Vania Manipod, DO
Adult Psychiatrist
"When I was in medical school, psychiatry stood out to me immediately, not just as a specialty, but as a way of truly understanding people. What drew me in then still drives my work today: the belief that the most important thing a psychiatrist can do is listen well, take a person's full story seriously, and work with them — not just prescribe at them."
I take a holistic approach to adult psychiatry that integrates psychotherapeutic techniques, lifestyle, and medication management when it’s indicated. I believe in treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis. My goal in every appointment is for you to leave feeling genuinely heard and with a clear sense of what we’re doing and why.
Outside the clinic, I serve as Editor-in-Chief of The DO, the leading publication for osteopathic physicians, and I’ve been featured as a medical expert in the Washington Post, Glamour, Women’s Health, and other national publications. I’m also active on Instagram @drvaniamanipod where I share honest conversations about psychiatry and mental health.
