Mind is full of energy, so health of the mind matters first”- Hira Ratan Manek.

Hello! I'm a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing, specializing in psychiatry. I'm qualified to diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, panic disorder, and PTSD.

I believe in treating each person holistically — considering the mental, physical, environmental, and social factors that shape your wellbeing. My approach is non-judgmental, because I understand there is no shame or guilt in seeking help for mental health. Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and anxious — and helping them move through that is exactly why I do this work. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, shopping, and trying new foods.

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Austin

Finding the right psychiatrist in Austin starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. As you compare Austin psych options, look for training, listed specialties, and care focus that match what you want help with.

Austin has many mental health options across neighborhoods like South Congress, Mueller, Zilker, and North Austin, which can make narrowing your search take more effort. In-person visits may work well if you want an office nearby, while virtual appointments can make scheduling easier around work, school, or commute time. Psychiatric care also often follows a different cadence than therapy. Medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each bio for appointment availability, communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Austin can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists in Austin who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare profiles, review specialties, and choose between virtual and in-person care, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs and accepts your plan.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
