Minimah Rush, Rutgers University, MSW 2014
Specializes In:
I’m an African American therapist who loves working with high conflict couples and families as well as adults. My clients come to me for help with things like: relationship and family issues, infidelity, nonmonogamy/polyamory, anxiety, trauma/ PTSD, sexual abuse and assault, grief, and anger/stress management. When I work with individuals, I rely on a strong, trusting, and empathetic therapeutic alliance to meet the desired therapeutic goal(s). With my couples, I draw on the Gottman Method which promotes healthy communication, builds trust, and increases emotional connection.
