Dr. Matthew LaGrange founded His Story Coaching and Counseling in 2011 with a vision to provide accessible, high-quality coaching and counseling services that meet the diverse needs of individuals, families, and organizations across the community.

Dr. LaGrange earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Marian College in Indianapolis, where he also served as student body president. He went on to complete a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology with distinction from St. Louis University and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Purdue University.
