Scott Mimnaugh, Ph.D.

My Approach:

My approach draws primarily from the principles of relational psychodynamic thinking, with the grounding principle that the source of our difficulties in life is often outside of our awareness, and can be brought into daylight through the relationship between patient and therapist. I have found this approach to be helpful with many different issues, and has been able to help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, trauma, and personality disorders.
 

Professional Background:

I completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at The New School for Social Research in New York City, where my research focused on therapeutic processes in online psychotherapy. Prior to joining Madison Park, I worked at the Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine at NYC Health and Hospital’s Elmhurst Hospital Center, working in inpatient, outpatient, and primary care settings. While there, I also conducted psychological and neuropsychological evaluations, and worked with the psychiatric team in conducting psychiatric assessments of patients on the medical inpatient wards. In addition, I worked at Mount Sinai’s WTC Mental Health Clinic, South Beach Psychiatric Center, The New School’s Counseling Center, and The Safran Center for Psychological Services, where I provided individual, group, and couples therapy, as well as providing psychological assessment services to adults of all ages.
