Dr. Elizabeth Portman Minne

Dr. Elizabeth Portman Minne is the owner and CEO of Vida Clinic and a licensed psychologist.
 

With extensive experience providing mental health care for adults and children in both inpatient and outpatient settings, Dr. Minne brings a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to her work. Her practice is grounded in the scientist-practitioner model, meaning she combines current psychological research and evidence-based treatments with an understanding of each person’s unique experiences, values, relationships, and goals.
 

Dr. Minne believes therapy should feel collaborative, individualized, and grounded in genuine connection. She draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral and Interpersonal approaches while incorporating an awareness of the cultural, social, and relational factors that influence a person’s life. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, she works alongside each client to develop strategies that fit their needs and support lasting growth.
 

Her areas of clinical experience include anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, neurodevelopmental challenges, women’s issues, multicultural concerns, and helping people in roles of leadership within complex systems. She has specialized training in working with children, adults and families. 
 

Dr. Minne earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, her Master’s Degree in Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University, and her Doctorate in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin.
