Mina has been an incredible asset to my growth and mental health improvements! She is forward thinking and solution driven, yet still highly skilled at being an empathic listener and healing spirit. Also, as an Asian American, it is very difficult to find a therapist who can relate to certain experiences. Mina has understood and helped put some of my thoughts and worries into tangible words that I am now able to work through on my own. I am so appreciative of her work and highly recommend her as a therapist!
More about Mina
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in New York, with experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflicts, relationship issues, parenting problems, and difficulties with teenagers and adolescents. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse within the juvenile justice system.
My therapy style is interactive and warm, with a focus on motivating my clients to build a healthier lifestyle. I believe that every person is an expert in their own life, my role is simply to ask questions that will help my clients recognize their own struggles and vulnerabilities, and develop personal motivations and goals in their life. My approach combines humanistic, Dialectical -behavioral, and solution-focused therapy, and I can tailor our dialog and treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to take the first step towards change, a Korean proverb states that 'a beginning is half the battle' Please allow me to support and empower you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Mina is such an incredible person. She makes me feel very safe and comfortable to share any of my concerns and struggles and approaches them in a very constructive way. I enjoy that she challenges me to figure out how I feel about things and helps me view things in different perspectives. I am beyond grateful to have her in this healing journey with me and learning great life skills along the way. She is allowing me to be my true authentic self and opening my eyes to allow myself to be my authentic self at all times.
Mina is a wonderful listener and insightful human — recommend!
Mina is an absolute angel. She’s helped me uncover parts of my story that I never even realized. She is compassionate and patient, and not once have I felt judged or misinterpreted. She really takes the time to understand, question and think problems through with you. I highly recommend her for therapy!
She listens, genuinely tries to understand, and gives her honest thoughts. It genuinely feels like she's working hard to get to the root of what's bothering you and help you through it.
Mina was a joy to work with. She asked me really thought-provoking questions that helped me change my perspective. I was surprised by how much progress I made in a month--she gave me the tools I needed to make impactful interventions in my everyday life.
Mina Choi has all the qualities of a good therapist. She’s very understanding, non-judgmental and such a great listener.
