Eli Manata Sloan, FL LCSW SW27349

Recovery, reconnection, and repair are possible, even when things feel impossible to come back from.

I’m Eli Manata, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, and emotional distress related to substance use, gambling-related harm, sexual health, intimacy, and relationship challenges. I also support individuals experiencing sexual behaviors that feel difficult to manage, trauma, grief, and life transitions.

Whatever the pattern, we’ll explore what it provides—escape, relief, excitement, focus, or connection—and how it may be affecting your emotional health, finances, intimacy, or trust. Together, we can develop practical safeguards and a personalized recurrence-prevention plan that fits your life.

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in harm reduction, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), expressive arts, and the Gottman Method. Together, we’ll explore patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, strengthen emotional awareness, and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others. Therapy offers space to reconnect with your strengths, clarify what matters most, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. Start where you are, and let’s begin.
