Lisa Manca, dance therapy San Francisco — Counselor in City and County of San Francisco, CA

I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for somatic therapy in San Francisco. Lisa brings compassion and warmth to her work as a somatic and dance therapist. Lisa demonstrates strong clinical insight, ethical integrity, and a deep respect for the mind-body connection. Clients benefit not only from her technical expertise but also from a therapeutic environment that fosters safety, embodiment, and sustainable healing.

Lisa is a warm and compassionate therapist who understands that anxiety and trauma are functions of the body, so she’ll help you heal by safely reconnecting to your body. Lisa is my go-to recommendation for dance therapy and somatic therapy in San Francisco.

Lisa is an incredible therapist and warm human being who invites laughter, tears and genuine kindness into all of her sessions. What a wonderful experience getting to work with her.

Lisa is a skilled therapist that meets her clients where they’re at and provides well rounded support, encouragement and containment to move thorough that which is keeping them stuck. She is very warm, compassionate and a truly gifted therapist

Lisa is a terrific therapist and has a knack for helping professional women work through their anxieties, insecurities and dread, so they can feel calmer and more grounded in their bodies, lives and relationships. What’s unique about working with her, is she’s trained in dance/movement therapy. So, if you haven’t had success with traditional talk therapy, she can work with you (and your anxiety) in a different way through movement. I definitely recommend giving Lisa’s therapy services a try. I refer clients to her with confidence because she’s attentive, kind, and knowledgeable.

Lisa is kind and genuine. Her body movement and attachment experience allows her to help clients heal from past trauma and anxieties and move into a place of feeling grounded. She is a great clinician, and I am honored to refer to her.
