Therapist

Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away

1201 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, 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.

6100 Southcenter Boulevard, 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.

I'm Dr. Jason Johnson, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Washington State University. I have over 15 years of experience in mental health, starting as a counselor before advancing into psychiatry. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and weight-related mental health concerns, using a comprehensive approach that includes therapy, medications, nutrition, and hormone support. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where we work together to help you feel your best. I choose not to do therapy alone, so if you are looking for a therapist only without medication you would do better finding someone else.

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.
