He took the time to clearly explain my diagnosis and how each medication would affect me, ensuring I felt informed and comfortable with my treatment plan. His bedside manner was attentive and centered entirely on my needs. Whenever concerns came up, he was easily accessible and addressed them promptly. The nursing staff communicated with him quickly and efficiently, which made the entire process smooth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical process when working with me includes: Initial Evaluation: A comprehensive psychiatric and medical assessment Review of mental health history, substance use history, medical conditions, and current medications Discussion of symptoms, stressors, lifestyle factors, and personal treatment goals Diagnostic clarification using evidence-based criteria Development of an individualized treatment plan Treatment Planning: Clear explanation of diagnosis and available treatment options Discussion of medication choices, benefits, risks, and alternatives Shared decision-making to determine the best approach for you For substance use disorders: evaluation for medication treatment such as Suboxone (buprenorphine), naltrexone, or Vivitrol, along with harm-reduction planning Ongoing Sessions: Medication management and symptom monitoring Supportive, solution-focused therapeutic interventions Relapse prevention strategies (when applicable) Adjustment of medications based on response and side effects Coordination of care with therapists or other providers when needed While my primary focus is psychiatric evaluation and medication management, I incorporate brief therapeutic techniques, psychoeducation, and coping strategies into each session.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $275 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 30 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

Patients are encouraged to verify coverage directly with their insurance provider prior to their appointment to understand deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and authorization requirements.

I had a great experience with Selman. He was awesome, spent a lot of time with me and made sure I felt comfortable with my treatment plan. He was engaged in my care and I’m super confident I’m in good hands.
Dr. Manuel had shown sincere care of his patients and demonstrated professionalism and deep knowledge and understanding in his field of practice. We really enjoyed working with Dr. Manuel and are grateful for the help he provided when we were in need of it. Highly recommend Dr. Manuel if you want to find a professional that truly cares and can guide you safely towards a stable and better mental health.
I arrived for my initial session extremely nervous, after a few minutes I forgot that I’d walked in with anxiety. Dr. Selman was able to help me understand things about myself that I had been asking for most of my life.
You don't need to look any further for exceptional care. Dr. Selman Manuel is a dedicated provider who listens deeply, respects his patients, and always follows the highest clinical standards. I highly recommend him—you will be in great hands. Sincerely, Thales Lopes
He Actually Cares!!! Dr. Manuel has never made my wife or me feel rushed during our visits. As family practice patients, we truly appreciate how he takes his time and gives us his full attention. He remembers details from previous appointments and always follows up on past concerns, which makes us feel valued and genuinely cared for. He listens carefully, explains all available options clearly, and works collaboratively with us to choose what best fits our needs and goals. What stands out most is that he looks at the whole picture of our health—not just the immediate issue. He doesn’t simply write a prescription and move on. Instead, he is thorough in his exams and evaluations to ensure we are receiving the best possible care. On top of that, he’s kind, approachable, and easy to talk to. Scheduling is smooth, wait times are reasonable, the staff is friendly, and we completely trust his decisions. We highly recommend him!
Best Doctor I’ve Ever Had Dr. Manuel has been my primary care provider for the past 1.5 years. I first met him at Renton Primary Care, and although the clinic unfortunately closed due to financial difficulties, my experience with him has remained extremely positive. From day one, he has shown genuine care, professionalism, and respect. I always feel heard during my appointments, and he takes the time to thoroughly explain my conditions and answer every question I have without making me feel rushed. Before seeing Dr. Manuel, I had only visited MDs and DOs. Learning that he holds a Doctorate in Nursing Practice completely changed my perspective on nurse practitioners. His depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and compassionate approach truly stand out. Appointment scheduling was smooth, wait times were reasonable, and the staff was always friendly and welcoming. Most importantly, I trust his decisions and feel confident in the care I receive. Thank you, Dr. Manuel.
Dr. Manuel save my life. I tried to get clean so many times That didn’t work for me I kept relapsing. I tried to get clean on my own tried out a couple detox places then I went to a new inpatient because I needed to get out of the drugs hold on me. He was my doc and he looked at me more then anther low life addict or dollar sign. He listened to me and explained all that was gonna happen and was with me each step. If I had questions he would answer with out being all judgy like most docs are. He was one of the biggest cheerleaders for recovery. And yes we do recover I couldn’t have done it without him.
Exactly what I expected—very professional. I want to thank Dr. Manuel; since my visit, I have seen significant changes. 100% recommended. The staff is very friendly.

You can tell Dr Manuel has the heart to help. He is professional and really listens to you. I feel like I have someone on my side! I will be continuing my care with Dr Manuel! Thank you for everything you do!
This experience truly deserves 10 stars. From my first appointment, I felt completely at ease. He is genuine, compassionate, and refreshingly nonjudgmental. It’s rare to find a provider who not only listens but truly hears you, and that’s exactly how I felt throughout my visit. He takes time to clearly explain what’s happening with your body in a thoughtful, easy-to-understand way. I never felt rushed or dismissed—only informed and empowered. What stood out most was his empathy. Even when discussing new and scary health concerns, he was reassuring and kind, never making me feel embarrassed or overwhelmed. I walked in anxious about my diagnosis and left feeling hopeful and confident. He truly feels invested in my well-being and committed to supporting me every step of the way. I’m grateful to have found a provider who combines expertise with genuine compassion. Highly recommend.
