Mr Mintie is a cognitive-behavioral therapist, educator and best-selling author with 30 years experience helping patients live happier, more satisfying lives.
If you or a loved one are suffering the physical and emotional distress of anxiety, depression, or PTSD, my heart goes out to you. These illnesses represent some of the most intense forms of anguish any human being can experience. I also have some wonderful news: over the last 30 years my colleagues and I have been assembling a suite of integrative approaches that target the very roots of these disorders. We're now regularly seeing complete recoveries from them all - often in much less time than we once thought such healing would take. Please avail yourself of the resources on my site, and reach out to me should you wish to connect in person.
Trauma touches every life. My colleagues and I have developed a cutting-edge suite of mind/body tools anyone can learn and use to heal the physical and mental aftereffects of trauma.
Anxiety brings more people to psychotherapy than any other disorder. CBT has long been recognized as the first-line treatment for generalized anxiety, social fears, phobias, OCD and other disorders
One in five Americans will, at some point in in their lives, be laid low by feelings of sadness, lethargy, hopelessness and worthless. Happily, a drug-free, evidence-based path to healing is now available.
No data exists in support of one hour of weekly therapy being an optimal dose. I offer interested patients four to six hours of psychotherapy for up to five days in a row in my popular therapy intensives.
My Tropic of Cancer: Living & Dying With a Dread Disease tells the story of cancer’s passage through three generations of the Mintie family. Where Albert Camus used the magnifying glass of plague to examine the human condition, Tropic uses the lens of cancer. While life-threatening disease is always life changing, it changes nothing essential. It is, in fact, always an opportunity to see more deeply into the way things really are. Tropic does this, in part, by laying out the environmental, social and political milieus of cancer's appearance. It also shares the author and his family’s psychological and spiritual responses to cancer, inviting the reader along on a deeply personal, inter-generational awakening to both the perils and possibilities that travel with this extraordinary disease. Tropic tells, finally, an exuberantly hopeful story, one likely to encourage any family touched by cancer to find its own authentic, life-affirming and human response.
