Amy Manko works with people who wake up some mornings feeling unable to get out of bed, lacking motivation, or uncertain why they feel stuck or lost. It can feel frightening to imagine that this is how every day will be, and she supports clients who are scared, sad, overwhelmed, or alone after the death of a loved one.

She also helps individuals and families navigate relationship conflicts with partners, children, friends, or other relatives, and supports parents whose child is acting out, not listening, or unwilling to talk about what is happening. Amy assists people who are haunted by past hurts, couples and individuals facing infertility, and those who feel chronically frustrated and stressed and unable to manage their reactions – situations that signal something needs to change.

Amy’s goal with each person is to help them rediscover themselves, find greater peace, strengthen communication with the people in their lives, and reconnect with a sense of joy and purpose. She encourages clients to picture their best selves – happier, more in control of stress, and able to face life’s challenges with renewed energy – and she works to help them reach that place.

Clients often notice a change within a few sessions. Amy brings 17 years of clinical experience to her work and is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida, holding the LCSW credential with license number SW8077. She is certified in Rapid Trauma Resolution (RTR) and has experience treating grief and loss, infertility-related distress, trauma, relationship problems, stress management, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. Amy has worked successfully with children, teens, adults, and families to help them move toward a happier, more peaceful way of living.
