Matt Snyder is a clinical social worker at Home Base working primarily in the outpatient clinic and the SOAR (Skills-Based Outpatient Addiction and Recovery) Program providing clinical case management, running group therapy, and working with veteran families in various capacities.  Matt previously served at Home Base as a clinical social work intern providing help in both the outpatient and intensive clinical programs.  He received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of South Carolina in 2013 in Political Science with a minor in advertising and public relations. Matt spent the next four years primarily in the restaurant and hospitality industry while volunteering in social services before making the career change to social work. He received his MSW from Simmons University in May of 2019 and completed his licensure to become an LCSW in August 2019.  Prior to Home Base, in his first-year graduate internship, Matt worked with homeless, unaccompanied, and housing unstable high school students, where he helped them secure housing, graduate high school, and develop a clear post-graduate plan. Matt’s interests in social work revolve around clinical mental health counseling and policy advocacy, especially in populations impacted by substance use disorders with particular focus on the impact of language and stigma.  Matt is excited to continue his work at Home Base with Veterans, Service Members, and their families.
