Dorothy Manley, LICSW

"Hi, I’m Dorothy Manley, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker supporting college students and adults across the lifespan. I help individuals navigate a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, life transitions, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. My goal is to support you in understanding the deeper roots of your struggles so you can create lasting change, strengthen your sense of self, and build more fulfilling connections with others.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care. I believe many of our current patterns are rooted in once-adaptive responses to past challenges, and therapy can help bring awareness and healing to those experiences. I tailor each treatment to your unique story, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, exposure therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation to help you gain insight and move forward with confidence.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Smith College and have provided therapy in a variety of settings, supporting individuals, families, and organizations alike. With years of experience, I’m dedicated to offering thoughtful, personalized care that empowers clients to understand themselves more deeply and align their lives with what matters most."
