Mindy Weinblatt, LCSW

Mindy Weinblatt is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 30 years of professional experience. She has practiced across community and clinical environments, including both outpatient and inpatient psychiatric hospitals, bringing a broad perspective on mental health care. Her work reflects an awareness of how cultural, religious, racial, and ethnic backgrounds shape beliefs and behavior, and she adapts her approach to meet the needs of diverse clients.

Mindy has extensive experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship concerns, cope with grief and loss, and handle caregiver burden and work-life balance. She also supports clients facing major life transitions, and she lists specialties that include self-esteem work and coping with life changes. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and disability, communication and control difficulties, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife concerns, social anxiety and workplace problems.

She specializes in supportive counseling for older adults, drawing on many years in case management agencies where she served as both case manager and supervisor. That background informs her sensitivity to the pressures of caring for elderly relatives as well as the demands of raising a special needs child - a role she has personal experience with.

Mindy follows a strengths-based perspective to build practical coping skills, boost self-esteem, and improve functioning and relationships. Her clinical approach integrates psychodynamic theory, ego psychology, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, and she tailors techniques to each individual’s circumstances. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored, helps clients identify their therapy goals, and works at a pace that feels manageable. Mindy acknowledges that beginning therapy often takes courage and expresses pride in those who take that first step.
