Debra Manning

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have had a lot of experiencing working inpatient mental health where I had many individual therapy sessions. I also was Director of Outpatient Mental Health Clinic which gave me a unique perspective on how to treat people going through a mental health crisis. My last 5 years have been spent working with veterans with mental health needs. There is nothing more satisfying to see a person who was at a low point in their life turn it around and be able to function at their usual level, and I think it is a great privilege to help them through this journey.

I take the eclectic approach to therapy. I believe that each person is unique and needs a personal plan that fits their need. Some approaches I use are Existential Therapy, Solution Focused, Person Centered, but I really love Cognitive Behavior Therapy because it is very effective and evidenced based. It is all up to the client, one size does not fit all.

I believe strongly in recovery oriented care which simple means I expect you to recover from whatever you are going through at this chapter in your life. We start at your first appointment by me getting to know your wants and needs and together we come up with a plan to get you moving on to the next chapter of life.
