Chris Manno, AMFT

Therapist

Chris Manno specializes in helping clients find liberation from the struggles of; trauma, anxiety & depression, self-sabotage, career pressure, toxic relationships, unrealized life potential and much more. Chris has designed his therapeutic space as a supportive environment for those who need to have conversations that they may not be able to have with anyone else in their life. He firmly believes that even though healing might be difficult and painful, the growth that awaits a person on the other side of the process can be truly beautiful, lasting and often transformational.

Chris received his M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. As a therapist, he has accumulated experience in an array of therapeutic modalities and most commonly employs; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Psychodynamic and Existential-Humanistic Therapy. His style often involves supplementing therapy with the teaching of valuable skills, tailored to the specific needs of each client. He also regularly integrates interventions into the process, pulled from his arsenal of mindfulness, meditation and breathwork strategies to help his clients increase connection between their mind and body.

Chris became a therapist after working several years as an entertainment business professional in Los Angeles. His inspiration came after witnessing the exciting new changes taking place within the field of psychology and finding hope in our potential to meet the mental health demands of our modern, 21st century society. Thus, he has a passionate interest in staying up to date on all cutting-edge evidence-based treatments and is also committed to helping clients confront more contemporary concerns such as; technology/social media addiction, disconnection from the community, career burnout, issues of men and masculinity, mental health stigma and narcissistic abuse.

In his leisure time, Chris likes to chill with his two dogs and two cats, practice hatha yoga, listen to electronic music and discover new opportunities for growth and transformation.
