Punitha Manoharan MSW RSW

You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.

I chose this career because I love connecting with people, and helping theme discover their strengths, insights and wisdom. As we work together, I can help you recognize the full potential of what you are capable of by facilitating a process where you can discover more about yourself.

I will be there to support and encourage you, as we unravel any experiences or mindsets that may hinder your confidence in your capacity to navigate, learn from, and overcome the obstacles you encounter in life. Together, we can unlock a new way to be.

Our Services

What We Offer

The wealth of experience and knowledge I have gathered over the years has made me a seasoned and versatile therapist, and has allowed me to become well-versed in a wide range of therapeutic modalities (see below). Additionally, to maintain a high standard for the quality of support I provide my clients, I make sure to update my skills and knowledge continuously, to better align with newer evidence-based best practices for various forms of treatment.

I strongly believe that learning is a lifelong process, and is a source of power that can create positive change. With the range of therapeutic approaches that I have received training in, I strive to creatively and compassionately combine evidence-based approaches with lived experience, whether it be my own, or yours. I believe that there is no cut-and-paste approach to dealing with matters related to mental health, and so I welcome your ideas and suggestions as we work together to figure out what works for you, and forge a new path ahead.
