Matthew K. Laker M.A.

Find clarity. Reduce stress. Build stronger relationships.

 

Are you struggling with anxiety, relationship conflicts, or other difficulties?

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward?  I help individuals and couples work through these challenges with warmth, clarity, and proven therapeutic methods.

My name is Matthew Laker, an American therapist living in Prague since 2010.  I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology and am currently finishing a PhD at Charles University with research focused on anxiety and phobias.

 

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the corporate world for nearly a decade — an experience that helps me understand the stresses of professional life as well as personal struggles.

 

Rather than giving advice, I work collaboratively with you to uncover solutions that fit your life. I take a supportive, non-judgmental approach, 

drawing from a range of methods, always tailoring the process to your needs, including:
 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.
Existential and Humanistic approaches – to explore meaning, values, and personal growth.
Time Perspective Therapy – to release the grip of past trauma and open space for change.
Ericksonian Hypnotherapy – available in dedicated sessions, often helpful for rapid improvement with anxiety, phobias, or habits.

 

Individual Therapy (Online is possible)
Couples Therapy
Children (case-by-case)

​

My well proven couples therapy method works to help the partners communicate productively. Together, we reduce conflict, resolve differences, and soften accumulated resentment so that trust and connection can grow again.

Sessions may be booked below near the bottom of the page.  Please contact me if you cannot find availability that matches your own, as I may be able to make arrangements.
