About My Work
“Art Matthews, MA LPC operates a small private therapy practice under the business name of AZ Body-Mind Counseling and works as a full-time counselor for a graduate university of health sciences located in Mesa, Arizona. Art has been counseling for over 12 years, providing face-to-face and distance counseling services. His practice is focused on providing individual and group counseling, helping people deal with stress, anxiety, panic, moods, grief/loss, and developmental life issues.

Art has a deep appreciation for honoring and embracing people of different cultural and sociological perspectives, having initiated the SafeZone for All Project on the campus where he works. Art has specialized in working with adults, mature adults and people who are Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans.

In 2009, Art Matthews became a Distance Credentialed Counselor, skilled and knowledgable in the use of computer and telephonic technology in counseling across distance. Following the American Counseling Association Ethics, the National Board for Certified Counselors Ethics and the Laws of the State of Arizona, Art only provides distance counseling services to clients who reside in the State of Arizona.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am not a prescribing provider; therefore, I cannot answer questions related to medications, herbal suppliments or other medical treatments for mental and behavioral health concerns. Questions related to those issues should be directed to a psychiatrist, MD, DO or naturopathic physician.”
My Story
“Art completed a Master of Arts degree in Community Counseling from a CACREP Accredited program at Southeast Missouri State University. He completed practicum, internship and licensure hours while working in university centers for health and counseling. His professional experience since that time has included mental health counseling in higher education, in community agencies and in hospital outpatient programs. In 2009, he opened his private practice, AZ Body-Mind Counseling, which has grown impressively since opening.

Art's clinical approach combines facets of Cognitive-Behavioral Counseling (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), Developmental Theory of Human Development, Humanistic Counseling Theory and Mindfulness Interventions. His style of counseling is personal, accepting, and compassionate.

Art enjoys learning more about Mindfulness Meditation Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-based Therapy Interventions. He believes strongly in the Body-Mind-Spirit Connection and suggests each client addresses interventions that positively influence their Body, Mind and Spirit. Each compenent of human wellness is embodied in the others and each component both influences and is influenced by the others. Through therapy that addresses the Body-Mind-Spirit, his clients can achieve balance and move forward with their lives.”
