Welcome to Manas Psychological Services

A Safeguard or Mental Health & Wellness Check has been traditionally offered to first responders, but anyone can benefit from checking in on their mental wellness. It involves exploring four domains of wellness - physical, social, emotional, and spiritual wellness. We also discuss coping strategies, provide education on typical responses to stress or critical incidents, and discuss available resources. Psychometric tests may be used to evaluate and monitor symptoms. A referral for therapy could be recommended if additional support is needed.

This is a confidential, supportive session for individual exploration of personal issues. Tailored to each individual or adolescent's (12+) needs, the session focuses on promoting personal growth, understanding, and healthier coping strategies through evidence-based techniques. Addressing challenges such as stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, we will work collaboratively to set goals, monitor progress, and adjust treatment as necessary, aiming to enhance overall well-being.

Youth sessions offer a safe, confidential space for teens (12+) to explore what’s going on in their lives — whether it’s stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma, or tough transitions. Sessions are tailored to each young person’s needs and focus on building understanding, confidence, and practical coping tools. Using evidence-based approaches, we work together to set goals, track progress, and support personal growth, with parent involvement as needed to ensure a strong support system both in and out of session.

Flashbacks, restless nights, and quick-trigger irritability aren’t personal failings—they’re signs your brain is carrying too much of the job home. 

Our Trauma & Operational-Stress Injury therapy helps first responders, health-care providers, and military members process critical incidents, release guilt, and rebuild calm. 

Using EMDR, ART, CPT, DBT skills, and niche I-CBT for intrusive thoughts, we tailor evidence-based care to your goals, in person or online.

A couple's therapy session typically lasts approximately 80 minutes. This session is grounded in the Gottman Method, which is research-based and focuses on strengthening the relationship through improving communication, increasing intimacy, and resolving conflicts effectively. We guide couples through structured exercises and discussions designed to foster understanding and appreciation between partners. Tailored to the specific needs of each couple, these sessions aim to build a foundation of respect and affection, addressing underlying issues and promoting healthier relationship dynamics.

A relationship check-up session is a structured evaluation designed to strengthen the bonds between partners by addressing and managing individual and shared aspects of their relationship. During this session, your therapist will explore your communication patterns, conflict resolution strategies, and emotional needs. The goal is to identify areas of strength and potential growth, enhancing understanding and intimacy between partners. Each session typically lasts 80 minutes. The check-up is recommended for all relationships, regardless of their stage, providing a valuable opportunity for couples to proactively invest in their partnership's health and longevity.
