Thomas McMinn

Thomas McMinn is a therapist who genuinely hopes the best for the people he works with and aims to meet treatment goals as defined by his clients. He brings 28 years of professional experience and practices as a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina.

Born in 1966 and raised mostly in Ohio, he moved to South Carolina just as he entered high school. Sports played an important role in his youth, and an early interest in recreation management shifted during college when he discovered a Family Therapy course offered for one semester. That course captivated him and set him on the path to becoming a psychotherapist.

His pursuit of advanced training and licensure led him to Texas, where he received his initial training through a seminary attended by his grandfather in the early 1920s. In 1989 he married and moved to Texas to follow that professional dream, and the training he received there has informed his work ever since.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is his preferred approach. He emphasizes how thoughts shape feelings and how those feelings influence behavior, and he works with clients to adjust thinking patterns in ways that can foster lasting behavioral change. He values forming a strong therapeutic alliance and combines clear information with encouragement, a combination he has found effective in practice.

McMinn addresses a range of concerns including relationship and family conflicts, grief and loss, intimacy and parenting issues, stress and anxiety, eating disorders, anger management, self-esteem and career difficulties, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
