HELLO! I AM MANDY MANUEL.
I INCORPORATE BOTH COMPASSION AND HUMOR INTO MY WORK AND TRULY ENJOY CONNECTING WITH OTHERS ON A DEEPER LEVEL.
I believe it is necessary to see a person in their entirety as opposed to focusing on simply one aspect of their living experience. In this way, I am curious about your mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and social well-being and provide services that are able to address these areas of your life.
As a therapist and energy healer, I have a unique way of conceptualizing healing, growth, and transformation that rests in the understanding that love holds the greatest healing power. I would be honored to be along for the ride of your epic transformation journey toward living your full, embodied, authentic life!
I hold a Master of Arts and Master of Education in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University, and a Master of Education degree in Clinical Human Sexuality from Widener University. As a lifelong learner, I regularly seek new trainings to build my knowledge and stretch the ways I conceptualize the world around me. In addition to continuing education workshops in psychotherapy, I have also completed Deana Paqua’s Shamanic Practitioner Training and JoAnn Inserra’s Advanced Reiki Techniques.
