“The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else.”

— E.E. Cummings

Chantal Miniet

LMHC and Professional Counselor Associate

I'm deeply passionate about supporting my clients as they navigate the complexities of their unique journeys, and it is an honor to walk alongside them towards healing, growth, and empowerment. In my practice, I place a significant emphasis on understanding and addressing the impact of transgenerational trauma. I firmly believe that by exploring and processing these inherited narratives, we can break free from the invisible bonds that may unknowingly influence our lives, shaping a healthier, happier future for ourselves and generations to come. I hold a profound respect for each person's resilience and adaptive abilities.

Instead of pathologizing coping mechanisms, I see them as manifestations of your strength and resourcefulness, developed to survive challenging circumstances. Together, we work on understanding these strategies, transforming them when necessary, and bolstering your existing inner strength to overcome adversity. My approach to therapy is characterized by warmth, openness, and non-judgment. I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive environment where every client feels understood, accepted, and valued. In this space, your unique experiences, perspectives, and identities are not only respected but celebrated.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I maintain a practice that is welcoming, affirmative, and knowledgeable about the specific challenges faced by individuals within this community. I'm dedicated to promoting equality, respect, and mental well-being for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Above all else, my role is to offer compassionate support, encouragement, and professional expertise as you explore your path to healing and self-discovery. At the core of our therapeutic relationship is my genuine care for your well-being and my belief in your ability to heal, grow, and flourish. Your journey is unique, and your therapy should be too. Together, let's move towards a future defined not by the past, but by the potential for growth, resilience, and happiness.
