Matt Fosket, MA, LIMHP, NCC
Finding the right therapist who understands and resonates with you is crucial for your success in therapy. I understand the importance of this connection and prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, empathy, and respect. I am dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported in their unique experiences and struggles. By customizing my approach to meet individual needs and utilizing my expertise in counseling men, adolescents, first responders, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others, I aim to foster a deep understanding and connection with my clients to facilitate meaningful growth.
I use EMDR therapy and other modalities while incorporating humor and creativity in my practice. I offer guidance through a variety of difficulties experienced by individuals and families, including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, trauma, and disruptive behaviors. I aim to help you understand the reasons behind behaviors and learn to listen to what your body is telling you. I find value in using the methods that work best for you to help you reach your goals. I am trained in evidence-based therapy models to facilitate change for individuals and families, including TF-CBT, AF-CBT, PCIT, and EMDR.
As a male therapist, I understand the importance of therapy for everyone, including men. Men often hesitate to seek therapy, which can lead to untreated symptoms or reliance on unhealthy coping mechanisms. I offer mental health therapy specifically tailored for men to help reduce stigma and provide support for adolescent and adult men looking to improve their overall well-being.
I specialize in building connections between individuals and their loved ones. My background as a husband and parent greatly influences my approach when providing one-on-one or family therapy to help improve relationships. Drawing from my personal experiences of parenting both adopted and biological children, including the challenges of parenting teens, I am able to relate to my clients on a deeper level. Additionally, I am a graduate of the accredited Training for Adoption Competency (TAC) program provided by C.A.S.E., which allows me to offer adoption mental health therapy. My goal is to promote healthy family relationships while understanding the impact adoption can have on the child, parents, birth parents, and the entire family system.
I offer clinical supervision for new therapists in Nebraska, guiding them in their professional growth and development. I am dedicated to establishing a safe and supportive environment through a compassionate and client-centered approach.
I believe collaboration is key and surround myself with skilled therapists at Child & Family Therapy Institute of Nebraska. (CFTI), providing individual counseling and family therapy. I am a National Board Certified Counselor and licensed by the State of Nebraska as an Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP). My education includes a Master of Arts in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Chadron State College and a BA in Secondary Education from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. I am a member of the American Counseling Association, the Nebraska Counseling Association, and the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). I own Matt Fosket Counseling LLC, where, in additional to therapy, I provide clinical supervision, office building management, and independent contracting with counseling agencies such as CFTI.
