Our name

The meaning behind our name

Mana is a Tahitian word that describes the spiritual energy, inner strength, and vital life force present in all living things. It is the sacred power within you: the root of your resilience, your intuition, and your capacity to heal.

Life, stress, and trauma can sometimes make us feel disconnected from that energy. At Mana Life Counseling, we offer a compassionate space to help you quiet the noise, restore your inner balance, and step back into your full potential.

We believe knowing the cost up front is part of feeling at ease. Rates are the same whether you meet in person at our State College office or by secure telehealth. These are self-pay rates: we participate with most commercial insurance companies, so many clients pay only their insurance portion for sessions.

Questions about coverage or what’s right for you? Call 814-933-4622 and we’ll walk you through it. Or see the insurance plans we accept.
