Clifford McManus, DSW, LCSW

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or impacted by ongoing stress, relationship challenges, or past experiences that continue to affect daily life. You may want to better understand your emotions, respond rather than react, and feel more connected to yourself or others. Therapy can offer support, practical tools, and space to create meaningful, sustainable change for you or your family.
I provide trauma-informed therapy for individuals ages 12 and older and families, with a focus on emotional regulation, relationships, and navigating life stressors and transitions. My approach is supportive, strengths-based, and grounded in social work values, helping clients feel understood while building practical skills for meaningful change.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you’re not alone. Reaching out can feel like a big step, and it’s okay to move at your own pace. Therapy offers a supportive space to feel heard and understood.
