About Ricardo Mancia, LMFT
Ricardo Mancia is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings extensive experience and deep cultural understanding to his work with individuals, couples, and adults. He specializes in supporting clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflict, identity exploration, LGBTQ+ experiences, and work-related stress. Ricardo’s approach is both clinically grounded and deeply human, offering clients a safe, supportive place to explore their story and create meaningful change.
Ricardo integrates a wide range of therapeutic modalities tailored to each client’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Strength-Based approaches, Client-Centered therapy, and Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic insights. This combination allows him to address both present-day challenges and the deeper emotional patterns that influence thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
As a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist—el español es su lengua de nacimiento—Ricardo is committed to providing culturally competent care for diverse communities. He understands the nuances of cultural identity, family expectations, intergenerational experiences, and the unique emotional landscapes that shape each individual. His ability to connect with clients in both English and Spanish helps create a therapeutic experience that feels authentic, warm, and accessible.
In his work, Ricardo listens not only to what clients say, but also to how they say it—the emotions beneath the words, the tone, the pauses, the unspoken meaning. He supports clients who are willing to experience some discomfort in the service of growth, helping them build resilience, emotional balance, and clarity. His goal is to guide clients toward a life marked by greater peace, connection, and satisfaction.
Ricardo looks forward to walking alongside you as you work toward your personal goals, strengthen your emotional well-being, and create a more balanced, fulfilling life.
