Manisha Parikh

My communication style

I try to meet you where you're at in your process and understand that not everyone feels comfortable opening up to a therapist at first. We go with your flow and pace. I will not tell you what to do, but may gently guide or give suggestions. I allow you to process as much as you want.

My journey to mental healthcare

I practiced social work much of my life and have worked with hundreds of clients, both children and adults. At some point, I wanted to serve individuals in a different capacity and help people to live their best lives, giving them the tools to cope with the stress that sometimes life gives us.

My goals for you

At the end of the session, we will review the goals and see if we are making progress. We will tweak the goals based on your comfort level. These goals can be based on assessments, or we can tailor them based on your personal goals.

Our first session

We will identify why you chose to seek therapy, and we will discuss the importance of our therapeutic alliance as one of the primary factors for a successful outcome. You can expect me to be kind, empathetic, a bit funny, and overall ready to help you solve your problems.
