Manava Counseling
Finding
your
breath
Life presents us with various experiences.
Sometimes we can navigate situations and circumstances.
Sometimes we’re overwhelmed and pulled under by our emotions and thoughts.
Let’s find your breath and navigate returning to balance.
About Marshneil
Compassionate, Culturally Responsive, and Client-Centered Care
Marshneil earned her Master’s Degree in Social Work from Arizona State University in 2010 and has since dedicated her career to supporting individuals through life’s challenges. With experience in crisis intervention, community mental health, and both outpatient and inpatient settings, she brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to helping adults navigate grief, life transitions, depression, and anxiety.
As someone from Fiji, Marshneil’s cultural roots deeply influence her work, emphasizing connection, resilience, and the power of community. She chose the name Manava, meaning "breath," as a reflection of her belief in healing, renewal, and the strength found in each moment.
Marshneil has worked with diverse populations, with a special focus on the LGBTQIA+ community, new mothers, first-generation individuals, and survivors of high-control environments. She is gender-affirming and takes a strengths-based approach, integrating trauma-informed care, cultural awareness, and community support into her practice.
Utilizing an eclectic skill set, Marshneil incorporates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to create personalized and effective treatment plans. Her goal is to foster a supportive and healing environment where clients feel empowered to grow and thrive.
If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are with compassion and respect, Manava is here to help you take the next breath forward.
