Elisha Manning, LCSW — Therapist in Kentucky

Hi there, I'm Elisha!

I have a passion for helping individuals learn healthy ways to cope, communicate, set boundaries, and process trauma. I have experience working with individuals with complex trauma, substance use, and a wide variety of mental health diagnoses.

My focus

My client focus consists of adults struggling to adjust to major life changes, have increased stress, or need support processing trauma. I work with adults who are looking to improve healthy communication skills, boundary-setting skills, and coping skills to manage mental health symptoms.

My approach

My approach to therapy is to create a supportive, safe environment for growth and partnership. My approach to therapy includes CBT, DBT, MI, and ACT techniques.

My communication style

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, supportive, judgment-free environment where individuals can explore their emotions and build confidence to make steps toward their goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I know that life does not come with an instruction book, and sometimes we all need a little extra support. Seeing clients gain confidence, overcome triggers, and thrive gives me the drive to continue doing this work.

My goals for you

Goal setting is important in the therapeutic process. Goals allow us to remain focused on progressing in a positive direction. When setting goals with individuals, I like for the client to be in the driver's seat.

Our first session

During an initial session with me, individuals can expect to discuss their goals, expectations for therapy, and past therapy experiences. Individuals will learn more about me as a therapist and have a chance to evaluate if we are a good fit.
