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.

In addition to working in WA state in a clinic setting, I have spent five years in Singapore working as a social/emotional counselor in a large international high school.

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Tacoma

Finding family therapists in Tacoma starts with naming what your household wants support with. Family therapy may focus on parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, relationship strain, or communication across generations. A family therapist is trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare Tacoma therapists, look for bios that mention family counseling, marriage counseling, couples counseling, attachment, family systems, or work with children and teens.

In a mid-size city like Tacoma, you may find several local options, but the right match still depends on format, schedule, and session structure. Some families prefer in-person sessions near home, school, or work, while others use virtual therapy to make it easier for multiple people to join from different locations. Attendance may also vary by session, with the full family, caregivers, siblings, couples, or individual members joining at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit and structure.

Family therapy in Tacoma 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 find family therapists who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer clear profile details before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, check 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.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and 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.
