Menuka Senaratne values being of service to others. It is a passion that
stems from her commitment to empowering motivated individuals to develop
healthy coping skills, express their needs, and resolve issues to achieve
happiness and self-actualization. As an immigrant, she struggled with her
mental health until she met a therapist who changed her life by taking her
through a healing journey. Upon this foundation, she decided to pursue
counseling and become a therapist. As a woman of color, she hopes to
elevate the perception of mental health and promote early intervention for
people in her community and others.
In her commitment to becoming a licensed counselor, Menuka has a Bachelor
of Arts in psychology and a Master’s Degree in counseling. She uses an
integrated therapeutic approach incorporating existential,
cognitive-behavioral, and emotion-focused theories and has training in
mood-related disorders, relationship issues, family dysfunction,
multicultural issues, and trauma. By combining her education and
experience, she has acquired the knowledge to improve her clients’ outcomes
and gained valuable skills to succeed, including a proven ability to
connect easily with people. It gives her great satisfaction to see others
in a better place emotionally, mentally, and physically.
