Michael Matouk, PhDPLLC
Psychologist & Counselor
Sarasota, FL & Online
​
When you sit with me, you are meeting with a psychologist who holds himself — and his clients — to the highest standards of care. I am not here for small talk. That is what friends are for. I am here to get you functioning at the highest level possible, and after 36 years of clinical practice, I know how to do that.
​
God did not design you to merely survive-He has created an incredible opportunity to live life, and we must take advantage of the gifts He wants to bless you with. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, adolescent behavioral issues, ADHD, or simply feeling lost — meaningful, purposeful change is absolutely possible. Together we will do more than talk. We will work.
​
I bring both the clinical skill and the personal conviction to guide you toward the life you were meant to live. My approach is direct, compassionate, and grounded in faith — without apology.
​
You have found the right psychologist. Let's get started.

How can I help you? ​
Step one in the process is making a phone contact. Here, I can hear you describe to me what is happening in your life. Once this happens, I'm able to determine if and how I can help you. There is no cost for this informational session. If we determine that I can be of help, we can make a plan to move forward for a scheduled therapy session.
