Through various experiences working with teens, adults, and seniors I was able to utilize integrative practice methods, including spirituality, CBT, and life experience to best help another individual redevelop hisher idea of life's journey.

Fall has a way of sneaking up on you, suddenly the holidays are coming, the days feel heavier, and if you're already struggling, that weight can get overwhelming fast. I help adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck find more stability and clarity, including those navigating trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or psychosis. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. I tailor our work to meet you exactly where you are (not a one-size-fits-all plan) using evidence-based methods, creative tools, or both. Together, we'll get you to 'I got this! I draw from a few modalities including Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which helps reframe distressing memories to eliminate triggers, and art therapy, which can give shape and color to feelings that words can’t always capture. Sessions are often a mix of conversation, reflection, and even laughter as we build trust and move. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. I invite you to book a session so we can begin creating a plan that feels right for you. My hope is that by the end of our first meeting you’ll feel lighter, more hopeful, and maybe even surprised at how much you’re looking forward to our next session because I know I will be.

Each person is unique, with their own set of strengths and challenges. We are all here to learn and grow in life, if we so choose, and I’m here to support you in that process. Working together, we will learn more about you, who you are, what is important to you, and how to improve your relationship with yourself and with others. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, and I have been doing this work for well over a decade. I have supported clients through many challenges, helping them feel better about themselves, feel more empowered to handle what comes their way, and realize their goals and dreams. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing if our connection is a good fit.

Do you feel like you don’t have a space that is meant for you in this world? “Normal" has never been where you fit in, and that’s fine with you. But you are more than a little tired of holding up the mask you wear and seeming so resilient when you’re really just exhausted. So you want to explore deeper within yourself and be true to who you are. You want a better relationship with yourself and those you are around, whether friends, family, or romantic partners. You can improve and grow your relationships. You can absolutely learn new skills and strengthen what’s already there. It might be really fucking difficult, but you’ve gotten this far, haven’t you? All of the resources to be the best you are already there. They’re just waiting to be unlocked. But you don’t have to do it all alone. I can help. Not as some high-and-mighty expert, but as your guide. Because I’ve been there too. I know how hard it is to balance all of your competing needs. I’m Latina, autistic, and an ADHDer. I get it.

I am nurturing and thoughtful. I will help you find the words to describe your experience and ensure you feel seen and heard. I will also help you decode the language you use to describe your experiences to uncover core schemas that may be generating self-defeating patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. I focus on your relational capacity, and can teach you how to be your most authentic Self and most effective advocate.

My work focuses on individuals dealing with substance use alongside mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), grief and loss, and trauma. I provide clinical insight and care coordination to help each person create a clear, practical plan that promotes stability and supports progress toward recovery. If you’re feeling stuck or uncertain about your next steps, you don’t have to navigate it on your own. Taking that first step to reach out can be challenging, but it can also open the door to meaningful change. I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where we can work together to better understand your situation and identify a path forward that feels right.

I am a compassionate Mental Health Counselor specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work collaboratively with clients to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is supportive, goal-oriented, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, or everyday challenges, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and empowered. Through CBT, I help clients build effective coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and gain confidence in managing life’s difficulties. Together, we will focus on developing healthier thought patterns and behaviors so you can move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of well-being. Clients come to my practice for a variety of reasons, often when life begins to feel overwhelming or difficult to manage alone. Many are navigating anxiety, stress, or persistent worry that interferes with their daily lives. Others may be experiencing feelings of sadness, burnout, or struggling to cope with major life changes such as transitions in relationships, parenthood, or career. Some clients seek support to better understand their thoughts and emotions, while others want to break unhelpful patterns, improve coping skills, or build confidence and self-esteem. I also work with individuals who feel stuck, uncertain, or simply in need of a safe space to talk and be heard without judgment. No matter the reason, each client is met with empathy, respect, and a personalized approach to help them move toward greater clarity, balance, and emotional well-being. I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and taking that first step is not always easy. You may be feeling anxious, stressed, or simply unsure of where to begin—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I am here to listen, support, and walk alongside you at your own pace. If you’re ready to start your journey toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. I would be honored to support you.

Hello, I’m Courtney Minarsky, a licensed clinical social worker offering telehealth therapy to residents of New Jersey and New York. My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and encouraging. I use a strength-based perspective to help people understand their needs, accept their genuine selves, and heal pain from the past so that they can begin to finally feel calmer and happier. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and find healing and growth through a supportive, compassionate, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. I have experience working with clients facing a range of issues, including anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, and parenting challenges. My goal is to create a safe space where you can feel heard and understood while offering practical tools and insights that can support you in overcoming difficulties and making lasting positive changes. Together, we’ll collaborate to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a way that brings clarity and healing.

I view therapy as a collaborative process to which we both bring insight, feedback, expertise. Your experience and growth is central to the process and my goal is to facilitate a rewarding and productive process for you. Whether you are grappling with anxiety, sadness, conflict, fear, or any other human experience, I will approach the issue with curiosity, warmth and honesty.

I am currently taking new patients who are experiencing problems with work, school and/or relationships that are due to obsessive and problematic usage of internet/computer/video games. Depression and anxiety are often associated with excessive use of these interactive technologies. Within the past seven years, I have seen a significant rise in my practice in people who have experienced major difficulties that have been rooted in spending too much time online, or excessively involved in one or more forms of interactive technology (i.e., computer/video games). For some, it has to do with excessive internet surfing. For others, it may involve multi-user online games (e.g., World of Warcraft, Call of Duty). A growing number of people have reported spending ("wasting") hours upon hours on blogs, watching Youtube vidoes, and on Facebook, Tumblr, and other social networking sites.
