About Dr. Minner
I am a Yale-trained psychiatrist in private practice in New Haven, CT. I am board-certified by ABPN in both Psychiatry and Addiction Psychiatry. I am licensed in Connecticut.
I completed Medical School and Psychiatric Residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in 2016 and 2020, respectively. I then relocated to Connecticut, where I completed an Addiction Psychiatry fellowship at Yale in 2021.
I believe wholeheartedly in the healing power of psychiatric medications, but I do not take their use lightly. If medications are appropriate for you, I will discuss the risks, benefits, side effects, and alternatives to each medication, as well as the risks and benefits of not having medication. We will routinely review together your medications and assess whether each one is still serving you. If you are already on medications from other providers which you feel are no longer helpful, I can work with you to assess a safe and tolerable way to taper those medications.
I have the most training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, and I tend to use techniques from both. My psychiatric interests are broad-ranging and include behavioral addictions (e.g. gambling, internet, sex addictions), substance use disorders, technology and mental health, mindfulness, and environmental psychiatry. I take a comprehensive approach to understand your life experiences, and work with patients to develop systems to help manage those experiences.
Throughout my career, I have worked in peripartum psychiatric clinics, veterans clinics, telemedicine clinics, and others. I loved working as an educator, and I tend to bring that framework to patient care: I want to help you understand yourself, your diagnoses, and how to balance your life.
In appointments, I strive to be warm, friendly, compassionate, and attentive to your experiences. Outside of appointments, I aim to be responsive to both patients and other medical or mental health providers.
I am more than happy to meet you where you are. Let me work with you to make an individualized treatment that makes sense for you, your life, and your situation.
