Transforming

HELLO, I'M SHARON MANNING, MSW, LICSW.

I view breaking points as radical change points. A place where an end meets a beginning. Navigating these threshold moments opens the way to both your deepening and growth potential.

Manning Psychotherapy offers seasoned mental health care to adults in Massachusetts through telehealth. With 17 years of experience, I have worked in various institutional settings, including long-term inpatient hospitalization, substance abuse, and community mental health. I've been with Mass General Brigham, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital, for over a decade, serving as a therapist, preceptor, and supervisor of master's-level social work students. I have maintained my private practice for over 14 years and continually expand my clinical training to maintain an excellent standard of care for my clients.

I specialize in restoring nervous system health using evidence-based integrative approaches. I focus on addressing the psyche's wounded and exiled aspects to improve personal well-being and interpersonal connection. My practice supports people committed to resolving past traumas and looking for ways to turn painful experiences into paths toward growth. My work has a dynamic edge to keep pace with your evolving needs.
