Thank you for taking the time to consider NBS Therapeutic Solutions. I'm Steve Manza, a Licensed Master's Social Worker (LMSW), Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), and trained in EMDR by the Trauma Institute. I built my practice as a means of bringing my experience to help patients address a spectrum of issues, including trauma/PTSD, addiction, juvenile delinquency, family therapy, codependency, anxiety, and depression. I thrive on cultivating a compassionate and practical approach tailored to individual needs, facilitating a path to healing. Before coming to private practice, I spent 15 years working with incarcerated youth and their families in residential facilities, providing care and support with compassion and understanding. Over time, I’ve built a strong skill set that allows me to connect with people who are skeptical about therapy or don’t think it’s for them. My therapeutic approach is direct, non-judgmental, and focused on practical healing. As a trained practitioner of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I utilize this highly effective method for treating trauma and PTSD, often achieving results in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy. Additionally, as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and someone in long-term recovery, I am well-equipped to support individuals on their journey to lasting sobriety. I encourage potential clients to reach out for an introductory phone call.
