Master ART Clinician | Gottman Level 3 | Trauma-focused, results-oriented care for adults & couples | American Fork + Telehealth (UT) Message me to get started.

Hi, I’m Matthew Benavidez, LMFT. For nearly a decade I’ve helped couples and individuals in Utah County heal quickly and reconnect deeply. As a Master ART Clinician and Gottman Level 3 therapist, I blend fast, focused trauma resolution (ART) with practical, research-based tools for communication, trust, and intimacy. My work is EFCT/EFT and IFS-informed, and it’s always culturally and faith-aware. Sessions are collaborative, clear, and goal-oriented—so you leave knowing what to practice between visits. I offer in-person appointments in Utah County and telehealth across Utah. If you’re stuck in painful cycles, carrying a heavy memory, or simply want a stronger relationship, I’d be honored to help.
