So, you decided that you are ready for some change in your life? I specialize in working with people on pregnancy/postpartum struggles, eating disorders, body image, relationships with food, and growing into parenthood. In addition to therapeutic skills, I use my knowledge as a certified yoga instructor to talk about how health takes on many forms. Therapy is the opportunity to talk freely, without judgement, to someone who is ready to listen & help you unpack your struggles. Our time together will always be at your pace, following your lead.
In our first few sessions together, we will talk about your goals and how my therapy style will get to your end goals. Whether its parenting, relationships, or eating habits; it's important for you to feel heard in your struggles and supported towards success. Let's find you skills and supports, towards a more hopeful future.
Through family planning transitions and life stressors, we all could use some support. Make sure that you find the right fit for you. If you feel like we would be a good match, please reach out. I offer free 15 minute consults. Together, we will help you find the path towards hope and healing.
Take the first step to help. Call or Brittany Manchester now - (716) 592-6859

I treat individuals and encourage family to join sessions. During our initial sessions, we will discuss expectations of therapy from each other, start discussing your symptoms, and work together to lay out what goals you have for yourself and how I can match them with treatment recommendations. Each person's struggles are unique, so their therapy should be treated uniquely as well.

I often use CBT and DBT the most, as it has been studied to be effective for many areas of therapy and is hands-on. In our first few sessions, we will take the time to explore areas of your life that you are looking to improve, so we can really tailor our work together; starting with looking at thoughts you have about yourself and its impact on your daily life.
