About Lucrezia Mangione

If you’re considering therapy, you’re probably looking for more than a list of credentials. You’re looking for someone trustworthy. Someone who will listen carefully, understand the complexity of what you’re carrying, and meet you with both compassion and clinical skill.

Hello. I'm Lucrezia Mangione, LCPC, NCC, BC-TMH, a Holistic Integrative Psychotherapist and founder of Mind Body Well Therapy, Pllc. I work with thoughtful adults experiencing anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or disconnection, including those navigating demanding careers, caregiving responsibilities, or the pressures of healthcare and helping professions.

Many are holding everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, separated from themselves, or tired of managing life through constant effort. They have been carrying a great deal for a long time.

My work is grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy. It's  guided by a whole-person approach that integrates current research, clinical expertise, and your unique needs, values, and goals. Therapy is tailored to the person sitting in front of me, at a pace that respects both your nervous system and your lived experience.

My hope this page gives you a sense of who I am, how I approach holistic integrative psychotherapy, and a little of what it might be like for us to work together.

A Thoughtful, Individualized Approach to Therapy

No two people come to therapy with the same story, even when they share similar struggles. Our work begins with understanding you; your experiences, strengths, relationships, values, hopes, and the challenges that brought you here. Together, we make sense of what you’re carrying and develop an approach that fits you, rather than asking you to fit a predetermined method.

The values that have guided my work throughout my professional practice are simple:

• Compassion
• Caring
• Collaboration
• Connection

These four values shape every therapeutic relationship I build. Therapy is not something that is done to you. It is something we create together through curiosity, trust-willingness, and open conversation.

You can learn more about the principles that guide my practice on the Mission, Values & Inclusion page.

Meet Lucrezia Mangione

People sometimes ask what led me to become a therapist.

More than anything, I’ve always been deeply curious about people, why they do what they do, and our remarkable capacity to heal, adapt, grow, and rediscover ourselves. That curiosity shapes my work every day. It reminds me to approach each person with openness rather than assumptions.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people during some of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives. Those experiences have reinforced something I believe to be true: while anxiety, sadness, joy, resilience, and hope are universal aspects of being human, each person’s experience of them is profoundly unique.

That is why I meet every client as an individual rather than through a diagnosis. My role is not to decide who you should become. It is to understand who you are, what matters most to you, and supporting you in crossing the finish line toward the changes you’re hoping to make.

Clients tell me they appreciate that our work feels thoughtful rather than rushed; that they have space to reflect without feeling judged or pressured to move faster than they’re ready. Authenticity matters. Therapy works best when two real people are sitting together in conversation, not when one person feels they need to have all the answers before asking for help.

You don’t have to arrive with perfect words or complete clarity. Often we simply begin with whatever feels most important today.

I return to an ethical stance that has remained central to my work for many years:

• I deeply feel the keys to your best holistic health are within you, powered by the combined wisdom of your heart and mind.
• My role isn’t to provide all the answers. It’s to serve as a guide, bringing clinical knowledge and steady support while helping you reconnect with your own inner wisdom and capacity for growth.

Who Lucrezia Mangione Often Helps

Over the years, certain people have naturally found their way to my practice.

• Thoughtful adults who have spent years caring for family, patients, clients, colleagues, or communities while setting aside their own needs.
• Highly sensitive people who experience the world deeply and sometimes feel overwhelmed by its constant demands. 
• Professionals navigating anxiety, emotional exhaustion, difficult life transitions, or the effects of traumatic experiences.
• Caregivers, healthcare professionals, who are struggling with emotional exhaustion and burnout due to the unique, daily pressures of being helpful and in service to others.

You don’t need to fit neatly into any of these descriptions, or arrive with a diagnosis, to work with me. Many people reach out because they know something isn’t working anymore, and they want life to feel more manageable, or themselves to feel more grounded. Sometimes that awareness is enough to begin.

If you’d like to learn more about the people I most often support, you can explore my pages on Highly Sensitive Adults, Healthcare Professionals, Emotional Exhaustion, and Trauma Recovery.

What Clients Often Appreciate

Clients describe feeling genuinely heard, not simply listened to, but understood; with time to think out loud before being rushed toward solutions. They value conversations that are compassionate and practical, where difficult experiences can be explored without judgment, and where meaningful change develops through small, steady shifts that become part of everyday life.

Therapy should honor your strengths as much as your struggles. It’s important to understand what has contributed to your pain. It’s equally important to recognize the resilience and resources that have helped you make it this far. Above all, I hope you experience holistic integrative psychotherapy as a place where you no longer have to carry everything alone.

If You’re Ready to Take the Next Step

Finding the right therapist is an important decision, and it’s okay to take your time. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Many people contact me knowing only that something no longer feels sustainable. Together, we can begin there.

A no-charge consultation is an opportunity to have a conversation. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you here, what you’re hoping for, and any questions you have about holistic therapy or my approach. We’ll also explore whether working together feels like a good fit for both of us. If it does, we’ll discuss next steps. If it doesn’t, I’ll do my best to help you find resources that better meet your needs. There is no pressure to make a decision during that conversation. My hope is simply that you leave with greater clarity than when you arrived.

If what you’ve read here feels like the kind of therapeutic relationship you’ve been looking for, I invite you to schedule a no-charge consultation. I’d be honored to learn more about your story and explore whether Mind Body Well Therapy, Pllc is the right place to support your next steps.

Professional Background and Experience of Lucrezia Mangione

My path into psychotherapy was shaped by years of work in integrative health and mind-body healing, long before I became a licensed professional counselor. Those experiences continue to influence how I think about healing today, honoring the connection between mind, body, heart, and spirit while grounding my clinical work in evidence-based practice.

Today, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut and Virginia, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland, and a licensed telehealth provider in Florida. I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Board Certified TeleMentalHealth provider (BC-TMH), and an Approved Clinical Supervisor.

Throughout my career, I have continued to pursue advanced education because good therapists never stop learning. My ongoing professional development has deepened my understanding of trauma, nervous system regulation, neurofeedback, energy psychology, psychedelic integration, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and other integrative approaches that may complement psychotherapy when clinically appropriate. These additional areas of training have broadened my perspective, but they do not define my work. At its heart, my practice remains psychotherapy: a collaborative process of understanding your experiences and supporting you as you move toward the life you want to live.

Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of meaningful change. Clinical knowledge and effective methods matter. And they are most effective within a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe enough to be honest, curious enough to explore, and supported enough to grow. That is the kind of therapeutic relationship I strive to co-create.

Today, through Mind Body Well Therapy, Pllc, I provide holistic integrative psychotherapy for adults in person in Oxford, Connecticut, and online throughout Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida. When appropriate, our work may incorporate additional evidence-informed approaches as part of an individualized treatment plan, always guided by your goals and what is clinically appropriate for you.
