Shawn Matthews
,Bachelor of Social Science (Counselling)
I completed my Degree Bachelor of Applied Social Science (Counselling) in 2018. While finishing my degree I worked with men and women with high mental health needs in the drug and alcohol space. I worked in this space for 2 years until opening my business called Open Arms Health. I have now been in business for 4 years.
I assist women through anxiety, grief, loss, and stress reduction, conflict management, and relationship building. The women I assist come from our sessions together, reclaiming their time, voice, values, and vision, creating love, leadership, and happiness through their lives.
I offer a safe space where women can come and speak about what is on their minds. A space with encouragement, support, and growth. One that is nonjudgemental and gives a woman space and time for herself. My empathetic nature gives women what she needs to move forward in their life.
You may be going through some loss or stress in your life and it's becoming overwhelming. No one around you is listening or can understand what your going through. I see you, I hear you and I understand how that feels. Listening is one of my highest skills, which I believe you may need right now. Give me a call or send me an email to see how we can work together.
warm regards,
Shawn Matthews

"I have been working with my therapist, Shawn, for about 2 months now and she has been a huge help during a challenging life transition I have been going through. Shawn is empathetic and kind and I am very thankful to have had her support during this time. I have tried other online therapy platforms and I really like the worksheets from this program and feel it has enabled me to make a lot of progress in a short period of time."

"Shawn is a wonderful therapist! She has helped my partner and I become a stronger couple, but she has also helped us grow so much individually! We are better communicators and listeners now. Shawn has helped us to understand each other better and has given us practical tips so we can get through conflict as team. I have applied much of her advice to life situations outside of our relationship too. Shawn is warm, caring, honest, and professional. She is everything I was looking for in a therapist!"

"Shawn has been sooo helpful. I was initially pretty intimidated by the idea of therapy but she made it so easy and comfortable right from the start. We now have the tools to work together and communicate effectively. I would recommend her for anyone in need. 10 out of 10 experience."

"I found Shawn at a hopeless time in my life. I had done therapy for year’s previous with not much improvement. Shawn was able to help me heal from a very serious symptom and bring hope back into my life. Every time we got off the appointment I felt more positive about my life and better able to cope with my struggles. She changed my life!"

"I have tried in person therapy and virtual therapy previously with little success. Shawn has made such a difference in my life. She's a great therapist and online-therapy.com was an answer to my prayers."

"The worksheets help you figure out where you're going wrong, but the most helpful thing is therapy sessions."

"Helpful for exploring a part of myself where I haven't noticed before. My therapist is so easy to talk to and asks me questions which help me to talk about things that I haven't known how to start."

"My first therapist match didn't work out. I was feeling down about it and almost questioned cancelling my service altogether. I gave it another shot and really enjoy my new therapist. I feel like I've made lots a progress in such a short time while also keeping in mind its not a quick fix. I'm going to stick with it and am thankful for my therapist and the work she is doing to help me get through."

"I really like that there is access to therapists globally. It makes you feel like this network of help is much bigger than your struggles and you’re going to be okay. They have a lot of tools and a different approach which I appreciate."

"Came to this service out of major desperation stemming from a messy, complicated break up. I thought my life in general was pretty much over. My therapist has been nothing but kind, non-judgemental and supportive. I still dont know how my situation is going to get resolved - but I know Im functioning much better than I would have on my own thanks to Online-Therapy.com"
