Andrea Manchip

Bringing over 30 years of dedicated clinical experience in the public mental health field, I provide a highly personalized, trauma-informed psychotherapy approach tailored to your specific history and pace. My deep background in public care has centered on working extensively with diverse populations, equipping me to meet individuals from all walks of life exactly where they are at. Moving past a one-size-fits-all model, we will collaborate on a customized blueprint built around your day-to-day wellness needs.

A central pillar of my practice is my deep integration into the public mental health field and ability to bridge community connections. Healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it requires a strong system of support. Over three decades, I have built extensive networks of integrated care, allowing me to help you navigate complex local systems, connect with valuable community resources, and build a reliable safety net outside the therapy room.

Lasting healing requires a safe place to start, a clear roadmap to move forward, and the confidence to do so. I will work side-by-side with you as you navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and any other of life's daily stressors to move toward your goals.

By combining a deeply compassionate, down-to-earth approach with direct, evidence-based tools, we build the unshakeable foundation you need to reclaim your power, trust your inner wisdom, and direct your own unique path toward wellness. In this space, you are the absolute expert of your own life, and you hold the power to make the change.

I specialize in individual psychotherapy for adults, utilizing core, highly effective evidence-based modalities:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A structured approach designed to help your brain safely process past wounds, complex trauma, and distressing memories so they no longer control your present.

• DBT & DBT-PE (Dialectical Behavior Therapy + Prolonged Exposure): Practical, tool-driven frameworks focused on giving you concrete strategies for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, alongside specialized protocols to safely process PTSD and trauma.

• Motivational Interviewing (MI): A collaborative, person-centered conversation style that honors your autonomy, helps navigate mixed feelings about growth, and strengthens your internal motivation to make meaningful life updates.
