Dr. Monique Manderson

Welcome to STAGES Health & Wellness. I'm Dr. Monique Manderson, a dual-certified family and psychiatric nurse practitioner.

I specialize in working with busy women juggling careers, relationships, and responsibilities—often while quietly running on empty. If you're experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, difficulty focusing, stress, mood changes, or the weight of past experiences while holding everything together for everyone else, you're exactly who I had in mind.

My approach is evidence-based, personal, and deeply collaborative. We'll make room for your full story, explore your options, and develop practical next steps that fit your life.

Psychiatric care works best as a partnership. Whether we explore medication, therapy, lifestyle strategies, or a combination, your priorities and preferences belong in every treatment conversation.

• You deserve care that actually fits your life — not a generic protocol handed to the next person on the schedule.
• You don't have to have it all figured out to show up — whether you've been quietly pushing through for years or you're finally making time for yourself, you're in the right place.
• You deserve more than a prescription and a rushed goodbye — you'll leave every visit understanding your options and feeling in control of your own mental health.

• You'll do most of the talking — your first session is about me understanding your full story, not rushing to a diagnosis. Come as you are; there's no wrong way to start.
• You'll leave with clarity — by the end of our first visit, you'll understand what's going on, what your options are, and what a realistic path forward looks like for you.
• You'll feel like a person, not a patient — expect a conversation that's warm, unhurried, and completely confidential. No clipboards, no checklists, just honest dialogue about what you need.
