Treatment Approach
Dr. Manning’s interpersonal style is empathic and often direct. She takes time to understand what recovery means for her patients and to collaboratively develop a plan to assist them in reaching their goals. She will get to know her patients outside of their struggles to develop a strong foundation to the therapeutic relationship. Dr. Manning believes this foundation is crucial before diving into the deeper, more challenging work that lies ahead.
