How do you work with clients with anxiety?

I work with individuals who may have felt discouraged or unsuccessful in therapy before and are looking for a different kind of therapeutic experience. My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative, while also offering gentle challenge when old patterns are no longer serving you. I support clients navigating complex trauma, single-event trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication challenges, and struggles with self-worth. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful healing, and I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply understood, respected, and supported as they explore difficult experiences and build new ways of relating to themselves and others. My work is trauma-informed and integrates somatic approaches, parts work, and Brainspotting to help clients process experiences not only cognitively, but also through the body and nervous system. I also have years of experience and training in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, which can offer a powerful, experiential path for clients seeking deeper emotional awareness, connection, and healing.Psychotherapy.

I’m Nycole A. Cox, a Nurse Practitioner, who works with professionals who look successful on the outside but feel completely depleted on the inside. If you’re carrying constant responsibility, making high-stakes decisions, and pushing through exhaustion because “that’s just part of the job,” you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. My path into psychiatric care became personal after experiencing burnout myself in high-pressure healthcare environments. I know what it’s like to function at a high level while feeling mentally drained, emotionally detached, and physically exhausted—no matter how much sleep you get. That experience reshaped how I care for patients and who I care for. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Kent State University and my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Cincinnati. I bring 12 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and 7 years as a Nurse Practitioner.

I believe therapy is an adventure of self-discovery—an opportunity to explore your story and uncover your strengths. My approach is collaborative and adaptive, drawing from CBT, ACT, DBT, SFBT, and Person-Centered Therapy, as well as Geek Therapy and the Hero’s Journey framework when it fits your interests. Whether you connect through fandoms like anime, video games, or tabletop RPGs, or prefer a more traditional approach, I meet you where you are. Together, we’ll navigate your challenges, build insight, and move toward a renewed sense of balance and purpose. Every hero’s journey is unique. I look forward to walking beside you as we navigate yours together.

Life can feel overwhelming—waves of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or old wounds rising without warning. Through gentle, somatic, trauma-informed therapy, I help you tune into your body, regulate emotions, and build a sense of safety so stored stress can begin to release. At Deep Water Emotional Health, you’ll find a grounded, compassionate space for clarity, healing, and reconnection—supported by over 15 years of experience working with emotional trauma. Sessions are 55 minutes, offered virtually, in person, and in nature. I grew up in a religious community where love was mixed with fear and control. In my late 20s, unresolved trauma led to panic attacks. My own healing led me to Internal Family Systems (IFS), where I now practice as a Level 2 practitioner. You can hear more of my story on the Holistic Health podcast (Ep. 46). IFS offers a path back to your authentic Self, the calm, compassionate core within you. From there, healing begins. Your first 55-minute session is free.

I am a dual-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and certified nurse-midwife with a specialized focus on women’s mental health. My clinical background allows me to understand the connection between emotional wellbeing, physical health, hormonal changes, and the many life transitions that can affect mental health. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, stress, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and menopause-related mental health symptoms. With additional certificates in perinatal mental health and menopause mental health, I bring a thoughtful and informed approach to care during some of the most important and sensitive stages of life. My experience as a nurse-midwife has shaped the way I support patients. I am especially attuned to the natural cycles, transitions, and changes that can impact how we feel emotionally and physically. I strive to create a supportive, respectful space where patients feel heard, validated, and empowered. My goal is to work collaboratively with each patient to better understand what they are experiencing, identify the support they need, and help them move toward feeling more balanced, confident, and well.

I am an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. I am currently only taking new MFT supervision clients.

My work is depth-oriented, relational, and mind-body centered. That means we don’t just focus on managing symptoms — we listen for what your struggles are trying to say. I draw from Jungian and psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment theory, somatic awareness, and dreamwork. Together, we pay attention to patterns, emotions, relationships, and the symbolic language of the psyche. Therapy becomes a place where insight, emotional experience, and embodied awareness come together. I see therapy as a collaborative process. The relationship itself matters, and change often happens through genuine understanding and meeting — sometimes for the first time. I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in private practice. I'm currently in training with JPA in New York for archetypal psychoanalytic psychotherapy and have trained in EMDR, IFS, RLT, CBT, Hakomi, and more. I offer individual and group psychotherapy, and working with adults across a wide range of life concerns.
