Recent Updates From Matthew Barclay
Last updated | Wednesday March 26, 2025

I work best with clients ready to make a change but haven't yet figured out the best course of action. My agency name, Inertia Counseling, is founded on the notion that if we are stuck emotionally, we tend to stay stuck emotionally unless we make a conscious effort to change. Like Newton's Law of Inertia, once we start our process of changing how we think and act, that change gathers momentum and we can really change our lives for the better. Get moving... Stay moving... Change your life!
I am a relational therapist which means that I believe we are hard-wired for connection to others. I believe we seek out growth-fostering relationships with others with whom we can experience mutual empathy, empowerment, and authenticity. Disconnection hurts, and yet sometimes strategically disconnecting can prepare us for healthier connections yet to come.
Some issues are bigger than what we can safely handle on our own. Seeking help from a qualified therapist can be the best decision you can make for yourself or your loved one. I tell people that I love therapy because it's the one place where you can say whatever you want without hurting anyone, and you get to be the most important person in the room. :-)
