Blair Manning-Garrido LICSW

About Me

I am employed at Brigham Mass General/Brigham Psychiatric Specialties and have been a therapist there since 2013. I became certified in EMDR in November of 2022. I am a trauma and loss expert by training and experience. I have a self-pay private practice. Referrals to me at BPS are made by a BWH PCP only. If you are a BPS patient, referrals have to come from BPS psychiatric team for evaluation. You will be referred for therapies that are recommended in the evaluation. Please do not reach out to me directly as I will not be able to respond to individual inquiries. I am a bicultural, bilingual therapist with a social work degree, (MSW), with a license in MA, (LICSW.) I have 20+ years of experience as an individual psychodynamic therapist with a certification in both trauma and drug and alcohol treatment. I specialize in cross-cultural therapies for the treatment of complex PTSD, single event traumatic loss and co-occurring mental health anxiety and depressive disorders. My EMDR practice is comprehensive in these modalities in addition to strict adherence to the principals and protocol of EMDRIA. I participate in a monthly EMDR consultation group to maintain my commitment to these protocols and values. In my downtime, I engage in a daily meditation and mindfulness reflection practice. I also engage in regular exercise of yoga, jogging, cycling and weight lifting. I am an active member of Compassionate Friends and Helping Parents Heal. All these practices and supports are in the service of providing compassionate and emotionally present therapy. I only offer online EMDR now through BPS.
