Dr. Cynthia Manning

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Los Lunas, NM


Raised biracial/bicultural, I knew the feeling of wondering how and where I fit in. This led to a lifetime of curiousity of what makes us behave the way that we do and how to create the life we desire. After an initial career in International Consulting, I knew that helping others to embrace life with joy and purpose was my true path. I entered the Gestalt Institute, gained a Masters in Counseling and ultimately a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I find each individual to be unique and special so the work is always client-centered. Together we can explore your strengths and expand skills to meet any problems you may be facing.
