My name is Matthew Trent, and I am currently a student at Lincoln Memorial University obtaining my Med in Mental Health Counseling. I have 3 years of prior experience in the field while working at Woodridge Psychiatric Hospital in Johnson City TN in various departments while attaining my bachelor’s in psychology at East Tennessee State University.

Working at Woodridge exposed me to a large variety of client populations in terms of both age and diagnosis demographics. Those experiences taught me that I find a passion helping those in crisis with high acuity diagnoses and general anxiety and depression.

However, I am new to the exploration of counseling and my path may change. Finding new passions and exploring opportunities is something I do not shy away from. By the end of this program, I hope to feel more concrete in my philosophy and my work path.
