I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 30 years of professional experience. I have worked in community and clinical settings, including both outpatient and inpatient psychiatric hospitals. I am culturally competent in working with clients from diverse religious, racial, and ethnic backgrounds, knowing how our different cultural backgrounds can influence our beliefs and behavior. I possess extensive experience in helping clients to cope with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, couples counseling, grief and loss, caregiver burden, work-life balance, and life transitions.
I specialize in supportive counseling with older adults, having worked with this population in case management agencies for many years as both a case manager and supervisor. I am sensitive to the stress involved with caregiving for elderly relatives as well as taking care of special needs children, having raised a special needs child myself.
I use a strengths-based perspective to build effective coping skills as well as to improve self-esteem, functioning, and healthier relationships. I draw my therapeutic approach from psychodynamic theory, ego psychology, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I tailor my approach according to the individual needs of each client. I build trust with clients by maintaining an open and safe environment where their thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Then I assist clients with identifying their goals for therapy and work with them at their pace to achieve them. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mindy Weinblatt. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Mindy has been a godsend for me. She really really cares. Her follow ups and attention to detail (as well as memory of small items) is incredible. I am truly lucky to have found Mindy.
