Andrew Matusiak

Andrew Matusiak started Challenging Minds LLC with the motivation to integrate a holistic approach to treating mental health. Andrew focuses on a “bottom up” and “top down” approach to counseling; supporting clients with different mindfulness, breathing, and grounding approaches that reduce anxiety over time. Andrew is certified as a meditation teacher and practices CBT, MBCT, and is as a certified Accelerated Resolution Therapist, which specializes in treating anxiety, phobias, and trauma disorders.

Andrew has worked in diverse social work settings, including skilled nursing facilities, residential treatment programs for behavioral adolescents, and supervised over fifty therapists in a large mental health organization before opening up Challenging Minds in 2019.

By the coping methods taught in therapy, Andrew believes that clients can be brought to their full agency; leading to a compassionate, self-directed, and organized perspective, allowing for emotional and mental freedom.
