She maintains a small mental health private practice as a Medicare Part B Provider, working in outpatient rehabilitation and house calls to seniors and their families.

Prior to becoming a geriatric social worker, Ms. Greene Mintz worked for twelve years in the film and television industry. She likes to joke that the similarities between working in showbiz and working in mental health are staggering!
