Hi, I’m Dr. Manuel, APRN, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing comprehensive, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults.

I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of Adult ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety), bipolar I and II disorder, PTSD, trauma-related disorders, mood instability, and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. I also provide addiction psychiatry and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder, including treatment with Suboxone (buprenorphine), naltrexone, and Vivitrol.

I am committed to providing LGBTQ+ affirming mental health care and creating a safe, inclusive space for individuals navigating identity-related stress, trauma, or healthcare disparities. My practice emphasizes collaboration, clear communication, and respectful, judgment-free care.

Patients often seek my services for ADHD diagnosis and medication management, depression treatment, anxiety and panic disorder management, bipolar disorder stabilization, dual diagnosis care, and addiction treatment.

Everyone deserves a safe space — and a provider who truly cares.

I believe the best mental health care begins with listening. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric evaluations and medication management for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, behavioral concerns, and life stressors. My approach is collaborative and personalized, taking time to understand the whole person, not just their symptoms.

Together, we'll develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, which may include medication management, education, lifestyle recommendations, and brief supportive therapy during medication management visits. While I incorporate therapeutic techniques into our appointments to help you build coping skills and achieve your treatment goals, I do not provide ongoing individual psychotherapy. If more intensive or regular therapy would benefit you, I'm happy to coordinate care with your therapist or help connect you with one.

My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting progress.

Happy patient looking away

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 Tacoma

Finding psychiatrists in Tacoma starts with knowing what kind of care you want to search for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management often includes an initial evaluation, follow-up visits, and adjustments guided by your prescriber. People may look for psychiatry support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or other mental health concerns. As you compare Tacoma psychiatrists, look for listed specialties, clinical focus areas, and experience that match your needs.

In a mid-size city like Tacoma, your options may include psychiatrists near neighborhoods like Hilltop, Proctor, Stadium District, and nearby areas, along with virtual appointments across Washington. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so schedule, availability, and follow-up cadence can matter as much as location. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each psychiatrist’s approach, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Psychiatric care in Tacoma can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway helps you search Tacoma psychiatry options by insurance, availability, appointment type, and focus area. You can review psychiatrists and other prescribers who are accepting new patients with your plan, see your estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.

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.
