Professional statement

Dr. Stephanie Manning is a licensed psychologist in New York and New Jersey with over 10 years of experience who works primarily with high-achieving professionals navigating anxiety, burnout, work-related stress, imposter syndrome, and major life or career transitions.

Many of her clients are outwardly successful and capable, yet feel internally strained -- managing high expectations, decision fatigue, or a sense of disconnection despite, "doing everything right." They are often thoughtful, driven, and self-aware, but find themselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I frequently work with professionals in demanding fields such as finance, healthcare, and leadership roles.

Dr. Manning's approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and depth-oriented. She integrates evidence-based strategies with insight--focused work to help clients understand patterns, regulate stress more effectively, and make intentional changes that align with their values and goals. Sessions balance reflection with practical application, offering a structured yet nuanced space for meaningful growth.

All services are provided via a secure HIPAA telehealth platform, allowing for flexibility and convenience at your office or home for continuity of care.


Message to clients

Many of the clients I work with are high-achieving professionals who appear successful on the outside, but are navigating anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, or major life transitions behind the scenes. You may be questioning your next steps, feeling pressure to "hold it together." You may be navigating career decisions, leadership stress, perfectionism, or imposter syndrome. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect and gain clarity. I frequently work with professionals in demanding fields such as finance, healthcare, and leadership roles.

My hope is that our work together helps you better understand patterns the keep you feeling stuck, strengthen emotional resilience, move forward with greater confidence and alignment. I aim to create a thoughtful, collaborative space that supports both insight and meaningful change. My approach is collaborative and individualized. I integrate different therapeutic perspectives and adjust the focus of our work based on what feels most relevant for you.

Sessions are structured yet reflective, offering space for exploration while remaining grounded in practical application. Clients often choose to work with me because they value privacy, professionalism, and a therapeutic relationship that is engaged, thoughtful, and responsive to their individual circumstances.

If you're looking for therapy that offers space for reflection, understanding, and thoughtful support, I invite you reach out for a brief phone consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit.

Therapist's note

Did you know your insurance might help cover the cost of therapy, even if I'm not in-network? Many plans offer out-of-network benefits, which means you could get reimbursed for a portion of each session. I'm happy to provide a Superbill upon request so you can submit it directly to your insurance company.

Many clients choose to self-pay in order to receive more personalized, flexible, and confidential care. Working outside of insurance allows us to focus on your goals without restrictions related to diagnosis, session frequency or length of treatment.

If you have questions about fees or would like to explore whether self-pay therapy is a good fit for your needs, we can discuss this during your phone consultation.
