Mental Health and Anxiety Psychotherapist in Beverly Hills, CA
Some wounds don’t show up on X-rays. They speak of tension headaches, short tempers, and sleepless nights. In Beverly Hills, life often demands polish and perfection, and the quiet weight of anxiety and mental health can feel particularly lonely. You might be outwardly successful, and yet constantly battling intrusive thoughts, restlessness, or a sense of dread that never quite lifts.
There are certain struggles that don't announce themselves loudly. They settle in quietly like an ache in your chest that won't go away, the endless overthinking, the shame that creeps in when you cancel plans again. You might still show up for work, smile at social events, and even crack jokes with friends. But inside, it’s a different story, one where exhaustion and isolation intertwine.
For many, anxiety doesn't look like panic. It looks like control, like you are trying to manage every possible outcome, so you can finally exhale. Rereading the same email ten times, avoiding certain people, and micromanaging moments just to feel safe.
And when that experience exists in a high-performance environment, the dissonance can be deafening. Everyone around you seems to be “thriving”. There’s little space to say, “I’m not okay”, without fearing you’re somehow falling behind.
This is where an anxiety psychotherapist becomes a friend and a savior. Therapy becomes a place to unravel the quiet pressure, understand why you respond the way you do, and begin healing from the inside, not just functioning better on the outside.
Matt Porter, MFT, offers a kind of therapeutic presence that doesn’t rush, diagnose, or fix but listens, attunes, and walks beside you. The whole idea of therapy is about meeting yourself honestly and being met with care.
About - West Hollywood, CA
Beverly Hills, CA is a storied enclave in Los Angeles County, spanning just 5.71 square miles yet rich in history, architecture, and culture.

Once a sprawling agricultural ranch known as Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas, Beverly Hills was officially incorporated in 1914 after early oil speculators found water instead. It has since evolved into one of the most iconic cities in the world.
Known for its palm-lined streets, luxury real estate, and high-end shopping on Rodeo Drive, the city also boasts landmarks like the Beverly Hills Hotel, Greystone Mansion, and the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. A favorite setting for film and television, the place blends historic charm with modern glamour, remaining a symbol of prestige, creativity, and cultural influence on the global stage.

Matt’s level of presence and integrity is hard to come by. The combination of competence in the most relevant areas of trauma work, as well as his deep insight into the subtleties of human cognition, makes him a perfect therapist to go all the way from deep healing work to awakening and Self actualization with. I trust him.

He is flexible and helps families and couples. So far he is really helping us as parents learn to work together instead of against each other. He is willing to work with us as a couple on our marriage and have family therapy with our teenaged daughters. Have not gotten there yet, but working on it.
