About Me
Welcome to Teen Counseling! I am Dr. Roxanna Duntley-Matos. I am a community-engaged cultural anthropologist and a Licensed Social Worker in clinical and community organizing practice with over 20 years experience. I collaborate with couples and their families from diverse cultures to strengthen their communication, academic, and interpersonal relationships. I collaborate with English and Spanish-speaking youth to discover their strengths and better address a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, challenges with their parents and school, trauma, grief, and cultural adaptation. I am a former MI Governor appointed Board member of the Children's Trust Fund for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect, former President of Organization of Latino Social Workers-MI and I am currently co-developing a culturally-focused trauma-informed/Empowerment program with the public schools, communities, and families.
My counseling style is warm, engaging, and energizing. I use a cultural humility, empowerment, and transformative complicity approaches that involve respect, sensitivity, and compassion toward the self and others. I am informed by the latest cutting edge research on neuroplasticity, neurodiversity, cultural inclusion, and equity. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels and I respect an intersectional identity and standpoint theory perspective. My approach combines positive psychological, critical feminist, social justice, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psycho-dynamic, and rational-emotive counseling. I hope to meet you to support your emotional well-being and spiritual goals. I am honored to walk with you on your journey!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Roxanna Duntley-Matos. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with ReGain might be different.
Dr. Duntley-Matos is simply amazing. When my fiance and I started therapy we had issues with general communication and supporting each other. Every week with Dr. Matos feels like another success as we learn more skills and strategies to strengthen our relationship!
Dr. Matos is a wonderful therapist- we have never felt so supported. This is our first time in couple's therapy, and she is wonderful. She has also done some research to contribute to her field, which is rare for us to have such an expert as our counselor. We really love the strategies she has developed and find that overall, we are communicating better. We look forward to counseling each and every time. It is so great to be with Dr. Matos!
We LOVE Dr. DM! She is the BEST! We value her experience, advice and awesome analytical skills. She’s compassionate, kind and understanding. We’ve been with her for over half a year. My daughter recently started sessions with her and simply adores her. Very professional and helpful! ❤️
Dr Duntley-Matos has been giving us insightful advice and information. We are strongly healing as a family. Dr Matos is a positive thinker and leaves responsibility with us and she is quick to see what aspects of our relationship need work what aspects are fine and don't need digging up.
We are never afraid to tell her about our questions or doubts.
Dr. Matos is a professional who seems to really care about the people she's working with. The sessions lead to practical steps forward which have had a clear impact on our relationship. Dr. Matos has really helped us as a couple.
Smart, wise, experienced and empathetic
She’s the best counselor I ever had. If I could recommend her to all people I know, I will. She’s like an ángel from heaven. She works in a way you would see a real change in your lives. Even went those challenges are really something. Her expertise and humanity are uniques. I would always be grateful for having her as my counselor.
Dr. Duntley-Matos gives excellent suggestions and in a handful of sessions, has changed the way we think about and act during disagreements. We both really enjoy working with her, and have benefitted from her advice.
Dr. Duntley-Matos is very knowledgeable, structured, and thorough. Regardless of whether or not the relationship I'm trying to salvage works out, I would recommend her for anyone in need of marriage counseling.
Dr. Duntley-Matos is very proffesional, caring and is very good at finding the right words that help us find our path.
