About Sarah Thomas Manning, LMFT
LICENSED MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST
I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years. I started out in college working with adolescent young women in a behavioral rehabilitation program, and this sparked my interest in becoming a therapist. I graduated from Arizona State University with an advanced degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I intentionally chose Marriage and Family Therapy over any other type of therapist. MFT’s are trained to look at presenting issues from a relational perspective rather than solely from an individualistic point of view. Research and our understanding of how humans have evolved as social creatures would strongly support looking at issues from a relational standpoint. After graduating, I worked in the residential treatment setting with adolescent young women struggling with suicidal ideation and self harm. I worked closely with their parents providing family therapy and parent coaching. Since working in the residential setting, I have spent several years in the private practice setting. In the private practice setting I saw clients for a diverse set of issues related to distress in relationships, problematic compulsive sexual behaviors, problematic coping behaviors, anxiety/depression, and trauma.

My Stance on the Role of a Therapist
My Stance on the Role of a Therapist
I believe the client experience should stay client centered. Clients presenting with issues should have them explored thoroughly and in a thoughtful non-judgmental manner. No one says it better than highly esteemed clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson on the topic of the role of a therapist. “It is not the place of a therapist to affirm or conversely to deny the identity of anyone they admit into their care. People come to see a therapist after long and painful deliberation because they are suffering confused or both. The job of that therapist is to listen, to question, and to proceed with due caution neither providing cheap advice and there by stealing their clients successes or by heaping failure upon them nor assuming special knowledge of the proper outcome for a given individual.”
