Hi, I’m Kathy

Training & Credentials

My name is Kathryn “Kathy” Manning. I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified IFS practitioner, authorized to diagnose and treat mental health conditions in Maine, Washington D.C., Oregon, Virginia, and Colorado.

I hold two master's degrees — a Master of Social Work from The Catholic University of America (2015) and a Master of Science in Conflict Analysis and Resolution from George Mason University (2011) — and I have built my practice around a single, focused approach: Internal Family Systems therapy with somatic awareness.
