About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (PA) with more than has more than 25 years of experience as a Mental Health Therapist. I hold a Doctorate of Social Work, which was completed in October 2019. I treat children, adults, and families - specializing in trauma, anxiety, autism, and substance abuse from a strengths perspective. I have over 200 hours of specialized training in treating trauma and abuse, with completed certifications in autism, as well as substance abuse.
I have helped many patients with many concerns over the past 25 years. I treat from a holistic approach - body, mind, and spirit. Research states that treatment should include physical, mental, emotional, culture, religion, spirituality, and everything that makes you who you are.
"Holistic" has become somewhat of a buzzword. Let me describe what holistic means to me. It means that counseling will not fix a thyroid problem. Holistic means that a problem in one area of your life will affect every area of your life.
For example, let's talk about depression. Sometimes, people do not have depression. Instead, they might need to work at forgiving themselves or someone else; or maybe they just need hope that life will get better. Alternatively, they might have an underlying medical condition. Sometimes, we just need help to grieve the loss of a dearly loved person or a beloved animal.
I help people to find healthy coping skills, people to trust, and ways to live life to the fullest.

My doctor, Dr. Manicchio, has been engaged since our first meeting. In fact, he offered worksheets and a chance for me to self-reflect before our first session, allowing him to delve deeper into my issues.
I’m grateful to have such an introspective and intelligent guide to help me with my journey to wellness.

Dr Manocchio has been great so far. I’m 2 weeks in a I’ve found his expert knowledge and care really helpful. He has helped me with anxiety and trauma I’ve dealt with and is also just a really nice, genuine guy.
I’m from the UK so it’s been really nice to talk to someone on the other side of the world and get another perspective. Thank you!
