My name is Mannya Sharma, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 4 years of experience in the field. I am passionate about providing empathic and unconditional support to individuals, couples, and families in their recovery. My expertise lies in treating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all clients, and I tailor my approach to meet each individual's unique needs and goals. Whether you are seeking support for a specific challenge or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to listen and guide you toward healing and well-being.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is an opportunity for both of us to get to know each other and lay the foundation for a productive therapeutic relationship. Therefore, we will start with the introduction and establish a trusting and collaborative relationship with each other. We will review and discuss the reason for seeking therapy, and understand the presenting problem, symptoms, and concerns. We will identify and set initial goals for therapy and develop a plan tailored to your needs and goals. I will discuss with you the therapeutic approach and techniques that will be beneficial for you in therapy and outline the structure of therapy sessions, including frequency, duration, and confidentiality. I will encourage you to ask questions and provide feedback throughout the session.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I aim to create a non-judgmental, empathetic, authentic, and validating safe space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism or judgment. I believe in collaborating with clients to set goals, develop strategies, and problem-solve while respecting their autonomy and agency. I approach my clients by being genuine, honest, and transparent in the therapeutic relationship while maintaining appropriate boundaries. I value creating a sense of stability and calm, helping clients feel more relaxed and focused. By establishing this tone, I aim to foster a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship, allowing clients to feel comfortable exploring their mental health concerns and working toward growth and healing.
