Manny is a Licensed Associate Mental Health Counselor (LAMHC) and Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through addiction, trauma, and complex mental health challenges. His background in Forensic Psychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling allows him to provide structured, specialized care through virtual therapy in Florida, and with in-person sessions on our Kissemmee location.
Manny takes a holistic, practical approach, helping clients build resilience, understand their emotional patterns, and develop tools for everyday life. In his online sessions, clients feel heard, respected, and supported as they work through stress, trauma, dual diagnosis concerns, and addiction recovery.
I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to understanding people’s stories and helping them make sense of their emotions. Seeing how much relief and clarity someone can gain from being truly heard inspired me to pursue this path. I also value creating a space where people feel safe to explore parts of themselves they might not share elsewhere. It’s meaningful to support others as they grow, heal, and build more fulfilling lives.
I value authenticity, empathy, and trust as the foundation of therapy. It’s important to me that clients feel respected and not judged, no matter what they bring into the room. I also believe therapy should be collaborative, where both therapist and client work together toward meaningful change. Creating a space where honesty is welcomed helps real progress happen.

I’m someone who also navigates everyday stress and life transitions, so I understand how overwhelming things can feel at times. I value self-reflection and often take time to check in with my own thoughts and emotions. In my free time, I enjoy simple activities like listening to music or going for walks to reset. These small habits help me stay grounded, just like I encourage others to do.
I am available for both in-office and virtual appointments on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I offer flexible scheduling within these hours to accommodate different needs and routines, and both in-person and virtual sessions.

I offer individual therapy for children (ages 10 and up), adolescents, and adults, with support tailored to each stage of development. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, substance abuse, ADHD, stress management, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. I also provide EMDR therapy to help process and heal from trauma and distressing experiences. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and designed to meet each person’s unique needs and goals.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate this on your own.
Whether you’re considering virtual therapy or simply exploring what support might look like, our team is ready to meet you where you are.
Start at a pace that feels right, ask questions, or schedule your first session today.
