Walter Matweychuk

What clients take away from working with Walter Matweychuk are concrete skills — not just relief, but a durable mental toolkit for handling whatever life throws at them next. A licensed psychologist based in New York, Walter grounds his practice in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, a no-nonsense approach centered on teaching people how to rethink adversity rather than simply endure it. His work spans individual counseling, marriage and family therapy, coaching, and crisis intervention, reaching teens wrestling with anxiety between class and their social feeds, adults navigating burnout, and people working through addictions, mood disorders, and the fallout of emotional abuse.

Walter’s commitment to transparency is visible before the first session even begins. Every Saturday at 9 AM Eastern, he hosts a free public demonstration over Zoom — a live format where a volunteer brings a real problem and works through it with him on the spot. It is an unusual offer, and a deliberate one: he believes that choosing a therapist deserves the same care as any other significant decision.

For Walter, effective therapy is not a place to vent indefinitely. It is structured, purposeful work aimed at lasting change in how people think, feel, and act. Audio and video resources at REBTDoctor.com extend that work beyond the session.
