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. Manocchio is a life changer. He truly takes the time to listen and understand what I’m going through and helps to make my problems / issues feel not so heavy or abnormal. He always has worksheets and vignettes at hand to help me understand situations better and to enable myself to heal and work on myself. I’ve learned so much in just a few weeks and what I have learned in therapy comes up in conversation within my social circle and has helped others as well!

What can I say about Dr. Manocchio? The man has a working solution for everything. He listens on a level that is in balance with the mind and soul and seeks solutions, exercises that will take you to higher levels of consciousness. I’ve grown more in the past year than I have in all of my 54 years greatly in part because of Dr. Manocchio’s guidance, expertise and experience in the field of psychology.
I’m grateful after every session that he gives me the ability to recognize my own power to experience my journey without fear.
Dr. Manocchio is the best in his field.

Written on Dec 14, 2021 after therapy with Victor for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, sleeping disorders, bipolar disorder, and adhd
Dr. Manocchio is very knowledgeable, and able to provide support and help me in unpacking my thoughts even after I ramble for a few minutes. He is lighthearted, shares real life experiences which help me feel not alone, and very qualified in his field of work. He also makes me laugh which is nice. I enjoy that his approach to therapy is rooted in mindfulness, but involves a real-life application of mindfulness tools that are approachable and not overwhelming. He is able to break down complex psychological theories/suggestions into simple language that is easy to understand and remember. I look forward to working with him more in my journey.
