Lindsy Manwaring

Hi, I’m Lindsy! I’m a Certified Social Worker (CSW) with a heart for people who are navigating crisis, trauma, and some of life’s messier moments. For the past ten years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside individuals experiencing challenges such as homelessness, serious mental illness, domestic violence, physical health disabilities, and substance use. I also work with individuals involved in the justice system, where I am continually reminded that people are so much more than their hardest moments.

A cherished belief that guides my work is that people can grow, change, and create new possibilities for themselves. I once had the opportunity to meet Sister Helen Prejean, who shared these words: “Believing that someone cannot change is a deep form of arrogance.” Although she was speaking about the failures of our justice system, her words have stayed with me and shaped the way I see people and their potential. I believe we are incredibly powerful, wonderfully complex, and profoundly capable of shaping our own destinies, even when life throws us a few curveballs (or a whole bucket of them).

I feel honored to do this work and to walk alongside people as they navigate the ups, downs, detours, and unexpected plot twists of life. My hope is to offer a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward at their own pace.
