Mana

Too often, we hear clients’ stories about an awkward, insincere, or uncaring therapeutic relationship with a past therapist that just didn’t work. We believe that a connected, safe, and authentic therapeutic relationship is foundational to success. We genuinely care about our clients’ growth. This is clear when clients’ see our commitment to their goals and experience the care we show in session.

When someone takes the courageous first step to enter therapy, they deserve to be honored, not shamed. Too often, therapists can be dismissive or jump to conclusions about a client due to their current condition. At Mana, we refuse to see our clients as broken, and we firmly believe that everyone has inner strength to heal.

Too often therapists put clients into boxes due to a presenting concern such as addiction. This leads to a one-size fits all treatment plan that is the same for everyone, missing important nuances that can have a profound impact on therapy. At Mana, we appreciate that everyone has a different story and different preferences. We are person/individual-centered to the core and we work with our clients to create an individualized treatment plan that works for them, while fostering their sense of agency and choice in the therapeutic process.

Growth and change are key pillars during any therapeutic process. At Mana, growth is woven into the fabric of the practice. We strongly believe in life long learning both personally and professionally. With growth as a core value, our clients can be rest assured that they are receiving the most current, evidenced-based, and effective treatment possible.
