Most of my work focuses on supporting adults through various life challenges, including relationships, anxiety, depression, and executive functioning.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care in a supportive and judgment-free environment. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders.

Hello. My name is Manar, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I support clients struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar and more. I like to create a safe, supportive space through honesty, empathy, and collaboration. I provide personalized, whole-person care that helps clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges and improve their well-being.
I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.
I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in the State of New York. I graduated from Medaille University in 2023 with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since then, I’ve focused on continuing to learn and grow through my work in the field. My approach is client-centered and informed by evidence-based practices, with attention to each person’s unique experiences, identity, and goals. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, authentic, and collaborative.
The opportunity to serve clients seeking mental and behavioral health treatment is one of my life's greatest gifts. I believe in the strengths of each client, and I believe their pain, challenges, and story. Through relationship-building and a mutual exchange of information as we define and refine goals of treatment, and the use of our agreed-upon tool kit (evidence-based intervention modalities), we will engage with curiosity in a mutual exchange of information, exploring, discovering, learning, and skill building to meet treatment goals. If you know why you are here, I am here for you. If you don’t know exactly why you are here- perhaps a thought, a feeling, or experience lead you here- I am here for you. People are unique, complex, multifaceted, and deserving of care.
I'm a licensed mental health clinician with over two decades of experience in the field. Throughout my career, I've seen firsthand that clinical expertise alone isn't what creates real change — it's the combination of evidence-based care and genuine compassion that moves the needle. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression, and I approach every client as an individual whose needs, history, and goals shape the way we work together. My commitment is to provide care that is both rigorous and deeply human.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brooklyn
Finding the right OCD therapist in Brooklyn starts with understanding what kind of care works best for you. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is often addressed with structured therapeutic approaches, and a qualified mental health professional can help you understand which options may be appropriate for you. Some people also work with a psychiatrist for medication management alongside therapy. When browsing providers, look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist who lists OCD as a specialty — not just a general area of practice — and read their bio to understand their approach and training.
Brooklyn is home to a wide range of mental health providers, but narrowing your search can take time. Consider what matters most to you beyond specialty: whether you prefer virtual or in-person sessions, a provider who shares your cultural background, or someone available on evenings or weekends. A free phone consultation can help you gauge whether a provider's style feels like the right match before you commit to a full session.
Therapy in New York City can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to bring costs down. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. That makes it easier to find an OCD specialist in Brooklyn who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
