Dr. Cortney Manning-Tripp, MS LMFTA
My name is Dr. Cortney Manning-Tripp, a Marriage and Family Therapist. Don’t let the title fool you, my practice is not exclusive to marriage and family. I believe that a more appropriate title is Relationship Therapist. I work with my clients on an individual basis, a couple’s basis (regardless of sexual orientation or actual marriage status), and family basis. ALL of your relationships are important and valid to me, I work with you without judgement and with love and support.
I am no stranger to the feelings and relationships that we all attempt to understand and navigate. Learning about you is my driving force. I will help all who are struggling each day to have the healthiest life and relationships they can.
As one of the few Black Marriage & Family Therapists in Pierce County and Tacoma, I want to work with people of color to know that therapy is a valid option to the issues that you are facing right now.
