Meet The Owner

Matt Mullenix, MA, LPC

Hey there! I’m Matt and I first off want to thank you for taking the time to stop by and checkout my page.

I am a graduate of Virginia Tech, for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. In 2001, I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing Management. After working several years in retail management I returned back to Virginia Tech to pursue my Masters Degree. In 2007, I obtained my Master’s in Counselor Education.

Helping others is both my passion and calling in life. 13+ years working as a School counselor and coach allowed me to motivate and empower the youth amidst an ever-changing society. As a Mental health counselor working directly in the community I further developed my skills and empathy for others while also learning the true power of both listening and being heard.

In 2023, I decided to combine all of these prior years of professional and life experience to start my own mental health agency. Therein, Sandbridge Counseling was created. The ability to now help others from a phone/tablet or computer is SO very amazing and I don’t take what I do for granted or lightly at all!

Why Sandbridge Counseling?

Here are a few clients feedback, taken directly from my online Google reviews.

“I have nothing but good things to say about Sandbridge Couseling. They have been very accommodating and flexible with me and my work schedule. I really like and appreciate that any time of heightened anxiety for me, I have always been offered the option to meet more frequently which gave me the support I needed to navigate those particularly stressful/anxious periods. If you’re looking for a safe space where you feel truly heard and cared for/supported, this is it. The telemedicine visits also make it sooooo convenient for me as a full time employee and student. I really cannot recommend Sandbridge Counseling (and Matt!) enough!”

“Are you looking for a therapist that actually knows how to listen? Being heard and understood is how Matt Mullenix makes me feel. It took me awhile to find a new therapist after mine retired and I am grateful to have found Sandbridge Counseling. If you are looking for help, Matt is the real deal and I’m positive that he can help you. Make your appointment today and start your healing journey, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!”

“Matt, I can't thank you enough for giving my son a "safe place" to come to when needed. You have made my son feel comfortable and open with being able to express himself in the privacy of his own home. With your background, experience and expertise, you have been instrumental in guiding him through ways to make him feel himself again.”

“I’ve been working with Matt for several years, and he is truly the best therapist I’ve ever had. He has supported me through some of my darkest moments with compassion, insight, and unwavering patience. Matt is an exceptional listener who creates a safe, understanding space where I always feel heard and valued. I’m incredibly grateful for the progress I’ve made with his guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and genuinely caring therapist.”

“I am taking a moment to express how grateful I am to have the opportunity to have Matt as a therapist. In the past I have not had positive experience with therapy and therapists. To say I was apprehensive is an understatement. Matt has been great with helping me connect with my 13 year old daughter. He listens and speaks to my daughter with respect, kindness and is very professional. He is giving me methods to cope and communicate with my daughter's needs. I was so impressed, that I now see him myself as a patient and he is helping me navigate my way through some unexpected life challenges and is excellent at putting things into perspective. I highly recommend Matt, he is caring and compassionate and truly listens. He is mindful and respects and acknowledges my child's feelings.”
