Vincenzo Minino, MEcon

With a Master in Economics and Commerce from his native city of Naples, Italy, Vincenzo came to New York City 20 years ago to pursue his current career as a Quality Compliance Director for a multinational company. Resolving conflicts between offices around the globe, he brings a unique understanding of what it takes to get another's world. He's currently in training to become a licensed psychoanalyst at Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy. Vincenzo sought out Circling originally to strengthen his connection with his 12-year-old daughter. Circling enriched this relationship and others through his years of weekly practice, retreats, and applying the tools daily in his relationship with his wife, Alison. He also trained with Harville Hendrix Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt Ph.D., authors of "Getting the Love You Want" and creators of Imago therapy. Vincenzo is committed to teaching his practice for personal and professional conflict resolution. He is especially interested in supporting men to reconcile society's rigid definition of masculinity and vulnerability in his weekly men's group.
