Originally from the Midwest, Matt Lindgren earned his Bachelor’s degree in English from Minnesota State University Moorhead. He spent five years as a technical writer and demonstration engineer with Ariba Inc. in Sunnyvale, California, before entering the Clinical Psychology program at the New College of California in San Francisco. Lindgren explains that he entered the program because he wanted to give back to those who had helped him and give a purpose to losses in his own past. 

Matt Lindgren’s first internships allowed him to work with diverse populations and learn the newest therapeutic methods.

He also worked at the New College of California Community Counseling Center, using psychodynamic and play therapy to treat adults and children from the both the Latino and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered (LGBT) communities of San Francisco. While he was an intern at the Anthropos Counseling Center in Livermore, California, Matthew Lindgren learned therapeutic techniques such as somatic experiencing and eye movement desensitization and processing (EMDR).

Satisfied clients have commended his respect for boundaries, knowledge, and gentleness. Lindgren is a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists and the organization’s East Bay chapter.
