Manasa Perera

I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT. In CBT, the idea is that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all intertwined. I want to help my clients understand the relationship between their own thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

In our sessions, we will work together as a team to help you process and work through the issues that are leading you to seek treatment. I also bring empathy, understanding and non-judgment to our sessions.

I have been described as open-minded, nonjudgmental, kind, and easy to talk to. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your feelings with me.

I have worked with individuals experiencing various types of mental health issues from stress associated with life transitions to auditory hallucinations stemming from schizophrenia. Whatever the issue is, I am here to help you work through it.

When I was younger, there were very few Asian-Indian clinical psychologists and wanted to bring an understanding and cultural awareness to the field.
