MATT LIBERATORE, ED.D, LCPC
“Healing means accepting all parts of ourselves, not just the parts we like, but all of us.”
WELCOME
My name is Matt Liberatore, Ed.D, LCPC (he/him) and the owner and Clinical Director of Luminary Solutions. I earned my Doctorate in Leadership from Concordia University Chicago and hold a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) credential. In addition, I have master’s degrees in Counseling and Educational Leadership from Saint Xavier University and Northeastern Illinois University, respectively.
I’m not your “smile and nod” therapist. While therapy requires effort, it can also be engaging, insightful, and even fun. I listen actively and use direct, compassionate questioning to uncover and understand the core beliefs that shape your experiences.
I’m EMDR Certified and trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS)—two powerful modalities we’ll use together to help you heal where the past meets the present and create a brighter, more connected future.
Alongside my clinical work, I also provide consultation and coaching for developing therapists who are seeking to refine their therapeutic identity, deepen trauma-informed practice, or integrate EMDR and IFS principles into their work.
We’re all on a healing and growth journey—whether as clients or clinicians. Let’s begin yours together!

Using a blend of insight, analysis, and advanced therapeutic modalities such as EMDR (Certified) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we can create meaningful and lasting change—often more quickly and with less emotional strain. I have advanced EMDR training for Anxiety, OCD, Panic Disorder, and Addictions, and I am also Gottman Level 1 & 2 trained in Couples Therapy.

On the outside, it seems like you have it all together. You’re successful, capable, and well respected—but inside, there’s a fear that someone will eventually see through it all. When the mask slips, they’ll finally notice how much effort it takes just to keep things moving.
They don’t hear how loud it is in your head—the noise, the anxiety, the self-doubt, the constant negative self-evaluation. You get things done, but it takes everything you’ve got. It drains your energy, strains your relationships, and leaves you feeling exhausted and unsure of who you really are.
It doesn’t have to stay this way. Healing and self-discovery are possible—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
