Mathew Quaschnick

From the heart of Minneapolis, a therapist emerges with a unique blend of life experiences and professional expertise. Mathew Quaschnick, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC #cc00636), brings a rich tapestry of perspectives to his practice, shaped by his journey from rural Wisconsin to the bustling Twin Cities.

Mathew's approach to therapy is as diverse as his background. Drawing from a wide range of therapeutic modalities, he crafts a personalized experience for each client. His toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Lacanian Psychoanalytic Therapy, as well as other psychodynamic and depth psychology approaches. This eclectic mix allows him to adapt his methods to best serve the individual needs of his clients, whether they're adults or adolescents aged 14 and older.

The foundation of Mathew's practice is built on a solid educational background. He holds a Master of Arts degree in Counseling and Psychological Services from the University of St. Mary's Minnesota, complemented by an undergraduate degree in Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature from the University of Minnesota. This interdisciplinary education informs his holistic approach to mental health, allowing him to draw connections between cultural contexts and individual experiences.

Mathew's professional journey is as varied as his therapeutic approaches. A veteran of the United States Air Force, he brings discipline and dedication to his practice. His experience as a professional massage therapist adds a unique understanding of the mind-body connection, while his time in high-end retail honed his interpersonal skills. These diverse experiences contribute to his ability to connect with clients from all walks of life.

In his practice, Mathew incorporates elements of existential psychology, Western and Eastern philosophical traditions, and mindfulness techniques. He believes in the power of choice, as evidenced by his use of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy. This combination of approaches allows him to address both immediate concerns and deeper, long-standing issues, providing a comprehensive therapeutic experience.

Mathew's personal philosophy is deeply rooted in inquiry and self-reflection. Growing up in a large family in central Wisconsin, he developed an early interest in life's fundamental questions - the very questions that often arise in therapy.
