Marjorie Manuel

Hi there, I'm Marjorie!

I am very keen on rapport building and involving clients in driving their treatments, which includes active participation in goal setting and working on realistic expectations in therapy. My background experiences were focused on depression, anxiety, stress, counseling, mental health illness, substance use, grief, and the military.

My focus

I have vast experience working with adults and elderly clients with physical and emotional/mental disabilities, along with co-occurring substance use.

My approach

I use motivational interviewing to get to know my clients and actively listen to their stories. Some approaches I like to incorporate include CBT, DBT, solution-focused, systems theory, humanistic, feminist, psychodynamic, social learning, and behaviorism.
