Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Tukwila, WA


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.

With over 20 years of clinical experience, I provide structured psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and individualized treatment planning. My approach integrates psychopharmacology, addiction medicine, and trauma-informed psychiatric care to support long-term stability and measurable improvement.

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.

If you are searching for an experienced psychiatric provider specializing in ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and addiction treatment, I am here to provide compassionate, evidence-based care focused on your recovery and long-term mental wellness.

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

Danny Marsh

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.2 mi away • Renton, WA


Therapy should be a place where you can talk honestly about the things that are difficult to say out loud without being judged or reduced to a diagnosis—or to the hardest chapter of your life.

I work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, suicidal thoughts, sexual trauma, intimacy and sexual-health concerns, grief, life transitions, military and veteran concerns, first-responder stress, and relational distress. Relational distress can include communication breakdown, recurring conflict, loss of trust, emotional distance, intimacy concerns, separation or divorce-related stress, changes within a family, parenting-related strain, or simply reaching a point where you are unsure how to move forward.

My role in therapy is to help you understand what is happening, identify what you want to change, strengthen your ability to respond differently, and work toward healthier functioning and relationships. My clinical style is direct, collaborative, trauma-informed, practical, and shame-free.

I am independently licensed for clinical social-work practice in Washington, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida; EMDR-trained; a Certified Psychosexual Assessment Specialist (CPAS); a Board-Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator (CFMHE); a Board-Certified Forensic Psychometrist (CFP); and a U.S. Army veteran.

My broader professional practice includes forensic mental-health evaluation and consultation. Those services are separate from psychotherapy. Once I am retained as your treating therapist and a clinical treatment relationship has been established, I cannot also serve as your forensic evaluator, expert witness, or child-custody evaluator in the same matter. Therapy is treatment-focused and is intended to support your clinical needs—not to generate an independent forensic opinion for litigation.

Find the right therapist 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 Puyallup

Searching for therapists in Puyallup starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists and counselors in Puyallup may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Some profiles may mention methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, or couples counseling.

Puyallup is a smaller city, so nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Washington. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience before you book.

Therapy in Puyallup can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

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