I am a doctoral-prepared, dual board-certified psychiatric and primary care nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience. I hold a master’s degree from New York University and a doctorate from Rutgers University. I take pride in connecting with my patients and provide medication management and psychotherapy by incorporating a holistic, integrative approach. My emphasis is on individualized patient care with an evidence-based practice approach.

First session

I offer a non-judgmental and empathetic environment in which you feel comfortable expressing yourself. My approach is to provide you with a safe space, take the time to listen to your concerns, and validate your unique experience. We will work together to come up with a meaningful plan to address your issues with medication managemennt or therapuetic techniques. I strongly believe that even in situations that might feel hopeless, it is possible to find purpose and meaning.

Strengths

I am dual certified Nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience from hospital to outpatient settings. In my career, I have had the opportunity to teach as an adjunct faculty in New york university which gave me an unique experience to educate my NP students. In addition, my decade long role as a Director of Nurse practitioners in the hospital setting provided indepth knowledge to think out of the box when it comes to patient care.

Ideal clients

I love working with adult and geritric patients who struggle in life and looking for long term healing and stability.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I provide my patients comprehensive mental health care services. In addition to medication management, I combine therapy modalities to tackle some behavioral changes which aims to achieve long term stability.

I sought out a new psychiatrist after 5 years with the same psychiatrist. I was anxious about this switch, as I have a complex history. In the first session, I felt Dr. Manita understood me and my complex history, and we developed a plan I felt comfortable with until our next visit. She is wise, warm, authentic, and holistic. I am looking forward to continuing to work with her.

She listened to me and didn't interrupt. She asked meaningful questions and validated me. She was open to talking about a treatment plan and listened to my concerns that I encountered with past doctors.
