Sometimes life is painful, and sometimes you get stuck in the pain. Getting help from a psychotherapist can help you resolve the issues that are keeping you stuck so you can feel like the "self" you want to be. I help you change your patterns of thinking, behaving, and feeling so you can live a life of peace, pleasure, and joy. Your Tomorrow Can Feel Better Than Today

This private practice is focused on helping clients create a balanced and joyful life. Everyone can discover the way that works best for him or her. It appears that we tend to focus way too much time and energy on "right vs. wrong." This seems to only cause more confusion, indecisiveness, and other insecurities. Seeking outside guidance in times of struggle can be powerful and transformative. One of the goals of this practice is to help clients discover a deeper sense of self and acceptance. Another intention of this practice practice is to help clients build and maintain the necessary tools they already have existing within themselves, and lead clients to new discoveries of living life in a more balanced and enjoyable way.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process. We begin psychotherapy by identifying your goals for treatment. We will work together to develop a treatment plan. Throughout the psychotherapy process, I utilize evidence-based treatment models to help you meet your treatment goals. As your therapist, I aim to walk with you through the difficult times and providing support and tools needed to help navigate through the difficulties.

Dr. Minatrea is an advocate of positive psychology, which focuses on strengths and doing more of what works, not just labeling problems. Positive psychology also includes things like hope, forgiveness, and gratitude...not just looking at what is wrong, but finding a way out. Within a positive framework, Dr. Minatrea uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. She seeks to provide care for the whole person--body, mind, and spirit.

I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is a present focused psychotherapy and uses elements of traditional psychotherapy where the historical data is relevant to the present circumstances, thoughts and feelings that are being addressed. The client sets the agenda collaboratively with the therapist during each session. The client gains the tools over the course of therapy to use for a lifetime. Many clients see results quickly with CBT, and most see substantial results in 15 sessions.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in fostering a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and active listening. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in depth. Through a client-centered and integrative approach, clients will benefit from tailored interventions and techniques that address their unique needs and goals. I strive to empower clients to gain self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and facilitate personal growth.

In my approach to psychotherapy, I integrate multiple therapeutic modalities to a Christian foundation to provide the best and tailored experience for my clients. Psychoeducation is a key component, as I believe in empowering individuals with knowledge about their mental and emotional health and equipping them with strategies. I also incorporate Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), to address emotional blockages and promote emotional healing. Furthermore, I draw upon the principles of existential therapy to explore clients' search for meaning and personal growth. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), techniques to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs.

Psychotherapy can provide a setting for you to sit, talk, think, and feel. As you do so in a supportive and understanding space, you will be able to develop more mature conclusions about your circumstances. For example, you might begin to see areas where you have relinquished your power and in so doing, reclaim your power. Psychotherapy provides a unique opportunity to identify your patterns, develop self-awareness, and make new choices.

As human beings, we each grow up with a family of origin that is dysfunctional at some level because every family is made of of imperfect humans! It is amazing what taking a look at how our perceptions of life, love, God, money, the world around us, etc. is formed and how that impacts who we are and how we act today. It is never about blame, but it is often about finding real truth and forgiveness and learning how to move on and become your true authentic self!

Psychotherapy is collaborative effort between you and I, so that we can help you change your life. You bring your experiences and situations to me, and I give you feedback that can help you reach your goals. We will look at your thinking and I will show you how this impacts how you feel and the decisions that you make. We will also look at problems in your life and create solutions to these problems. Then we discuss how you can apply new decision-making patterns to other similar situations as they arise. Call or e-mail me today to set up a consultation to learn more about how psychotherapy can help you with your current situation and problems.

Talk therapy can be helpful with a wide range of issues.

There is a great value to having someone who hears you. Your story. Psychotherapy provides an ally. Someone who isn't there to judge, but there to listen and hear Your voice. Your therapist can provide an outside interpretation that is informed by their education, training and experience. Maybe you aren't alone. Maybe you don't have to do it on your own.

Individual psychotherapy is comprised of joining a licensed therapist for one-on-one sessions in a safe and open environment. My individual therapy sessions generally last 45 minutes. My highest priority is to help you bring happiness and well-being to your life by restoring your mental balance. I want to help you achieve freedom from old habits, develop healthy coping skills and find new ways to respond to life's challenging situations. Every person is unique so after the first session, an individualized treatment plan is developed and discussed with you to ensure success.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.

My emphasis is on helping clients deal with whatever problems are foremost in their daily lives, right now. While I can, and will, deal with issues related to the past, I believe most people are looking to solve current problems and move on. In taking that focus, I sometimes investigate the dreams people are having, because current dreams are always attempts to solve current problems. I always look for a client's strengths, and try to use them to help the client figure out what he or she needs to do now.

Even if you've tried therapy before, I encourage you to try again. Your problems are important and significant. If they weren't, you wouldn't be researching therapists on the internet! If I didn't believe people could change, I wouldn't be in this business. You receive a free initial phone consultation with me, so you can interview me and see if I would be helpful in your situation. I would be thrilled to be given the opportunity to work with you.
