My healthcare career started in 2012 working in addiction medicine which I quickly grew to love. This morphed into psychiatry which I now practice (and also love) full time. I enjoy working with all shapes and sizes of people aged 14 and older including (and especially) the LGBTQ+ population. I have an additional certification in perinatal care and love working with pre-moms, moms-to-be and post-moms! My other special interest is the treatment of OCD. I see many, many patients struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders like bipolar and everything in between (ADHD included). In general, I am a solution-focused provider. This means I am a bitand to the point. Lets find the problem and fix it. I am also a bit on the med conservative side. Lets get you living your best life on the least amount of medications- this can be 0, this can be 5. Everyone is unique in their own way.

Procrastinating on work or running on autopilot? Struggling to stay focused, get quality sleep, or keep your routines on track? Maybe you’re feeling drained, frustrated by nutrition, exercise habits, or hormonal shifts, or just not like yourself lately. You’re not alone. I help people stop wasting their energy on things that drain them and start investing it where it counts. I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and work with adults ages 19 to 45. My focus is on comprehensive medication management for ADHD, Depression, Insomnia, PMDD, PTSD, and weight management. I treat the whole person, not just their symptoms. This includes looking closely at sleep habits, screen time, food choices, weightlifting, communication, mindset, and daily routines to support lasting change. My focus is on making sure you’re strong in every area, not just surviving. With 10 years of experience as a travel nurse, including 6 in psychiatry, I bring a strong clinical foundation to my current role as a nurse practitioner. Over the years, one thing has become clear to me: at the core, we are all more alike than different. Most people want peace, autonomy, and real enjoyment in their lives. My philosophy is a lot like sports. In baseball, maybe you can catch, run, and hit line drives, but if you can’t throw the ball, you’ll never reach your full potential. Mental health works the same way. Medication, sleep, movement, and daily habits all work together. That’s how real change happens

I have a passion for supporting individuals by encouraging changes, healing, and empowerment. I have had the fantastic opportunity to practice as a mental health therapist and share my expertise by delivering educational services in Palm Beach County for over six years. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from South University, and I currently hold a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I am currently completing an EdD with an emphasis in Behavioral Health at Grand Canyon University. I have experience working with children and families, adolescents, adults, couples, and groups. My approaches to therapy are client-centered, solution-focused, humanistic, and strengths-based. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, domestic violence, promoting maternal mental health during pregnancy, cultural bias, racial equity, child abuse and neglect, Motivational Interviewing, Brazelton Touchpoints, Infant Mental Health Levels 1 & 2, Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR trained therapist), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and I am dialectical behavior therapy informed.  I have experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, and co-occurring disorders. I have also worked with clients dealing with single parenthood, partner relational conflict, childhood and generational trauma, grief, and loss issues. I specialize in child-parent/family issues and domestic abuse (intimate partner violence).  I believe that it is essential to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. As a nation, we must work towards reducing the stigma around mental health and mental illness so that we can begin to break generational trauma.

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

I am a physician assistant with a background in endocrinology and psychiatry, specializing in the intersection of mental health and metabolic health. My clinical focus is on understanding how hormones, sleep, and metabolic imbalances contribute to conditions like depression, anxiety, fatigue, and brain fog. At MetaBridge Health & Wellness in Atlanta, I provide integrative and metabolic psychiatric care with an emphasis on hormone optimization, circadian health for shift workers, and personalized treatment plans guided by advanced lab testing. My approach is evidence-based and patient-centered, designed for individuals who are functioning but still struggling with energy, mood, or focus. I believe in going beyond symptom management to address the root causes of health challenges, creating lasting solutions that support both mind and body.

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 provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults across Texas coping with the emotional aftermath of cancer, chronic illness, ICU stays, surgeries, and other life-threatening medical experiences. Many people feel blindsided by symptoms like fear of recurrence, scan-related anxiety, hypervigilance, grief, anger, or feeling misunderstood. This is medical trauma—and it is real. I offer trauma-informed assessment, diagnosis, and medication management in unhurried, collaborative sessions grounded in shared decision-making. As both a clinician and a two-time breast cancer survivor, I understand how medical trauma impacts identity, relationships, and daily life. My goal is to provide a space where you feel believed, supported, and equipped with evidence-based care and genuine understanding.
