Getting to know Francis Maneja

Francis A. Maneja, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a strong foundation in both medical-surgical and psychiatric care. Before transitioning into advanced practice, he spent many years as a registered nurse in acute care and dialysis settings, where he developed expertise in crisis response, complex medical comorbidities, and collaborative, team-based patient care. As a PMHNP, Francis provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, DSM-5-informed diagnostic impressions, and ongoing medication management for adults in outpatient and community settings. His training includes emergency psychiatry, inpatient psychiatry, and ACT/community-based services, working with individuals experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, anxiety, and severe mental illness with co-occurring medical conditions. Colleagues and clinical educators describe him as calm under pressure, clinically astute, and highly committed to using evidence-based practice in day- to-day care. Francis is board certified as a PMHNP-BC through ANCC and holds a Master of Science in Nursing from Pace University, along with a BSN and prior nursing degrees. He also maintains certifications in ACLS, BLS, and Certified Dialysis Nurse, reflecting his experience at the intersection of mental health and complex medical care. In his clinical work, Francis believes in partnering with patients to create treatment plans that are understandable, collaborative, and grounded in both science and compassion. He spends time explaining conditions and medications in clear, accessible language, helping patients and families feel informed and engaged in shared decision-making. Patients and colleagues alike experience him as respectful, thoughtful, and dedicated to maintaining high ethical standards, including confidentiality and informed consent.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

At the initial visit, I complete a thorough psychiatric and medical-psychiatric assessment, including history, current concerns, and goals, and then review diagnostic impressions and treatment options in clear, accessible language. Follow-up visits focus on monitoring symptoms, side effects, and functioning, adjusting medications thoughtfully, and reinforcing coping strategies and education so patients feel confident in their care plan. When appropriate, I coordinate closely with therapists, primary care, nephrology and other specialists, and community supports to ensure that treatment is consistent, safe, and aligned with each patient’s broader health needs.
