Dr. Manning is a passionate mental health professional with years of practice. Dr. Manning approaches therapeutic services from the perspective that one must derive meaning or attain meaning from their lives. His approach merely helps clients identify that meaning or the purpose they seek in their lives.
Dr. Manning practices a humanistic approach which is fundamentally an existential approach. This is all a fancy way to say that the focus is on a clients' capacity to increase in self-awareness and as such help them to identify their purpose.
A typical client should expect to walk away from a session with Dr. Manning with a sense of meaning or with an increase in self-awareness and self-mastery. Progress is personal and thus a client should give themselves grace when they fall short of their ideals. Clients could look forward to contextualizing their experience and accepting their story. A client accepting their own story and the part they played significantly impacts them moving forward and having the courage to write a better ending than their beginning.
