Courtney Minarsky, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

Compassionate, warm, calming and interactive. I am easy to talk to and my sessions are always a safe space to talk about everything and anything.

Something to know about my approach is:

I help my clients to slow down and reconnect to their bodies during periods of anxiety. I help them understand and cope with their triggers. I focus on reducing shame and improving people's relationships with themselves and their loved ones.

Together, we will:

Make connections between your childhood experiences and how you view yourself and the world today, understand your triggers, reduce feelings of shame, enhance self-compassion and replace old, unhelpful personal narratives with new, positive ones.

I specialize in working with people who:

want to understand themselves on a deeper level, whose goal is to improve the way they treat themselves and the people they care about, who want to work on emotional reactivity and self-esteem

I became a therapist because:

I am passionate about instilling hope and helping people get "unstuck" and live more fulfilling lives

More about me and my practice:

I believe that being self-critical and avoiding discomfort is what holds people back from experiencing fulfillment and joy. I will gently guide you to move through your pain and to treat yourself with the kindness and compassion that you deserve
