Last month, Matt was featured in several publications, including most recently New York Magazine, recommending the best books for children and teens on adolescence. Quoted in a team of experts, including therapists who work with kids and teens, as well as psychologists and sex educators, Matt provided several suggestions for parents on books that most importantly present sexual and reproductive health in a clear and honest way. While there’s no single perfect book for kids and teens, Matt’s choices included books like Robie H. Harris’s It’s Not the Stork!: A Book About Girls, Boys, Babies, Bodies, Families and Friends for younger kids and S.E.X: The All-You-Need-to-Know Sexuality Guide to Get You Through Your Teens and Twenties by Heather Corinna.
InStyle Magazine also reached out to Matt for his expertise working with couples and individuals who are dating to speak about what writer Nikhita Mahtani calls, “the almost relationship.” In the article “Are You In An Almost Relationship?” the almost relationship is defined as a relationship in which there is a reluctance to commit or label the relationship, or an ambivalence about the relationship itself or relationships in general. Matt gives advice on how to avoid getting into an almost relationship in the first place (listen to what your partner is telling you), and if you’re already in an almost relationship, how to address those concerns as soon as possible, even if the conversation is uncomfortable.
On the Tribeca Therapy blog, in addition to highlighting some of the recent articles in other publications that featured Tribeca Therapy, Matt participated in a collective conversation with the rest of the therapists on staff. Related to a previous collective discussion about the benefits of working in a group practice formulation, this conversation focused on the benefits to patients who seek therapy with a group practice.
