Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
A structured, collaborative way of noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behavior feed each other, and practicing changes that hold up outside the session.
Approach
Proven methods, fitted to you
As a cognitive behavioral therapist, Dr. Minkovich meets you where you are and adapts the therapy to what you actually need, not the other way around.
Treatment should fit the client
Dr. Minkovich is an integrative therapist who believes that treatment should fit the client, not the other way around. Her work is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
In initial sessions, you and Dr. Minkovich will identify the goals that guide the interventions used. Together you'll explore past and present, thoughts and emotions, and develop new patterns of thought and action.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Skills for riding out intense emotion: distress tolerance, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD
A well-researched trauma treatment that gradually and safely reduces the grip of avoided memories and situations, at a pace you help set.
Insight is the start, not the finish
I believe that lasting change requires exploration of past and present, thoughts and emotions, while holding onto goals and taking action steps. Therapy is both understanding and movement: insight that turns into something you can do.
