Reynaldo Manalo

My communication style

During your therapy sessions, I will create a non-judgmental space to look at all aspects of what goes on in your life. I focus on listening and understanding the circumstances of your life by asking you a variety of questions and having you reflect back on your past experiences. You can expect me to be empathetic and genuine.

My journey to mental healthcare

The path into therapy started with my desire to be of service within my community. I worked within a call center for a suicide prevention hotline, helping people find hope during their overwhelming emotional suffering. My path led me to work with people from different backgrounds as they went through their own life journeys.

My goals for you

I believe therapy is there to help outline what needs to change, identify realistic steps to achieve these changes, and improve personal skills to manage the unpredictability of life. This is a supportive relationship to help you build resiliency with future challenges. Together, we can adapt a plan and develop insight to achieve your goals.

Our first session

The first session starts with us getting to know each other and then going over your expectations of counseling. We will take time to discuss your background, obstacles that led you to counseling, and the goals you want to achieve through therapy. I know it can feel overwhelming to begin therapy, and being hesitant is normal.
