About The Guided mind, Mental Health COunseling, P.L.LC.
Welcome!
At The Guided Mind, I am dedicated to providing compassionate counseling services to individuals facing mental health challenges. My mission is to empower clients to achieve their personal and professional goals while improving their overall well-being and quality of life.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by high expectations, overthinking, and the pressure to be perfect, you're not alone. It can be draining to constantly strive to meet impossible standards, leaving you feeling burned out, overly critical of yourself, and disconnected from your relationships.
Together, we will explore the root causes of these struggles, address self-doubt, and work on improving communication and emotional regulation. We'll uncover patterns, increase self-awareness, and foster a healthier mindset—helping you take control of your mental health and create a more balanced, fulfilling life.
About Christina Minervini-Bertin, LMHC-D
I hold a Master's degree in both Forensic Psychology and Forensic Mental Health Counseling and am a licensed mental health counselor in New York State with extensive experience in inpatient, outpatient, and court-mandated settings. I am also a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I specialize in helping clients overcome negative thought patterns such as perfectionism, overthinking, anxiety, self-doubt, and people-pleasing behaviors. Using techniques grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen relationships. I also provide support for those facing struggles with intimacy, sexual issues, and relationship dynamics, offering personalized strategies to foster personal growth and create balance. I am deeply committed to helping my clients navigate life’s challenges with compassionate, tailored care.

I believe in the inherent potential for growth and resilience within everyone. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that each individual has unique strengths that can be harnessed to overcome challenges and lead a fulfilling life.
In our personalized sessions, I strive to create a supportive space where you can explore the root causes of your struggles.
