Where Psychology
meets faith

I want you to understand your wounds in order to experience the freedom God desires for you, so you can pursue the life you are called to.

Incredulity of Saint thomas | Dr Matthew Breuninger | Therapist, Catholic Speaker, Course Creator, and Author | Steubenville, OH

I help Catholics who are struggling with emotional and relational difficulties to achieve greater insight into past wounds, greater emotional stability, and form deeper relationships.

Therapy that Addresses the Source

Unmet needs from childhood leave wounds we try to deal with as best we can. We adopt personality traits or relational patterns aimed at getting needs met or avoiding pain.

Do you feel disconnected, distant, burnt out and emotionally exhausted?
Are your relationships fractured, identity bound up in your work, and just going through the motions?

Dr. Matthew Breuninger

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Ohio. As a member of PsyPact, I can do telehealth with clients in 41 states.

I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for individuals and couples, as well as ACT, CBT, and Prolonged Exposure.

I believe emotions matter—they point us to what we need, what we fear, and where healing is asking for attention—so we learn to listen to them rather than fight them.

Research-Grounded, Personally Tailored

I use evidence-based approaches, personalized to you and rooted in a supportive therapeutic relationship.

We work to understand and loosen the patterns and reactive cycles that add to your suffering, while building steady emotional footing for a purposeful life.

I’m happy to integrate faith and spirituality for clients who desire it.
