Manyori Pinto

I am a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than eight years of experience supporting adults, children, adolescents, and families. I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University and also hold certifications in School Social Work and Child Advocacy and Policy. I specialize in helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I strive to provide a warm, culturally sensitive space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s individual needs. I use evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT-informed care to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns, manage difficult emotions, and develop healthier coping skills. Together, we will identify realistic goals and build on your existing strengths. I believe therapy should be a supportive space where you can be honest, feel understood, and create meaningful change at your own pace.

During our first session, I will take time to learn about you, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from the process. We will discuss your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and goals in a comfortable, judgment-free environment. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions and decide whether I am the right therapist for you. We will then begin creating a treatment plan that reflects your needs and priorities.
