Aaron Manfre, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Aaron!

I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes using Person-Centered therapy as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

My focus

My approach is nonjudgmental, meeting clients where they are and fostering a comfortable, welcoming environment. This helps clients open up, particularly if they have never seen a therapist before. I guide clients to realize their full potential when managing depression, anxiety, and life changes.

My approach

My therapeutic approach involves using a combination of Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to create a supportive environment for my clients and approach specific issues.

My communication style

My communication is calm, and professional but down to earth. I believe utilizing a sense of humor, when appropriate, helps my clients feel more comfortable. I am relatable and supportive of my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I care about people and want to find a way to help them as my vocation. I love what I do because helping others is a passion of mine. What drives me to do this work is seeing my clients grow and reach their full potential.

My goals for you

I meet with clients to build rapport while gathering background information. I ask what specific areas of their lives are affected by depression, anxiety, or other situations they face. We then collaborate on creating goals and discuss steps that will work for them in reaching those goals.

Our first session

My clients will find a friendly and real person who is looking to build rapport with them. We will gather pertinent information while also learning about other areas of their lives such as interests and strengths.
