Matt graduated in 2010 with a Masters of Science in Art Therapy from Springfield College. Upon graduating he worked at Directions for Living in Pinellas County where he was an in-home therapist for high risk youth. His focus was on individuals with severe trauma, PTSD, poor family dynamics, and facilitating children getting the proper care they deserve.
