About me

I'm Dr. Lenore Matthew. I'm a practitioner and researcher from the field of Social Work, and hold expertise in trauma, brain/body/spirit healing, and intuitive awakenings as well as evidence-based practice and evaluation research. As a certified Brainspotting practitioner as well as an intuitive, I use a neuroscience-meets-spirit approach to help people process trauma, pain, and stuckness, and open up to a life of joy, emotional freedom, and intuitive connection. I especially work with people who (1) have gone through difficult life experiences and trauma, AND who (2) know they have a higher purpose, most likely related to what they've endured — even if they can't quite name that purpose yet. My clients know there's a bigger reason why they're here and why they went through what they did. They have a story to tell and a big impact to make. They just need help clearing the emotional blockages, so they can move forward and embody their soul purpose, light, joy, self-love, and all the expansiveness that comes with it. My clients are creatives. High performers. Lightworkers. Healers. They're empaths, intuitives, and sensitives. They're people who've gone through hard things, who've persevered through their trauma, and who know they're here to make a difference in the world. They're dedicated to their healing process, and to finding their soul's purpose by way of it. I know this clientele inside and out. Because I'm one of them. In 2020, my late husband suddenly passed away at age thirty-four. His passing was a total shock. Immediately after he passed, my intuitive ability of mediumship awoke. I trained and practiced as a professional medium, leaning into my newly discovered intuitive abilities and connection to my late husband. As my most powerful guide through deep trauma and complex grief, these connections led me down a path of myriad somatic, spiritual, mind/body, and energy-based healing techniques. On that path, I discovered Brainspotting, a fast-acting, deeply effective brain/body modality for trauma, and a derivative of EMDR. In just one session, it completely changed my experience with trauma, grief, and the stronghold they had on my life. Brainspotting far surpassed the impact of any other modality I had tried before, both in terms of the depth of healing and in staying power. Through Brainspotting, combined with my connection to my intuitive self, my world shifted to one that is expansive, joyful, present, and profoundly alive. Brainspotting impacted me so much that I became certified in the modality, enabling me to help others in tremendously transformative ways. ​My work today blends scientific methods from the fields of neuroscience, social work, and psychology, with the spiritual world and intuitive practices. My goal is to blend science with spirit to help people move through pain and trauma, and connect to their own soul, light, purpose, and joy. ​Whether it's traumatic loss or adverse childhood experiences that you are navigating, or feelings of stuckness, hopelessness, insecurity, being not good enough, perfectionism, anxiety, or depression, my blended approach of working with the deep brain plus opening up to one's soul, spirit, and intuition offers profound healing of the past alongside an expansive, positive opening to the future.
