If you are ready for a change and your old patterns are not working for you, together we will explore healthy, realistic changes to improve the quality of your life and relationships. I work with my clients to help identify and explore ways to help make their everyday life and struggles easier. Together we build a trusting environment to create positive change. I help my clients address mental health needs such as depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I believe that counseling is a pathway for growth and healing. My job as your counselor is to give you the tools to do just that. My therapeutic style is collaborative, empathetic and genuine. I find that both challenge and encouragement helps individuals make optimal changes. I aim to teach skills that will help you better manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I provide a collaborative, nonjudgmental, and inviting space with the opportunity to promote self-reflection. I would like to help you develop hope and positive curiosity about your inner life and the opportunities for growth and healing that lie before you. I look forward to the opportunity to guide you along this path!

College is constantly marketed as "the best years of your life," but honestly? Most days it just feels like a high-pressure cycle of performing, over-thinking, and trying to keep your head above water. Maybe you’ve done everything "right"—you’re passing the classes, you’ve got the internship, and your LinkedIn looks great—but on the inside, you’re dealing with major anxiety, burnout, or just a heavy sense of “is this it?” It’s exhausting to feel like you’re just going through the motions while everyone else seems to have their life together. I’m not here to lecture you or give you a "to-do" list. I provide a real, non-judgmental space where you can finally just breathe and be yourself. Using a mix of IFS and Narrative therapy, we’ll look at the patterns holding you back and help you figure out who you actually want to be—not who your parents, your professors, or your peers expect you to be. You deserve to feel grounded and at peace, even when the future feels like one big question mark. Let’s work together so you can stop just getting by and start leading your own life.

Hi there! My name is Reese Minshew, and I work almost entirely with transgender (broadly defined) adults who have had traumatic (broadly defined) experiences. I’m licensed in California, Illinois, and New York, and work via telehealth with people located in any of those states. Clinically, I believe that the reactions we have after experiencing trauma and stress are fundamentally adaptive to the trauma, but can disrupt everyday life. In other words, if you had a difficult experience (including chronic exposure to structural stressors such as anti-trans bias, white supremacy, ableism, etc), you might not be able to eat, sleep, focus, calm down, feel excited, or be in relationships in the way you want. Whatever reaction you’re having was very helpful to you at one time, but if it’s no longer serving you then we can work on that. Most of the time we would do this by talking about what’s going on in your life right now, and working to understand it in the context of your past experiences.

We all have stress in our lives. Therapy can be a valuable tool to help us examine our internal selves and relationships. I incorporate warmth, sincerity, and humor into my work, aiming to create a space where clients feel comfortable engaging in critical thinking and introspection. I believe in the importance of integrating past and present experiences to help compassionate, creative people get out of survival mode and into connected, meaningful lives. I enjoy helping clients feel empowered and more satisfied both individually and in relationships. I tailor my approach to your specific needs and unique circumstances.

Emotional pain can make you dread going to sleep, waking up, eating and even interacting with loved ones. It can disconnect you from your joy. If you’ve had a life event that shakes you to the core can feel incredibly isolating. But major losses in life also open doors to big transformations.
