Great to meet you
If you’re struggling with anxiety, overthinking, trauma, or relationship stress, you’re not alone. Many people face these challenges, and support is available to help you feel understood and less isolated.
I work with adults and adolescents who feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. Many of my clients deal with high anxiety, racing thoughts, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries. Still, therapy can help you find hope and a way forward, even if it looks like you have everything together on the outside.
If you’re constantly overanalyzing, feeling on edge, or carrying the weight of past experiences, therapy can help you slow things down and regain control, empowering you to manage your thoughts and feelings more effectively.
I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.
Hi, I’m Melissa! Thanks for visiting! My ideal client is someone who’s ready to take accountability and implement change. I believe accountability is one of the strongest foundations for growth. When you can own your choices and patterns, you can shift them and move toward your highest self. With 20 years of experience as a social worker, I support individuals who are navigating depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and self-esteem challenges. I also have experience working with people who have been impacted by foster care, domestic violence, court system, family conflict and traumatic events.
My goal is to create a warm, affirming space where you can be yourself while gaining practical skills to navigate life's challenges. We'll work together to build on your strengths, better understand what's getting in your way, and help you feel more confident and in control of your life.
I'm Tiffany Manning, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and are ready to make meaningful changes.
My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and the belief that you have the ability to create a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with who you are.
I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across outpatient, community mental health, crisis intervention, emergency departments, and behavioral health settings.
Throughout my career, I have helped individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD, mood disorders, and crisis situations. My background also includes leadership roles within behavioral health, allowing me to advocate for clients while providing compassionate, evidence-based care.
My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered to build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.
