Private, trauma-informed care rooted in neuroscience and embodiment.

​

If you struggle with anxiety, burnout, trauma, chronic stress, or feeling “stuck” despite insight and effort, the issue isn’t willpower. It’s often a nervous system shaped by stress, survival, and inherited patterns.

Dr. Mini’s work helps individuals and professionals move beyond coping into true regulation, resilience, and embodied capacity—so healing isn’t just understood intellectually, but felt and lived.

​

Dr. Rattu completed her doctoral internship through an APA-accredited program at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, training in high-acuity clinical and research settings including psychiatric hospitals, addiction neuroscience programs, and neurodevelopmental clinics. She later completed her postdoctoral residency in Medical Psychiatry and Pain Management at San Mateo Medical Center in California, working within interdisciplinary healthcare teams treating complex mind-body conditions.

She also holds a Master of Science in Psychology with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy, grounding her work in both individual and relational systems.
