About Mary McManus
Hello, I'm Mary McManus, a Family Nurse Practitioner with 20 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in psychiatric care, including ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and depression. I earned my BSN in 1994 from Marquette University with a minor in psychology, and later, my MSN from NIU, becoming a board-certified FNP. For the past 7 years, I have integrated genetic testing into my practice to help tailor treatments to each patient’s unique genetic makeup, enhancing outcomes and avoiding unnecessary trial and error with medications. I see patients virtually on HelloKlarity, a cash-pay platform where I provide personalized care. My passion is to support and empower my patients on their journey toward better mental health, while collaborating to create a custom treatment plan that works best for them.
Treatment philosophy:
I believe in a patient-centered approach, collaborating closely with each individual to develop a personalized treatment plan. By combining genetic insights with evidence-based medication management, I ensure that treatments are optimized for each patient’s unique biology. I prioritize empowering patients with knowledge and involving them in decisions about their care, ensuring they have the tools to manage their mental and physical health effectively.
