About DreamSomatix™

I believe that Dream Psychotherapy© is a modality that can increase sleep quality, reduce long-term physiological pain, and improve psychological functioning. DreamSomatix™ is driven to empower ambitious people to make a lasting impact on the world-with a purpose rooted in authenticity, not power.

This is achieved through a collaborative, non-competitive practice that prioritizes diversity in therapeutic modalities, clinical specialties, and adult populations served. At the core of this vision is the integration of Dream Psychotherapy© as an undercurrent for all modalities, ensuring a supportive and inclusive environment for both clinicians and clients.


Dream Psychotherapy© is designed for trauma recovery and long-term creative problem-solving, helping clients uncover insight, foster emotional resilience, and approach life with clarity, creativity, and authenticity.

Meet the Founder: Marilyn D. Manzi, MA, LMFT

I work with people navigating meaningful life transitions-those who sense there is deeper wisdom within them and want to understand their inner world so they can live with authenticity, purpose, and emotional clarity.

With a deeply empathic presence, I create a safe and attuned space for clients to explore their inner experience. Together, we uncover the truths held within complexes, defenses, and shadow material-parts of you calling for attention, integration, and creative expression. By bringing consciousness to these patterns, new ego strength emerges, allowing for greater wholeness, harmony, and an embodied expression of your authentic self.
