Courtney Minarsky, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

Warm, compassionate and non-judgmental. My clients enjoy my collaborative and emotion-focused methods for healing.

Something to know about my approach is:

I work from a strengths based perspective and make it my priority to help clients access their existing internal resources as well as build new coping skills. I guide people to make positive changes while focusing on self-compassion.

Together, we will:

gain insight into your emotions, behaviors and needs. Explore how you communicate your needs and feelings. Enhance your own understanding of how past experiences have shaped you and what work needs to be done to heal.

I specialize in working with people who:

Feel like they chronically overthink situations , relationships and past experiences in a negative way or who feel a lack of control over how they react when their emotions are running high. I enjoy helping with relationship and parenting issues.

I became a therapist because:

I am passionate about instilling hope and helping people who feel stuck get out of that rut and live more fulfilling lives

More about me and my practice:

I use a variety of evidence-based treatments tailored to each specific individual and what I believe will help that person. I aim to make therapy sessions feel like self-care. It is my goal to help lighten the load that my clients are carrying.
