant populations and individuals facing systemic and social barriers to care.

These experiences guide my approach with clients—one that is collaborative, transparent, centered on your goals, and grounded in compassion. I rely on evidence-based practices and remain mindful of how our respective social, political, and cultural contexts shape the direction and outcomes of therapy.
