About us

Guiding House;

Matthew Paris, Psyd & Janelle Paris, MAED., LPCC

We are so happy you’re here and proud of you for making the step to research therapists!

One of the biggest advancements in mental health over the past two years has been the ability to use phone and video for sessions. This advancement has allowed opportunities to clients and therapists alike to bridge the communication gap that one was. Now, we can see clients on their work breaks, teens in a private room at school, parents who have children laying down for naps, individuals who are ill, and many more unique situations that make telehealth a better option.

One of the blessings it gave us was to be able to reach first responders during the COVID crisis (who would not have been allowed in our offices due to exposure) while also continuing care to our current clients. Now, it has also afforded us to have a private practice that we can maintain while we also live a balanced life. We felt it important to “practice what we preached” to our clients and live within our own personal values. We hope that not only our testimony, but also our faith and willingness to be an example will inspire you to also not give up on your dreams and goals.

We both share a deep passion for our faith, helping others, and promoting a healthy mental well-being.  Together, we are grateful to be here helping our community online and in-person.

Compassionately,

Matt and Janelle
