Getting to know Matthew Schauer

Thank you for considering me as your therapist on your journey of healing. My name is Dr. Matthew Schauer, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I earned my doctorate in psychology (Psy.D.) from Alliant International University. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and relationship distress, among other challenges. I hope to support your healing and help increase your quality of life. My approach My client-centered approach allows my education and experience to support you with evidence-based practices tailored to your needs. I utilize a variety of orientations, including IFS, Gottman Method, EFT, CBT, DBT, MI, Gestalt, family systems, and the trauma resiliency model. My personality is woven into my approach; I aim to support you with compassion and empathy, providing a safe space where you can be heard. At times, I may be humorous and challenging. My focus I work with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, and trauma that often dates back to childhood. Some clients also face substance use challenges they want to overcome. Others struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder, seeking to regain control of their lives. Many clients experience relationship distress with intimate partners or family members. I provide couples counseling using the Gottman Method to help couples communicate effectively and practice new ways of relating that enhance the health of their relationship. My communication style I emphasize a safe, non-judgmental environment where my goal is to empower you. You can expect opportunities to grow, change, heal, and improve your quality of life. I hope to guide you on your path, staying half a step behind to ensure you own your progress.
