Christy Manoharan

Hi, I’m Christy—Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Perspectives, a virtual therapy practice where healing begins with how we view ourselves, our experiences, and the world around us.

My journey into counseling began in healthcare. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and Chemistry, I initially planned to become a physician. But two years into medical school, I realized my true calling wasn’t just treating symptoms—it was supporting people through the emotional and psychological challenges that shape their lives. I stepped away to raise my family and pursue a more meaningful path, eventually earning my Master of Arts in Counseling and becoming a therapist.

With over 13 years of experience in mental health, I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, and chronic stress. I’m passionate about helping people better understand their inner world, make sense of their experiences, and begin to see themselves with greater compassion and clarity.

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and encouragement.

My approach is eclectic, drawing from person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and trauma-informed therapies. Clients often describe me as warm, direct, creative, and deeply caring. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership—where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.

In our work together, you can expect to gain deeper self-understanding, practical tools to manage your thoughts and emotions, and a clearer sense of direction. My goal is to help you uncover new ways of thinking, respond to challenges with greater confidence, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are. You'll leave sessions feeling supported, empowered, and more connected to your own resilience.

Let’s find a new perspective!
