About Dr. Matthew J. Bennett

A thoughtful approach to therapy and ADHD evaluation focused on clarity, patterns, and meaningful change

Helping you understand what’s not working, and what to do about it

Most people I work with have already spent time trying to figure things out. They’ve reflected, talked things through, and made attempts to change, but still feel stuck in the same patterns. You might understand why something is happening and still find yourself reacting the same way, or knowing what to do but not being able to follow through.

 

My role is to help you understand what’s driving those patterns more clearly and to work with you toward changes that feel more natural and sustainable over time. That often means slowing things down, looking at what’s happening underneath, and finding a way forward that actually fits you.

I work with adults and couples in-person in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin,  as well as clients virtually across most of the United States.

ABOUT ME

Matthew J. Bennett, Psy.D.

I’ve spent over 25 years working with individuals and couples in both university counseling centers and private practice. My experience includes time at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Illinois at Chicago, along with years of private practice in Chicago and the Seattle area, where I also led ADHD evaluations.

​

My work focuses on how emotional patterns, past experiences, and internal conflicts shape the way people think, feel, and relate. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, but find that understanding their problems hasn’t been enough to change them.

​

I take a direct, collaborative approach. Therapy is not about quick fixes or surface-level strategies, but about getting a clearer understanding of what’s happening underneath and working toward changes that actually hold over time.
