About me

Hi, I’m Manuela. I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, and I love helping people move out of stuck patterns and toward a life that feels clearer and more manageable.

Change often feels like two steps forward and one step back. It can bring up frustration, guilt, shame, anxiety, or numbness, and that is completely understandable given what you’ve been through. These feelings do not mean you are broken beyond repair.

In our work together, we’ll gently explore the stories you tell yourself about who you are and what you can handle. I combine practical, evidence-based therapy with trauma-informed and relational approaches to help you build healthier habits, regulate strong emotions, and relate to yourself and others in more nourishing ways. My goal is to help you take ownership of your emotions without letting them control you.

I also offer an integrative counseling approach combining a Christian worldview with psychological insights. In this approach I draw on Biblical wisdom and principles for comfort, guidance, and meaning. I also recognize that faith and church experiences can sometimes be sources of hurt, and I approach those areas with care and compassion. My hope is to provide a space where you can process both your pain and your faith freely, without judgment.

Reaching out for help is courageous. If you’re ready, I’ll work to create a safe, trusting space where you can bring your full story. I’m here to support and empower you as we navigate difficult moments and move toward greater peace and wholeness.

I look forward to working with you!

Warmly,
Manuela Marin, LMHC

Manuela is very good at listening to what I have to say and offering compassion and understanding in helping me solve my problems. I think the sessions are going well and plan to continue with sessions for the immediate future.

Manuela is the best therapist I’ve ever had. Truly shows empathy without validating false trains of thought. A wonderful person with optimism.

I just started with Manuela and she has been nothing but kind and patient and understanding as I speak through a decade of a mess in my life. She knew exactly what I was speaking about and was able to discern to the heart of the problem. Although I wasn’t specifically looking for a Christian therapist (tried that in the past and didn’t work out) I was so pleased to find her, as she combines her professionalism, expertise, and faith perfectly.
