Therapy With Minaa B.

Are you struggling with family or relationship challenges? Do you experience anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries? Do you work in a high-profile career or a high-performing environment?

Minaa B., MSW, LMSW, is a social worker and trained therapist who provides mental health support to young adults, adults, individuals, and families.

Minaa is well known for her work on sibling relationships. She supports siblings and families as they navigate complex issues that strain sibling bonds, including parentification, addiction, and personality disorders like narcissism, as well as systemic issues such as race, class, and gender, and how they affect sibling relationships.

Minaa also specializes in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and complex PTSD. Using evidence-based modalities such as psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach, Minaa is an eclectic therapist who uses a humanistic approach and tailors each session to her clients' needs.

Licensed in New York, Minaa is employed by Therapy in The City and offers in-person and virtual sessions to clients in New York State.
