Michael Manchester MA, LMHC, P.A.'s Email

After 18 years as a sales/marketing executive supplying lab products/equipment to biotech/pharmaceutical companies and research labs I changed careers after a near death experience. My life changing experience began a journey that continues today as a psychotherapist. As a psychotherapist my varied experience and training helps me provide the assistance and guidance that clients look for when seeking counseling. My training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) allows me to effectively help clients dealing with a wide variety of problems and concerns including: mood/anxiety disorders, relationship issues and life transitions. My practice is located in Orlando, Florida near ORMC where I work with adults and adolescents and facilitate OCD counseling/support groups. In addition, I also provide marital and family counseling for families and couples with a loved one struggling with OCD or an anxiety disorder. Specialties: Mental Health Counseling/Psychotherapy - OCD/Anxiety disorders (General Anxiety, Phobias, Panic Disorder) and mood disorders. Specialized Training: Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Exposure Response Prevention Therapy.
