Hi, I’m Elizabeth Manzetti, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and the Founder of The Mind Gym Counseling & Wellness Services in Twinsburg, Ohio.

If you’re considering counseling, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or unsure about what comes next. Maybe you’re dealing with something specific, such as anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, a major life transition, or the pressures of college or athletics. Or maybe you simply know that something feels off and you want support in figuring out why.

Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to have everything figured out before starting counseling.

I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or uncertain about what comes next. Maybe you're navigating a major life transition, struggling with confidence or self-worth, carrying the effects of past experiences, or feeling the pressure to keep performing even when you're running on empty.

I also work with college students and athletes who are balancing the demands of school, sport, relationships, and personal growth. For athletes in particular, therapy can be a space to explore performance pressure, perfectionism, confidence, burnout, injury, identity, and the experience of being a person beyond your performance.

You don't need to have everything figured out before starting counseling. Whether you're trying to understand what you're experiencing, work through something from your past, or feel more confident about where you're headed, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and move forward with greater intention.

I work with clients both in person at my Twinsburg office and through telehealth throughout Ohio.

I believe counseling should feel like a collaborative process. You know yourself and your experiences better than anyone, and my role is to help you better understand what you're experiencing, identify what may be keeping you stuck, and work toward the changes that matter to you.

My approach is supportive, practical, and tailored to each client. I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Reality Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I also incorporate nervous system-informed approaches when they are helpful.

These approaches give us different ways to look at what you're experiencing. We may explore how your thoughts and behaviors affect how you feel, identify patterns that are no longer serving you, clarify your values and what matters most to you, work through questions about meaning and purpose, or explore what may be getting in the way of making changes you want to make.

Rather than following a specific formula, I select and adapt these approaches based on your needs, personality, goals, and where you are in your life.

I also believe counseling should be useful outside of our sessions. My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, practical skills, and confidence in navigating challenges so that the work we do together can continue to support you in your everyday life. Most importantly, I want our work together to feel like a space where you can be honest, ask questions, explore difficult things, and move at a pace that feels manageable for you.

My background also includes training in fitness and nutrition. I’m a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

My background in both mental health and wellness has given me an appreciation for the connection between our mental and physical well-being. While counseling is not fitness or nutrition coaching, I value looking at the whole person and considering how different aspects of our lives can affect how we feel, function, and cope.

I hope counseling becomes a place where you can slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what you're experiencing without judgment.

My goal is not to tell you who you should be or what choices you should make. Instead, I want to help you better understand yourself, recognize the patterns that may be getting in your way, and develop the confidence to make choices that feel right for you.

Whether you're working through anxiety or emotional overwhelm, navigating a transition, processing past experiences, or trying to reconnect with who you are beyond your roles and responsibilities, I hope you leave therapy with greater clarity and a stronger sense of yourself.

Most of all, I hope you find that change doesn't require becoming someone different. Sometimes, it means understanding yourself more deeply and learning how to move forward in a way that feels more intentional, authentic, and sustainable.
