Hello, my name is Casey Mintz! As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my passion is to help people strive to improve their mental health through collaborative goal-setting, relationship building, and practical techniques. I Believe that every individual is unique based on their upbringing and life circumstances. Therefore, I do not necessarily believe in a one size fits all approach. In general, I utilize a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy approaches, psychodynamic approaches, and solution-focused approaches. I will typically tailor the approach to what the individual wants to improve on.

I have a strong belief that we all desire to live well. When circumstances arise that threaten our ability to live well we must stop, refocus, and begin again. I would like to support you and/or your family through the process. I have a wealth of experience with individuals, children, and families. If you find that you have experienced a life changing event (marriage, birth, divorce, new/ending job, death) and would like support during the transition I can be of help. I am well versed in the treatment of depression, anxiety, grief/loss, behavioral issues in children/adolescents, and family relational issues.

My faith in Christ guides me to treat everyone with love and compassion, regardless of where you are in your journey.

My approach is versatile, drawing from psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral perspectives, integrative and existential approaches, mindfulness practices, Buddhist principles, solution-focused techniques, and humanistic modalities.
Therapy offers a space to discover where our inner observer may be hidden and how we can bring it forward through the unconscious layers. It allows us to identify the aspects of our self-dialogue that contribute to our dissatisfaction and to feel emotions aligned with our experiences. This is the path to change, where we, as a team, can help you embark on the life you've been waiting for. Whether you're dealing with addiction, family conflict, identity issues, lack of passion, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, I provide a space where we can address these concerns together.

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
