Our Approach
We support your growth
Minette Psychotherapy’s clinical leadership provides regular guidance and oversight for staff. Clinical supervision is provided to our clinical staff and student interns in an individual and group modality. Attention is given to ongoing care as well as emerging client problems,
consistent with our philosophy to promote Culturally humble and Evidence-Based Practices.
Minette Psychotherapy is fully committed to offering clinical staff and interns a supervisory experience comprised of interest, empathy, acceptance, and openness from the supervisor. Staff and students are made to feel comfortable in our learning and teaching environment. At Minette Psychotherapy the supervisory process is one where the supervisor will help the staff to integrate their clinical training, experiences, resources and inner strengths to achieve the highest standards of effective clinical practice.
​
Minette Psychotherapy offers hybrid 21 hour/week internships that include both remote and in-person hours. All interns are required to attend in-person hours at our office on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays between the hours of 10:00AM to 6:30 PM.

In this episode of Therapist Voices @ ReachLink, we speak with Madeline Maldonado, LCSW-R, President and Founder of Minette Psychotherapy Services and Executive Director of the Minnette Foundation, about the realities of building a private practice, the gaps in graduate training, and what it truly takes to succeed as both a clinician and a business owner. Madeline shares her journey from an early passion for helping others to pivoting from engineering into social work, and how her early experiences in community mental health—particularly during times of crisis—shaped her clinical identity. We explore the “bootcamp” nature of community clinics, the importance of supervision and diagnostic confidence, and why many therapists underestimate the demands of running a practice. Finally, we discuss her vision behind the Minette ecosystem, expanding mental health beyond therapy rooms into community impact, and creating a pipeline of confident, well-trained clinicians ready to meet growing demand.
