I am Dr. Raquel Manning. I have over 10+ years of clinical experience, working with individuals dealing with mental health concerns relating to anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, life stressors, grief/loss, sport & performance issues, multicultural & identity concerns, and pregnancy/postpartum challenges. I am passionate about helping clients improve their overall well-being and helping them overcome personal obstacles by developing the knowledge and skills needed to create a healthier and happier life for themselves. I create a safe space with empathy and compassion through a client-centered and solution-focused lens. Rapport and therapeutic relationships are extremely important when serving clients, therefore I am committed to taking the time to make sure I am the right fit for you.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I currently offer virtual counseling services to adolescents and adults in the state of Florida. I also offer sports & performance services, working with individual athletes, teams and performing artists, focusing on the mental aspects of performance. I help athletes develop and use skills to optimize performance, enjoyment, and personal development in sports.
I love working with adolescents and adults. I work with clients who are going through life transitions, anxiety, depression, and other life stressors. I work with athletes within the mental health and sports performance arena. Additionally, I work with couples as well as women dealing with infertility and postpartum issues.
CBT is a commonly used treatment method for me as I believe that how we think or talk about our circumstances, can determine how we are capable of responding.
I have worked with couples work through issues, whether it's communication, lack of intimacy, lack of understand between the individuals, infidelity, or any other issue, we are able to repair the relationship with commitment and willingness to grow.
I work with clients, focusing on their uniqueness and what drives or motivates their behavior or way of thinking.
I ensure that while working with clients, I'm am aware and cognizant of their cultural influences that impacts their emotional, psychological, and behavioral responses.
Clients are driven toward and has the capacity for growth and self-actualization. I allow the client to take control and lead in this journey of growth and self-exploration.
