ONLINE THERAPY ACROSS ONTARIO | IN PERSON THERAPY IN MISSISSAUGA
Michael Mannarino, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Meet Mike
I wholeheartedly believe in each person’s uniqueness. That uniqueness should be cherished and nurtured, yet often we find ourselves pointed toward our weaknesses and mistakes more than our strengths and triumphs.
Therapy can be a scary process to begin in part because we are conditioned to expect external judgement.
I begin by emphasizing something truly fundamental to my approach: you are not broken and do not need fixing. You are a person who has experienced many joys and sorrows and should be celebrated for both. I treat every client as the unique person they are and tailor my approach to their own specific experiences, needs, and goals.
I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment and value the importance of the therapeutic relationship so together we can move forward with ease.

What Mike does when he’s not working:
“Writing brings me a great sense of ease, as it allows me to get lost in my own world for a time and create something out of nothing. I am a fiction writer, I have a sweet tooth, and I have way too many hobbies.”
