About

Hi, I'm glad you're here.

I’m Allison Manella, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate the complexities of life and mental health. I specialize in supporting clients dealing with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I know how hard it can be to reach out for support, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed or uncertain. My goal is to offer a non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll integrate evidence-based treatment strategies and your lived experience to understand what’s going on beneath the surface, find ways to cope, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
