Minimah Rush

Hi! My name is Minimah (Ma-Ni-Mah). I am an African American therapist, with 10+ years of experience, who loves working with high conflict couples and families as well as adults. My clients come to me for help with things such as- relationship and family issues, infidelity, anxiety, depression, nonmonogamy/polyamory, trauma/ PTSD, sexual abuse and assault, grief, and anger/stress management. When I work with families, I make sure it is an complete joint effort. With my couples, I draw on the Gottman Method which promotes healthy communication, builds trust, and increases emotional connection.

My Specialties are as follows- Trauma and PTSD, Relationship/Martial Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Family Conflict, Nonmonogamy/Polyamory Relationships, Grief, Infertility, Life Transitions, Marital and Premarital Counseling; Transgender/LGBTQ+ Concerns.

I use the following methods/approaches when aiding my clients-

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Couples Counseling

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Gottman Method

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT)

Strength-Based Therapy

During our first session, clients can expect to be greeted warmly, complete intake interviewing (bio, psych, and social information), share background/history of their current concern(s), and set therapeutic goals.

This is apart of the engagement phase of therapy- the initial stage where the therapist and client meet, build trust, and form a working relationship.
