Healthy Minded takes on complex mental health subjects for the layperson. Want a thorough, serious look at What to Talk About in Therapy? Living in a foreign country and considering online therapy with someone in the US? Need to know what cameraphobia is all about?  We’ve got you covered, and in most cases, we updated the piece in the last year.

We are now focused, broadly speaking, on mindfulness, psychological disorders, learning disabilities, and online therapy.  

In March 2020 we re-imagined movie posters as PSAs for the age of COVID-19.  They bring updated context to subjects like fear of crowds and fear of confined spaces. Our alternative poster of Black Swan looks at the role of isolation in obsessive-compulsive behavior and self-isolating.

Our publisher and key contributor is Eric Van Buskirk.  He studied psychology at Skidmore College. His MS degree is in Mass Communication from Boston University.

Van Buskirk is also a search-data research pro. His recent piece about people’s greatest fears, mapped by USA state, has some surprising findings about our not-so-secure world in 2022. 

With a writing and editing career spanning over two decades, Van Anh Tran is a renowned journalist and media expert specializing in lifestyle and health. She is an editor and writer for the site.

She is the author of “Is Mother Happy Today“? (“Hôm Nay Mẹ Có Vui Không”), a best-selling book in Vietnam. It offers deep insights into the psychology of women and children.

 

 


Emma Loker is an author and Psychology Editor for Healthy Minded. She’s a trainee, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counsellor at Cambridge University, UK. Loker’s written psychology articles for many websites on related topics, including OCD, anxiety, and executive function.

We are increasing review article writing in 2023. As a small publisher, we believe our editorial coverage provides a healthy balance to the increasing power of “mega” self-improvement and wellness websites run by large corporations. Small commissions from affiliate programs let us break even on costs.
