In my 16 years of experience as a therapist, I have discovered that each of us has problems that at times become overwhelming. Many of us know that we are capable, but there are times when each of us find ourselves struggling to cope with certain issues. My counseling approach acknowledges this similarity in all of us. My approach to counseling embraces the reality that all of us will both need and offer help as we journey through life. More importantly, I embrace the value that my clients place upon the issues they present to me. From my perspective, any issue that you feel will improve your well being deserves the benefit of therapy to help you get there. In my practice, I take a non-directive, practical approach to helping. I acknowledge your strengths and embrace you as your own greatest resource. I recognize that each of us experience our distress in our own way. My approach involves listening to you. I believe that therapy is a place for growth and new perspectives. My clients have come to me for many reasons, but much of the time it is because although help is needed, they don't want to be a burden on friends or worry family members that might otherwise be supports. My approach involves exploring your difficult experiences, processing emotions, and building strategies to help you cope with life's challenges.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (PA) with more than has more than 25 years of experience as a Mental Health Therapist. I hold a Doctorate of Social Work, which was completed in October 2019. I treat children, adults, and families - specializing in trauma, anxiety, autism, and substance abuse from a strengths perspective. I have over 200 hours of specialized training in treating trauma and abuse, with completed certifications in autism, as well as substance abuse. I have helped many patients with many concerns over the past 25 years. I treat from a holistic approach - body, mind, and spirit. Research states that treatment should include physical, mental, emotional, culture, religion, spirituality, and everything that makes you who you are. "Holistic" has become somewhat of a buzzword. Let me describe what holistic means to me. It means that counseling will not fix a thyroid problem. Holistic means that a problem in one area of your life will affect every area of your life. For example, let's talk about depression. Sometimes, people do not have depression. Instead, they might need to work at forgiving themselves or someone else; or maybe they just need hope that life will get better. Alternatively, they might have an underlying medical condition. Sometimes, we just need help to grieve the loss of a dearly loved person or a beloved animal. ​ I help people to find healthy coping skills, people to trust, and ways to live life to the fullest. Be at Peace, Dr. Vic (he/ him) Dr. Victor John Manocchio, II, DSW, LCSW License PA- CW014668; NY – 090111 NPI 1487828554

Hello! Navigating the complexities of life can be challenging, but with the right guidance and support, you can embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and personal growth. As a licensed counselor with six years of hands-on experience, I specialize in helping individuals understand themselves on deeper levels through psychoeducation, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). Through psychoeducation, I aim to empower my clients by providing insightful knowledge about their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Understanding the mechanisms of our mind allows us to identify patterns that may be holding us back from living fulfilling lives. Our sessions will unravel the intricacies of mental health, equipping you with the tools to take charge of your emotional well-being. As someone trained in EMDR—a powerful therapeutic technique designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories—I’ll guide you through your experiences, fostering a path to healing that promotes resilience and self-acceptance. This method is particularly effective in addressing trauma, helping you process past experiences in a way that diminishes their negative impact on your present. In addition to EMDR, my certification in DBT allows me to teach you skills essential for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. This relational approach nurtures healthy coping mechanisms while cultivating profound self-acceptance—an essential component in promoting personal growth. Understanding yourself is akin to planting seeds in the garden of your mind. Each new insight allows for personal growth and self-improvement to flourish. Through our collaborative exploration, you'll unveil new perspectives about yourself and your capabilities, paving the way for achieving both emotional and psychological well-being. In the coming weeks and months, you’ll experience a journey that not only embraces your past but also helps create a brighter future—an opportunity to grow into the individual you aspire to be. Through the blend of psychoeducation and evidence-based practices like EMDR and DBT, we’ll work together to break free from self-limiting beliefs, celebrate your strengths, and foster a holistic view of your potential. Life’s path is not just about survival—we are meant to thrive. Together, let’s embark on this empowering adventure of understanding and learning, one step at a time. You deserve to blossom into your best self and navigate life with unwavering confidence and zest. Your journey toward enduring change and fulfillment starts today! I will do my utmost to ensure a response in a timely manner. I have "office hours" for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday (9-5:30). If you reach out during one of the off days, please be assured that I will respond within 24 hours. If you feel that the content of your message is an emergency, please do not hesitate to contact 9-8-8 or your local emergency room, and we can touch base when the crisis has passed.
