Nominated By: Oyen Hoffman
“I’d like to nominate Matthew King for this month’s Mariposa award. Matthew is an outstanding clinician with mad skills, solid clinical intuition, and wicked smarts. Matthew regularly sees 8 to 10 patients per day, several of which are for 1-hour psychotherapy sessions. This amounts to profound mental and emotional stamina that many behavioral health providers would not be able to withstand. Matthew has a real love for what he does and a deep desire to help the patients he serves here every day. Matthew’s patients come back to him because he is just that good, keeping his schedule full and his patients happy, healthy, and fulfilled. Matthew is a wonderful father to his son while being an active and engaged partner to his significant other, making them the fuel for his hard work and constant efforts to be better. Matthew strives to work well with his team at both our Basalt and Glenwood clinics and wants his teammates to be as happy and healthy as possible. I’d be remiss should I fail to mention Matthew’s brilliant sense of humor, always looking to laugh and make others (or just himself) laugh out loud with witty humor, that almost no one gets. I am happy to call Matthew my teammate and friend. It is one of my honors to be a part of Matthew’s professional journey here at MFHC. I’d like to encourage everyone to take a moment and thanks Matthew for his genuine kindness and service to us, our community, and the patients we all share in serving. With my sincere gratitude.”
