Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, especially when you are sharing personal experiences with someone new. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and exploring what matters most to you.

I take a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and client-centred approach to therapy. We will work together at a pace that feels right for you, with your experiences, strengths, and goals helping guide our work. I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all, and I aim to meet you where you are while supporting you in reconnecting with your resilience, sense of self, and capacity for growth.

Sierra Mannarino is a Registered Social Worker (RSW) who provides individual and couples therapy for youth and adults in Sault Ste. Marie, ON. With over 5 years of experience in the mental health field, Sierra brings a warm, collaborative, and client-centred approach to therapy, creating a space where clients can feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard.

Sierra has training and experience in trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, art therapy, and other evidence-based approaches. She supports clients in exploring their experiences, building on their strengths, developing helpful coping strategies, and identifying meaningful paths toward healing and growth.

Recognizing that every person is unique, Sierra tailors therapy to each client's individual needs and goals. Her approach is grounded in collaboration, anti-oppressive practice, and the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives.

Sierra is also a Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) provider and supports eligible First Nations and Inuit clients in accessing mental health services.
