Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Rolling Mdws, IL
Hi, I'm Maurissa. Much of my background has involved work with people on the Autism spectrum and I found that they struggle with the same things that many people do, including grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, etc. My experience with people on the spectrum has helped me to provide an open perspective to work with those struggling with emotional regulation and different ways of thinking.
I work with Adolescents and Adults who are struggling with stress and anxiety, the effects of trauma, attachment issues, and Parenting concerns. I have an Individualized approach that allows me to join with Clients on their journey toward growth and healing.
I'm Christine Manuel, LCSW, a Client centered and goal oriented Therapist. I earned my Masters Degree from the University of Chicago, and I have been in this field for over 18 years.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Evanston starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress. As you compare Evanston therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit what you want to work on.
Evanston has a smaller local therapist market than nearby Chicago, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. You may prefer an office near downtown Evanston, Northwestern, or transit, or you may want virtual appointments that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can also show how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Evanston 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 search for therapists in Evanston who take insurance, view estimated costs after entering your plan details, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapist profiles, compare fit, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
