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.

Dr. Minatrea is an advocate of positive psychology, which focuses on strengths and doing more of what works, not just labeling problems.

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.

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!

On occasion a situation in life can come up that exceeds your ability to cope. When this occurs, turning to a counselor for assistance is just as necessary as turning to your doctor for help when you have the flu. Through counseling you can gain the tools, resources, and knowledge necessary to help you through your difficult time. Your counselor will work with you to establish a helping relationship which offers emotional safety facilitated by a non-judging and unbiased ear. Through counseling you will be more prepared to take on whatever life has thrown your way, and when you leave you will take with you new insight and new coping skills that you can use throughout your lifetime.
