Experienced Professional Collaborative
Psychotherapy benefits are abundant when you share your experiences with a professional and experienced therapist. Trust, respect and open dialogue are the cornerstones of effective therapy. Psychotherapy benefits are abundant when you are safe to be yourself and then explore and discover the broader and deeper landscape of the issues that concern you. You will learn to identify, process and utilize the richness of your emotional experiences. By proposing different ways of thinking about your situation, offering questions that call your attention to the overlooked or utilizing your emotions to identify the bigger picture, you see opportunities to change. You may learn how to alter the dance in your relationship dynamics. I may provide you with questions that direct your attention, lessons in communication skills, or a language to articulate your core values. I may serve as a guide to develop more satisfying relationships or to provide effective parenting. I will help you identify innovative strategies that unlock and improve your personal, familial, social and professional relationships. Helping you identify your goals and then becoming more proactive in reaching them is a fundamental outcome of good therapy. Clients appreciate that I am insatiably curious, active, and encouraging as they pursue their goals. My years in business and as a high school counselor assist me in understanding the many roles and circumstances we must navigate in today's culture. My practice has served teens, men, women, and couples in the Pleasanton Tri-Valley for over twenty years. My life has been enriched by knowing so many so well.

Creating hope for healing so you can reach your goals.
The mission of Therapy2Thrive™ is to provide clients with a therapeutic relationship that provides thoughtful, caring foundation that builds trust and safety for our clients. Therapy2Thrive™ works with our clients with practical research based counseling skills and interventions to assist people in making choices to lead to more joy and less distress in their lives. We offer: 1) Research and evidence based theory and interventions. 2) Practical solutions that support positive change. 3) Guidance that supports helping people to help themselves. 4) Relatable therapists who provide services of quality, value and worth. Life brings challenges and how we care for ourselves is important. Our goal and Therapy2Thrive™ is to move you toward self value and self care. Imagine yourself standing on a beach, as the waves crash upon you. Each wave nearly knocks you over. You feel breathless as the waves continue to roll in. You tire, you feel worn, your zest for each day dampens and what once was a joyful view of the sea has now turned into a stressful experience. Holding yourself, day by day in order to make it through the daily grind your passion diminishes and you feel worn. At Therapy2Thrive™ we work with you to implement the tools and strategies that allow you to stabilize your feet in the sandy beach. We work with you to strengthen you stance and the muscles inside of yourself to sustain the waves that crash upon us as the tides of life pass in and out. We work with out clients to feel re-refreshed, so they can feel breeze and not be blown over by the wind that comes off the waters of life. We work with you to not just sustain but to thrive again to find the joy of playing on the beach in your life. Embrace the fun and laughter again and let go of the burnout and apathy of stress and despair. We work with your courage of all you have survived and move you with hope to thrive again. We offer services that include individual counseling, couples counseling, family counseling and group counseling. We provide services for adults, youth and seniors. Individual counseling is one of the most common ways people participate in the counseling process at Therapy2Thrive™ Pleasanton. The individual counseling relationship between client and therapist becomes a vehicle for positive change as you gain awareness regarding the issues that are brought into therapy. Couples counseling is different from Individual Counseling because the focus of the counseling relationship is the relationship between the two partners rather than the therapist with each individual. We work with evidenced based therapies for couples counseling. Child play therapy is an important area of treatment at Therapy2Thrive. Developmentally, children often communicate their fears and worries in largely a non-verbal way. Your Therapy2Thrive™ therapist interacts with your child’s inner world through the strategic use of imaginary play, art, games and, other symbolic activities. This process of “Play Therapy” helps children cope with difficult emotions, create solutions to their problems, and develop healthy self-esteem. Therapy2Thrive™ child counselor understands the important role parents have in their child’s life. Therapy2Thrive™ works with teens to support their development of themselves while still maintaining their relationship to their families. The Therapy2Thrive™ family therapist supports the family’s overall health and well-being through skill development and shared growth. Group counseling provides a setting where a group of people come together, usually on a weekly basis, to explore, learn and grow through the collaborative sharing of the group’s members. Come join us at Therapy2Thrive™ to Thrive Again!

I specialize in Imago Relational Therapy for Couples in my office in Walnut Creek, CA. I also have a mobile practice in Oakland, CA. I use Imago, based on the work of Harville Hendrix in his best selling book, "Getting the Love that you Want - A Guide for Couples", to help couples understand the unconscious blocks that keep them from relating in healthy ways. These challenges often are related to developmental wounds that both partners share. I help partners become more conscious of these challenges that lead to defensive behaviors between them. Imago works and I love using it to help my clients grow. I also work with individuals from a psycho-dynamic approach. This means that many difficulties can be related to childhood developmental milestones that were not reached, usually because the emotional environment did not allow for it. I always integrate aspects of Imago Relational Therapy into my individual work as relationships are usually a part of the issue. I use creative expression in my sessions using art and client specific assignments that will help unlock repressed energy and release old wounds. I have experience with all kinds of childhood loss and trauma. I have experience with addiction issues, especially sexual addiction, and I am always looking for men who want to be part of a men's group. I also run couple's groups for those wanting the value of community with other couples.

If it's not one thing, it's your mother.
Learn to love yourself in all the ways she couldn't.
If you had a mom (or dad) who was critical, emotionally cold or distant, demanding or dismissive, you probably struggle with feeling not-good-enough. You might find you work way too hard to prove your worth. You might be overly responsible - to everyone but yourself. You might feel anxious about being judged or rejected. But no one judges you as harshly as your own inner critic. And that might be leaving you exhausted and depressed. Having a parent who can't convey that you mean everything to them, all the time, without ever having to earn love leaves us scrambling to earn love, respect and approval in every area of life - work, love, and friendship. It's terrible to feel we can lose respect, admiration and care if we make a wrong move. What's really true is this: You can't earn love (and don't have to) to feel valued. It is being loved without limits for no good reason that makes us feel secure in the knowledge that we are lovable. If you didn't get this kind of love as a kid, no worries. You can have it now. The key is learning how to give it to YOURSELF. My job is to teach you HOW. When you have your own love, everything else changes. It becomes easier to say no to situations and people who don't feel right for you. You feel empowered to set the boundaries you need. It becomes easier to ask for what you need without worrying about burdening others. You become your full, real self, discovering who really loves YOU (not what you do for them). If this sounds like you, please contact me to schedule a free consultation.

Debora McManus, LCSW
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist
Lafayette, CA 94549
Child and Family Therapist
7/25/2012 I came to see Debora when I was feeling over whelmed by the tasks of motherhood and as my role as wife, I needed some guidance with parenting. In one session I felt immediately better because Debora taught me ways handle my daily stress and how to work with my kids so that they would respond to me in a positive manner. We also saw Debora as a couple and my husband also felt the positive effects of one session with Debora, everyday we use tips Debora taught us to be a better husband and wife and also parents. I could not be happier with the results thus far. -Lafayette Mom 7/23/2012 Debora brought my family back into the warm sunshine after months of living in a cold and disconnected home. After feeling desperate watching my relationship with my young son spiral into a dark whole, she gave both us tools to help focus our daily interactions with each other so that we could once again grow together and learn to navigate our ever changing world of mother and son. My son enjoyed his time talking and playing with Debora and she always gave me a chance to review the previous week and hone my new skills during our weekly check-ins. For us, she is our safety net for the future should the need arise again. - mother of a seven year old son 7/18/2012 Debora's play-therapy practice is interactive, fun, and well loved by the children who receive services. We are more than pleased with her program, and are so happy to be working with her. Play-therapy, as opposed to talk therapy, uses play and active processes to help children express feelings and learn new behaviors. It's like they are going to play with a friend who helps, rather than going to a "therapist". We (as parents of a child ) couldn't be more pleased. R. Pleasant Hill, CA 3/27/2012 Upon adopting our son from foster care suffering from a lot of trauma, I started researching for a therapist with a lot of experience dealing with high-risk children and found Debora. Debora has been my family's therapist for two years now. Debora has been a lifesaver to me. I could not have made it through all the trials which come from adopting a child from foster care had it not been for Debora and her expertise. Debora is very professional and goes above and beyond what is expected. Debora is always there when needed providing her help and guidance. I cannot thank Debora enough. S. (Alamo, CA)
