Kathy Manganaro, LMHC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor as well as Certified School Guidance and Adjustment Counselor. I have over 34 years experience working young adults and their families. For the past 29 years I have worked as a middle school counselor supporting students individually and in group settings navigate their way though adolescence. I am passionate about working with teens and helping them become successful, happy, young people!

I am currently accepting new clients to join my groups!

GIRLS WITH GRACE AND GRIT!: This is an adolescent group for girls in high school that focuses on skills to be empowered, independent, confident and respectful. We will explore issues tween/teen girls face around social situations and relationships, healthy vs unhealthy, self esteem and confidence and skills around communication and advocacy. This group will teach problem solving skills, build confidence and help girls work towards being a leader and not a follower.

RAISING GIRLS WITH GRACE AND GRIT!: A Group for Moms of Teenage Daughters. This group provides a supportive space for moms to share experiences, challenges, and victories while learning practical strategies to strengthen the mother-daughter bond. I am a mom myself who has led the Girls with Grace and Grit Group for six years, working closely with teen girls and gaining valuable insight into their struggles and needs. Through a combination of discussion, real-life scenarios, and evidence-based strategies, moms will gain tools for effective communication, conflict resolution, and relationship-building—helping them support their daughters while fostering independence and mutual understanding. Join us and connect with other moms who understand the journey. Together, we can navigate the challenges of raising strong, resilient daughters with both grace and grit!
