Deborah Yamin Manocchia, MA, LCSW

I am currently providing emotional support for individuals struggling with COVID-19 challenges through videoteletherapy sessions. The foundation of my psychotherapy practice comes from a strong belief in the importance of building a trusting therapeutic relationship. My practice is based on an integrated, eclectic approach, utilizing clinical models that are best for the client, helping them to make positive changes, find and cultivate their strengths, meet their goals, and relieve distress. I will engage with clients in a supportive and non-judgmental manner, and work collaboratively. Working with clients who are open to becoming more self aware and improving their lives, motivates my work. My specialties are treating anxiety, stress, depressive symptoms, sports performance issues, eating issues, relational & parenting issues, perinatal mental health and trauma. With many years of clinical experience, I have the skills and expertise to help clients view their issues in a new way, and support them in nurturing a more active, positive attitude to create change. I work in an integrated health facility, LA PALESTRA Center for Preventative Medicine, where exercise and medical professionals work together. You can feel comfortable and part of a wellness center which promotes improving the quality of people's lives though supporting one's mental and physical health. My current availability is on weekdays for sessions.

My practice is at LA PALESTRA, Center for Preventative Medicine. I work among exercise trainers, nutritionists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and other medical professionals. My office is in a vibrant and warm atmosphere on the Upper West side of Manhattan, focused on health and fitness.
