Matthew Nissenbaum is a psychologist based in Richmond, VIC. You can find his practice at 232 Lenox Street, Richmond VIC 3121. He offers therapy in a calm, steady way, with a focus on helping people make sense of what they are dealing with and take practical steps forward.
Matthew works with individuals who are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in a pattern that is not helping. Many people come in when work pressure, family stress, sleep problems, or everyday worries start to build up. In other cases, it is about handling bigger changes, relationship problems, or feelings that keep showing up again and again.
He also provides couples counselling. That can be for communication issues, growing distance, repeated arguments, or just feeling like you are not on the same team anymore. Sessions are about slowing things down, understanding what is going on under the surface, and finding ways to respond that feel more respectful and realistic for both people.
For families, Matthew offers family therapy. This often suits situations where stress is affecting routines at home, or where one person’s challenges are spilling over into everyone’s day. Family sessions can help with clearer conversations, better boundaries, and supporting each other without making everything worse.
Along with therapy for relationships and family dynamics, Matthew helps clients learn stress management techniques. At times, that might look like simple tools you can use between sessions. In many cases, it is also about spotting triggers, noticing how thoughts and feelings shift your body, and building habits that make things more manageable day to day.
Matthew’s experience covers individual therapy sessions, couples counselling, and family therapy, so he can help when the situation is personal, shared, or both. He keeps things straightforward, without rushing you. Sessions are designed to feel supportive and grounded, with room to talk things through at your own pace.
When it comes to learning and keeping practice up to date, Matthew focuses on the work itself and the support he provides in real sessions. Clinical research and clinical trials are not listed for his profile, but the aim stays the same: helping people navigate stress, improve communication, and move through tough times with more clarity and steadier footing.
