Where Insight and Intervention Meet
About NBS
Thank you for taking the time to consider NBS Therapeutic Solutions. I'm Steve Manza, a Licensed Master's Social Worker (LMSW), Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), and trained in EMDR by the Trauma Institute.
​
I built my practice as a means of bringing my experience to help patients address a spectrum of issues, including trauma/PTSD, addiction, juvenile delinquency, family therapy, codependency, anxiety, and depression. I thrive on cultivating a compassionate and practical approach tailored to individual needs, facilitating a path to healing.
I’ve spent the last 15 years working with incarcerated youth and their families in residential facilities, providing care and support with compassion and understanding. Over time, I’ve built a strong skill set that allows me to connect with people who are skeptical about therapy or don’t think it’s for them. My therapeutic approach is direct, non-judgmental, and focused on practical healing.
As a trained practitioner of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I utilize this highly effective method for treating trauma and PTSD, often achieving results in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy. Additionally, as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and someone in long-term recovery, I am well-equipped to support individuals on their journey to lasting sobriety.
I encourage potential clients to reach out for an introductory phone call. If my services do not align with your specific needs, I am more than willing to guide you towards a more suitable solution.
