About me
Hello! My name is Wendy Manto and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 15+ years of experience and a quite a bit of life experience. I love my work and consider it a privilege to work with each and every one of clients!
I am warm, empathic, genuine and often funny when appropriate! My goal is to provide a safe, accepting place for my clients to allow them to explore whatever has brought them into therapy. There are so many reasons people seek therapy. Life transition/changes, depression, self-esteem issues, anxiety, family and other relational issues are just a few. I help people explore how their childhoods often relate to their lives today but we spend most of our time talking about what's happening now and how we can work together toward more peaceful lives for them. I believe strongly that the relationship between myself and each of my clients is a crucial component in successful work. I work with people ages 13 through 64 but currently have many clients in their 20s, 30s and early 40s. I am happy to provide a free 15 minute trial call to. help clients decide whether we are a good match.
