Proncée Matthews
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW,LISW-S,EMDR Certified Therapist, RPT
I love the work that I do and connecting with my clients in a relatable way. I enjoy providing a space for them where they can truly be themselves. I am an EMDR therapist that specializes in working with women of color that are struggling with anxiety, depression , and/or trauma. EMDR therapy is a type of therapy that allows you to go deeper for deeper healing by using the power of your brain and body, together with your mind.

Montgomery Counseling Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCSWA, LCMHC, LCMHCA
I believe therapy works best when it is both grounded and genuinely human. My approach is collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients understand what is happening beneath the surface rather than simply managing symptoms.
I work with people who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship conflict, or emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who are used to pushing through but know something deeper needs attention.
My clinical work draws from evidence-based and experiential approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems-informed therapy, clinical hypnosis, and other trauma-focused methods. I am especially interested in how the nervous system, memory, emotion, and identity all interact in the healing process.
I aim to create a therapy space that is direct but compassionate, supportive but not passive. Together, we will work toward helping you make sense of your experience, reduce distress, and build a more flexible, connected way of living
