Hi, I’m Dr. Mina Park

I’m glad you’re here! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY27071) with more than 15 years of specialty experience supporting autistic and neurodivergent individuals and their families.

My private practice focuses on:

• therapy for teens, young adults, and adults

• autism diagnostic assessments for adults ages 18 and older

• support for parents, partners, and family members

I have a particular interest and joy in helping teens and young adults navigate the transition into adulthood and supporting adults who are experiencing autistic burnout.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, practical, values-based, and compassionate. I focus on understanding who you are and what you want, building on your strengths, and working together in a way that feels authentic, useful, and helps you build a life that feel sustainable and meaningful.

I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy and other evidence-based approaches, but always tailor our work to fit you. I don’t believe therapy should be about fixing or changing who you are. Instead, our work focuses on helping you better understand yourself and make changes and decisions that allow you to move toward a life that reflects your needs, values, and goals.

I genuinely love what I do and appreciate learning from every client I meet. I would be honored to work alongside you as you move toward the future you envision.

Clinical experience

Before starting my private practice, I worked in academic medical settings as a faculty member and attending psychologist. In these roles, I provided clinical care, supervised and mentored trainees, and helped develop programs serving the neurodivergent community across different stages of life. These experiences continue to inform my current work, and I continue to learn from my colleagues and clients.
