Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


Hi, I’m Angela , a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I believe that healing is a journey of both the mind and the spirit. I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the heavy weights of trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Whether you are struggling with relationship problems or seeking a Christian-integrated approach to therapy, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your challenges. My goal is to help you process past hurts and find practical tools to move forward with hope and clarity.

When I’m not in the office, you’ll likely find me in the kitchen. I love to cook, and I find that the patience and care required to create a great meal often mirrors the intentional work we do together in therapy. I look forward to supporting you on your path to wellness.

Dr. Cynthia Manning

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 30 mi away • 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.
