Matthew Ghukassian, PsyD (Doctorate of Psychology), LMFT

Testimonials Testimonial 1: I found Dr. Matthew Ghukassian through his Google reviews when I was looking for a therapist for my 14-year-old son in 2020. My son was later enrolled in an IOP, and I was recommended to go through therapy too to help me better understand my son. I contacted Dr. Ghukassian again, and he has been my therapist up to now. He is the best thing that has happened to me during the worst time of my life. I credit Dr. Ghukassian for getting this far in my life. He is caring, treats you like family, and helps you understand your patient. I could not have understood my son, who is autistic. Dr. Ghukassian knows where we left, so he does not have to repeat and ensures his consistency in supporting me, giving me directions and resources to help me understand my son’s needs. A child with special needs can be very lonely, but with Dr. Ghukassian, I have never felt alone. He goes above and beyond to ensure family stability and wellbeing. My son has made a lot of progress. I am glad to have found Dr. Ghukassian. Dr. Ghukassian will remain part of my family forever! Testimonial 2: Dr. Matthew Ghukassian has been a wonderful mentor and life coach, apart from being an excellent therapist. I have always been reluctant to go for therapy since I felt weak or broken. Therapy does not need someone to be weak or broken to benefit from it. You may think your life is perfect, and you can handle it, but sometimes social status is not everything. There is an increasing burden placed on us by the society and our families. Sometimes it is challenging to see your personal habits and behaviors as your close relatives see them. This is where therapy comes in. It provides an outside perspective without any prejudice, which has helped me the most. Dr. Ghukassian has provided a solution in my life beyond therapy. When you consider his services, be honest with him, as he is able to help you whatever worries you might have. Therapy requires patience and consistency. Real-life expectations come out after consistent sessions, which are quite meaningful. Peace and blessings to you all!
