Melech Mann, LISW, EMDR, NT

As a young counselor working with children from Israel, I saw firsthand what trauma can do. I really wanted to help them.

​

Starting my journey with the typical idealism of an aspiring therapist, I picked up a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Wurzweiller school of Social Work, garnered two social work licenses in two continents, and worked for multiple public and private agencies in two countries. I wasn't fulfilled. 

 

After almost 10 years working in the field, I was in a real dilemma.

​

I had not come across any therapy modality that actually healed trauma, chronic anxiety or powerful stress! All I learned were ways to cope with it. 

​

By then, I already had a large family, many responsibilities and no time to go to school and learn another trade.

​

I was considering dropping the whole field of mental health and pursuing something else which my heart wasn’t into.

​

I was anxious and stressed…and here I am, supposed to be the therapist…..

​

Well, I can certainly say I learned a thing or two about what frustrated and hard-working people are experiencing when they’ve given it their all and are not where they want to be! As if on cue, a friend of mine introduced me to EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I was immediately skyrocketed to a whole new dimension of therapy disciplines that actually, well… WORK!!!

 

Close to 100 (satisfied) clients later and my very own practice, I am proud to continue my tradition of providing the type of stuff which really works and the clarity that comes with it.

​

My hobbies are exercising, reading, playing with my children and learning about Abe Lincoln, as well as publicly impersonating his character (to the dismay of my wife and children :).
