Getting to know Courtney Minarsky

I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and parenting. Are you tired of feeling like you're never doing enough? Do you constantly compare yourself to others and always come up short? Often, we are our own worst critics, and many of us don’t even realize how negatively we speak to ourselves. A loud inner critic can make it difficult to love yourself and interfere with your ability to connect with family, friends, partners, children, and new relationships. Self-compassion doesn’t come naturally for some of us, especially if it wasn’t modeled or received in our families while growing up. I can help you learn to love and accept yourself. I recognize that anxiety is a challenging experience many people face, and it can feel incredibly overwhelming and isolating at times. Together, we’ll work on easing the burden of your thoughts, celebrate your existing strengths, and develop a toolbox of coping strategies you can turn to when things get tough. Is reactivity and anxiety impacting your ability to feel seen, heard, and cared for? As a clinician with advanced training in Couples and Family Therapy from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, I am here to help you recognize and navigate these negative patterns. Together, we will take a closer look at the dynamics within your relationships, working to identify specific behaviors and triggers. By addressing these issues, we can develop strategies to enhance communication and understanding, ultimately fostering deeper connections and allowing you to receive the love, support, and intimacy you deserve. If you have a child with big feelings or challenging behaviors and need support, I am certified in Dr. Becky Kennedy’s Good Inside Method of Parent Coaching and have amazing resources to offer. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University at Lincoln Center and the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, which informs my compassionate and evidence-based approach to therapy.
