Teresa Manns, LMFT
Licensed in: California
My desire to become a mental health clinician comes from a deep passion for connecting with people and supporting them on their journeys toward healing and positivity. I want to empower individuals by nurturing their resilience and encouraging self-care, helping them adopt a holistic approach to their well-being. Ultimately, my goal is to help others embrace life more fully as they face challenges and grow personally.
About Me
As a mental health clinician, I see my work as a source of inspiration for those I help. My empathy and compassion create a safe space where clients feel comfortable sharing their feelings. I strive to be resilient, adapting to challenges while always prioritizing my clients’ well-being. I’m dedicated to lifelong learning, continuously enhancing my knowledge of new therapies to better support those I serve. I advocate for mental health awareness and work to reduce stigma, creating a more supportive environment for everyone. My approach is holistic, recognizing the connections between mind and body and taking into account emotional, physical, and social aspects of well-being. I respect the diverse backgrounds of my clients, allowing me to provide personalized care that truly meets their needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?
Absolutely, all our providers offer telehealth visits so that you can get care from the comfort of your own home.
Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
