Elevate Your Mental Wellbeing
You've worked hard to get where you are. On the outside, it looks like you have it all together- but inside, the pressure, the self-doubt, and the endless expectations can feel overwhelming.
If you're feeling stuck, questioning your worth, or struggling to balance success with well-being, you're not alone. High-achieving professionals often face these challenges in silence, but you don't have to.
This is where our work together begins…
At Manning Psychological Wellness, I help ambitious professionals to navigate these challenges, gain clarity, and develop strategies that support resilience and growth- professionally and personally.
Psychological Wellness Services
Managing the demands of modern life and work often brings emotional challenges that can feel difficult to navigate alone. Fast-paced environments, demanding careers, and high expectations often contribute to stress, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed or disconnected.
I provide individual therapy for adults using evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic therapy. Treatment is personalized to your unique needs, goals, and life circumstances, with an emphasis on meaningful, sustainable change.
Individual therapy can support you in addressing:
Anxiety, Depression and mood concerns
Work-related stress and burnout
Life transitions and identity shifts
Self-esteem challenges
Interpersonal difficulties and improve relationship patterns
Therapy offers a space to explore underlying patterns, develop insight, and build skills that support emotional resilience and greater fulfillment.
I offer virtual therapy sessions for adults residing in New York and New Jersey, or in a PSYPACT participating state.
Cost: $275 per 45-50 minute session
High-pressure careers and elevated expectations can take a toll on both performance and well-being. My coaching services are designed for professionals who want to feel confident, focused, and fulfilled.
As a Licensed Psychologist and Hogan Assessment Certified Coach, I combine evidence-based coaching with leadership assessment tools to help clients gain deeper self-awareness, better understand their strengths and potential blind spots and identify opportunities for professional development.
Coaching is a present and future-focused, collaborative process aimed at helping you clarify goals, strengthen decision-making, and take intentional, actionable steps forward. Sessions emphasize productivity, performance and sustainable growth while recognizing the demands of leadership and professional life.
I offer both therapy and coaching, but they are provided as separate services. During our consultation call, we can determine which approach is the best fit for your needs and goals.
Clients often seek coaching to:
Gain deeper insight into your leadership strengths, motivations, and potential blind spots
Navigate career transitions or increased responsibility
Address imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or self-doubt
Manage work-related stress and high internal pressure
Build confidence, clarity, and executive presence
Feel more grounded and empowered in high-stakes roles
Cost: Pricing Available Upon Request
An introductory 3-session coaching package is available for new clients.

Working with me is a collaborative, insight-driven experience designed to help you break through the barriers holding you back-whether in your personal life, career, or leadership journey.

What Getting Started Looks Like
Schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation
We briefly discuss what you’re looking for, how I work, and whether this feels like a good fit for your needs.
Clarify next steps
We review scheduling, fees for therapy or coaching services, and out-of-network reimbursement (therapy only) options if needed.
Begin Sessions
Your first session is a 60-minute intake appointment designed to help us get to know one another. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy or coaching. I’ll also gather background information to better understand your history, current stressors, and goals.
Most clients choose to meet on a weekly basis, particularly at the start of therapy or coaching. Consistent meetings help maintain momentum, allows for deeper exploration with continuity between sessions, and a more cohesive approach to therapy or coaching. While progress looks different for everyone, many clients find that steady, ongoing work supports deeper understanding and more meaningful change over time. Sessions are thoughtful, structured, and tailored to your goals— whether you’re navigating burnout, transitions, or high-pressure roles.
What to Expect
Why Self-Pay Therapy Is a Meaningful Investment in Your Well-Being
Choosing an Out-of-Network (OON) Psychologist means investing in personalized care without the limitations of insurance, and allows for discretion and flexibility.
No insurance restrictions on frequency, treatment length or approach.
Sessions are not limited to medical conditions covered by insurance, but can address any challenges you and your psychologist determine would be beneficial to explore.
You choose the focus of treatment— no diagnosis required. Insurance may limit care to diagnostic codes, rather than what matters most to you.
Your privacy stays in your control. Insurance companies require a diagnosis and may request documentation. When you self-pay without insurance involvement, your records remain between us.
We work together as long as needed to achieve lasting change.
Can enhance your commitment to the process, helping you stay engaged and achieve meaningful results more quickly.
Ideal for professionals, executives, and individuals who want discretion.
COACHING FAQs
-
Coaching is the development and implementation of strategies to reach client-identified goals of enhanced performance and personal satisfaction. Coaching is goal-oriented, structured, and designed to create measurable progress in a shorter timeframe. Coaching provides a powerful way to gain clarity, build confidence, and create meaningful change. Sessions focus on reaching your full potential, identifying strengths, shifting perspective and developing skills to thrive.
-
I offer therapy and coaching as distinct services. Each service has a different scope, focus, and purpose. During your consultation call, we can determine which approach is the best fit for your needs and goals.
While both coaching and therapy aim to support personal growth, they serve distinct purposes and use different approaches:
Focus & Goals: Therapy explores past experiences, emotional healing, and mental health concerns often addressing conditions like anxiety and depression. Coaching is future-focused, helping clients develop confidence, leadership skills, and actionable strategies for success.
Approach & Structure: Psychotherapy is a health care service and is usually reimbursable through health insurance policies. Coaching services are not covered by insurance, as it is viewed as an investment in your future and potential, not treatment.
Both coaching and psychotherapy utilize knowledge of human behavior, motivation and behavioral change. Coaching may address specific personal projects, life balance, job performance and satisfaction, general conditions in the client’s life, business or profession. Coaching utilizes personal strategic planning, values clarification, brainstorming and activities to enhance self-awareness.
Therapy is essential for individuals struggling with mental health concerns.
Coaching is ideal for those who are already functioning well, but want to elevate their performance and/or address issues including imposter syndrome, navigate career transitions, and improve self-confidence.
Coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions and is not a substitute for psychotherapy or medical care.
-
Coaching is appropriate for individuals who are functioning well mentally, and seeking support with performance, confidence, leadership presence or life direction.
Navigating career transitions, leadership growth or increased responsibility

THERAPY REIMBURSEMENT FAQs
-
Many of my clients choose to work with me on a self-pay basis. I am currently in-network with Aetna and can provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement depending on your insurance plan.
Clients with out-of-network benefits can receive reimbursement for a portion of sessions once they submit a Superbill. This exact amount varies by plan, deductible status, and benefits. We can discuss this in your free phone consultation so you have a clear picture before committing.
-
A superbill is an itemized statement from your therapist provides after a session, detailing services and costs. It includes the necessary information for you to submit a claim to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
-
Patient Information- Name, date of birth, contact details, insurance info.
Provider information- Therapist’s name, practice address, contact details, and necessary provider ID numbers.
Date(s) of Service- The specific date(s) of the appointment(s).
CPT (Procedure) Codes- Standardized codes for the services provided.
Diagnosis Code (ICD-10)- Medical diagnosis justifying the service.
Place of Service (POS) Code- Specifies location of session; Telehealth
Units-Quantity of each service provided (e.g. 1 Therapy session = 1 Unit)
Session Fee- Cost per service and total amount paid.
-
Verify Your Out-of-Network Benefits: Before submitting a claim, call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card.
Confirm details such as whether your plan reimburses for CPT code 90834 (or other relevant codes).
Your out-of-network deductible and how much has been met.
The maximum allowed amount and the percentage covered after meeting your deductible.
Ask about their submission process, required forms, and any additional documentation.
Obtain a Superbill from Your Therapist: Check all details on the Superbill are correct, including service dates, descriptions, codes, and costs.
Submit the Superbill: Most insurance companies allow you to submit your claim in several ways: online submission via login to your insurance provider’s online portal. Some plans may require a claim form along with the Superbill.
Some insurance companies accept claims via email or fax. Check your provider’s website or call customer service for the email address or fax number, then attach your Superbill and completed claim form.
Keep a Copy: Save your Superbill, claim form (if needed), and any related documents.
Track Your Claims Status & Follow Up: Log into your insurance portal or call customer service to check your claim status. If you don’t hear back within the expected timeframe, call your insurance provider to check on your claim.
-
“Does my plan cover out-of-network mental health services, including outpatient psychotherapy and telehealth?”
“Do I have an out-of-network deductible? If so, how much remains before my plan begins reimbursing me?
“What is the maximum reimbursement amount for a mental health service code 90834 with a Psychotherapist?
You may also ask “What is the maximum allowed amount for mental health service code 90834 with a psychotherapist, and what percentage of this amount is covered by my plan?”
-
That’s okay! Self-pay clients often choose this route for privacy, flexibility, and care that aligns with their personal and professional goals.

Good Faith Estimates for Self-Pay Individuals:
You are generally considered a self-pay individual, if you do not have health insurance, or do not plan to use your insurance to pay for a medical service. If you are a self-pay or uninsured individual, a provider must give you a “good faith estimate” detailing what you may be charged before you receive the service. Our notice on Good Faith Estimate can be reviewed here.
