Our Values
Manuela V. Correia-Guerra, MA, LPC, NCC
Founder & Clinical Director – MVCG Psychotherapy
Leading a team committed to compassionate, personalized mental health care.
I founded MVCG Psychotherapy with a simple but powerful mission: to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals and families could find real support, practical tools, and lasting healing.
As a licensed professional counselor with extensive experience in crisis intervention, motivational interviewing, family therapy, and behavioral change, I work with clients facing anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is always individualized, respectful, and rooted in evidence-based care.
But I don’t do this work alone. Every therapist at MVCG is handpicked and trained to align with the core values I built this practice on: no judgment, no criticism, and care that truly meets you where you are. Our entire team shares one vision—your growth, healing, and empowerment.
You don’t have to face things alone. You don’t have to have it all figured out.
Feeling stuck? You’re not stuck. We can help you.
Let that be the moment everything starts to change.
