Matt Hall
My name is Matt Hall and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate. I received my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University in 2024. I am a practicing counselor at Affinity Counseling & Wellness, PLLC. Affinity offers individual, group, couples and family counseling, and we serve a wide variety of people from diverse backgrounds. I am under the supervision of Susannah Cecil, MEd, LCMHCS. My special interests include integrating spiritual concerns into the therapeutic session when appropriate.
I have a background in media and I understand the importance of telling a person’s story. As a counselor, it’s my desire to help individuals tell a new version of their story. I strive to help clients move through personal struggles by utilizing evidenced based therapeutic approaches. These approaches support learning new thought processes & behaviors and can help clients create a more
meaningful and joyful life.
