Matt Layton, LCSW/CADC  I received my BA from Transylvania University in 1983. In 1989 I began work in the field of addiction treatment and completed my graduate degree (MSW) from the University of Kentucky in 1991. I have been licensed in Chemical Dependency (CADC) since 1996 and received my LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in 2001. My work with clients involves working in the area of addictions for the past 20 years. My practice implements Gestalt Therapy, Reality therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have provided psychotherapy to adults, couples, and teens seeking help for trauma, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, and marital conflict. I appreciate the courage it takes to ask for help and to look at oneself. My experience is that the journey is worth the risk. I personally and professionally understand that risk, having become a psychotherapist after going on my own personal journey toward wholeness and presence.
