About Matthew Harkema
Growing up nestled between a nature reserve and downtown Minneapolis, I developed an appreciation for both the tranquility of nature and the energy of urban life. This blend of environments shaped my love for diversity, culturally and environmentally. Fishing is my way to unwind, and my career has always centered on working toward the greater good of individuals and society.Initially, my focus was on business, and my path led me to sales, where I found my niche. I thrived in solution-oriented, relationship-driven roles and grew quickly in the competitive landscape. When the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped our world, it led me to explore the field of mental health counseling.I’ve found a way to blend both passions. I’m committed to positioning myself into a place where I can utilize my understanding of mental health and mental health technology to help improve access to care. My goal is to apply my unique blend of expertise to create innovative solutions that make mental health care more accessible for both providers and clients, fostering greater support for individuals in need.
