I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of California. I have served our community since 2012 by assisting adults, children, and couples with varying life experiences in gaining clarity, perspective, and resolution. The world can be a stressful place at times, and having a safe, trustworthy, and supportive therapist can help ease our stress as we navigate the challenges of life. I have found throughout my life that people express feeling comfortable sharing their thoughts, emotions, distress, and highs of life with me. I believe our world is only enriched by these differences that make us each unique.

I work with individuals, couples, adolescents and adults.
Life is a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs and unexpected outcomes. It is a journey we learn to navigate with a combination of our personal strengths, fears, profound life experiences, values and beliefs. During the most difficult times, our beliefs, opinions and attitudes are challenged and this has a significant impact on our mind and body. By taking the first big step and being open to working with me, I will be providing a safe, non judgmental, kind and empathetic client centered relationship with you. We will work on difficult relationships, challenging experiences and transitions in your life, one step at a time.

My name is Natalia Manzary and I am a Licenced Clinical Social Worker. Born and raised in Hawthorne, CA, I embarked on my career in Social Work in 2016. I have experience working with families and individuals of all ages (young children, adolescents, young adults, and adults). Growing up, the topic of mental health was a discussion that was frowned upon. At a young age, I noticed the cycles of trauma and fear to express oneself were continuously passed on, which essentially creates a limited environment for a person to thrive and grow.
