You’re not really sure why it is hard to get out of bed some mornings, or be motivated to want to do things. You’re not sure why you feel stuck or feel lost. It is frightening to think that this is how each day will be from now on. When you find yourself feeling scared, sad, alone, and overwhelmed after someone you loved has died; or having relationship challenges with your partner, children, friends, or family; or your child is acting out, not listening to you, and not able to talk about what is going on; or you don’t know how to get through past hurts and experiences that keep haunting your mind; or you really want to have a child so badly and nothing is working; or you feel so frustrated and stressed all time and can’t control it like you want to; something has to change! Life is not supposed to be this difficult.
You want to be able to find yourself, be at peace, be happy, more in control of your stress, feel better about life and embrace it with passion, and have great communication with all the people who are in your world. Picture you being the best you that you can be. Picture you being happy and able to overcome these obstacles that are present in your life. I can help you reconnect with yourself and succeed!
In just a few sessions, you will be able to feel a difference.
I have been in practice for over 20 years and I have experience in grief and loss, infertility, trauma, relationships, stress management, life transitions, anxiety and depression. I am certified in Rapid Trauma Resolution (RTR). I have helped children, teens, adults, and families successfully overcome their challenges and return to a happier and more peaceful lifestyle.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Great!! I felt supportive and heard.
Amy has been a great help to me through some difficult times. She is always positive and has helped me to find better ways to handle situations rather than fall back on my unproductive responses.
In the past weeks I've been talking with Amy about the changes and challenges in my life. Amy is very emphatic and comprehensive, she understands my feelings very fast and can give some good advice. Many thanks Amy :)
Amy has brought my life into a better place. She’s taught me skills that have not only helped me but I’ve been able to pass her knowledge on to others. I look forward to speaking with her every week. I’ve had at least five other therapists and none of them have been able to get me to acknowledge the feelings I’ve been hiding about my childhood abuse. She brings me the comfort and caring I need to be honest with myself. She provides me with the strength to remember the past and helps me to move forward. If you are looking for a person to help you explore your experience of abuse, Amy can truly help.
Amy is extremely thoughtful and empathetic. She is happy to customize the experience so that I can better understand and follow the process.
Amy has truly helped transform my life and each day I appreciate more and more the work we have achieved together.
Amy really helps me going through a though phase in my life. She replies fast and shows me tools for self help and reflection. I feel like she had a positive impact on my life already.
I can not speak highly enough of Amy. I’ve had a number of counselors in the past and none of them really seemed to understand me, but from day one I felt understood and cared for by Amy. She responds quickly, with care, and I never feel like a burden. Thank you for everything you do for me Amy!
Amy is one of the best counselors I've ever worked with. She's been helping me through so many deep rooted anxieties by providing guidance and tools for a better frame of mind. She's always uplifting me and helping look at the positives in life. We also have a lot of similar interests which makes me feel very connected to her!
Amy really helped me walk through a lot of issues i dealt with growing up and I feel like I've overcome/let go of a lot of issues that were holding me back in life. Thank you Amy!!
Very responsive, personal and attentive counselor that has listened to my needs and adapted our counseling to maximize my success and growth!
I’ve only had 2-3 sessions with Amy but so far she has listened and understood my mental chaos. She helps me sort of organize my thoughts in ways that helps me regulate my emotions. I look forward to continuing my work with Amy in becoming a healthier being.
Amy is wonderful and I am excited and opptimistic about the future.
Amy has been a great match for me. She’s very kind and non-judgmental, and advocates for me when I lose hope in my own capabilities. She also provides very relevant worksheets. :)
She is a great listener and was got me through a very tough time in my life.
Ms.Manko is amazing. I thought I was a lost cause, helpless. She’s showing me that I’m not. Although I haven’t been with her long she’s helped me so much. Her methods, her response time, her level of expertise, she’s a great counselor. I could go on all day but it’s best you’d get that full experience in person. Try her out.
Amy is really great. She listens to what’s currently on your mind while working through deeper issues which I really appreciate.
