PMHNP, 15 years of experience
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.
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.
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 a a Director of Nurse practitioners in the hospital setting provided indepth knowledge to think out of the box when it comes to patcient care.
I love working with adult and geritric patients who struggle in life and looking for long term healing and stability.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Manita Shrestha. I was hesitant to talk to a doctor and honestly didn’t think anything could help me, but she’s completely changed that. She truly listens, understands, and has helped me more than I ever expected. I’m so grateful for her care and support!

She made me feel very comfortable. I was very thorough and finding out my history to make an evaluation of what’s going on. I can’t wait to meet with her again. She was very inspired. Made me feel really good.

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.
