Introduction

My name is Joseph Manning. I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist as well as an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I earned my MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles. After being what I now call an “industrial strength best friend” for many years, and after being told countless times that I should be a therapist, I finally took that advise to heart. I bring a feeling of safety into the therapy room which allows clients to discuss anything that troubles them without fear of judgment or comparison. I am a helper. While I can’t do the work for a client, I do my best to make a space in which the work unfolds naturally and at the client’s pace. My hope is that the hardest part of any client’s journey with me is finding the courage to begin the work. When our working relationship is established, we can analyze events of the past, the present, or the future, and find the connections that nurture the understanding and confidence necessary to achieve a client’s goals.
