Hello, I’m Dr. Francesca Derius, a psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to helping individuals achieve emotional balance and clarity. I offer personalized, supportive care grounded in clinical excellence, empathy, and respect for your unique journey.

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.

Hi! I’m Emilee Crowder, a relational, trauma-informed therapist providing online therapy for women in Texas, Arizona, Alaska, Utah & Washington. I work especially well with women navigating people-pleasing, anxiety, attachment wounds, relational trauma & religious trauma. You might find yourself overthinking interactions, worrying that someone is upset with you, struggling to know what you actually want, feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, or noticing the same relationship patterns showing up again & again. My approach to therapy is collaborative, curious & very human. Rather than simply trying to get rid of uncomfortable emotions, we’ll get curious about what they’re telling us, explore where your patterns came from & understand what they may have helped you survive, protect or maintain in the past. From there, we can work toward more self-trust, stronger boundaries & relationships where you don’t have to abandon yourself to stay connected. I’m trained in EMDR through an EMDRIA-approved program & may integrate EMDR when it could help us work with experiences, memories, beliefs or emotional responses that continue to feel stuck. I also bring lived experience to my work with religious trauma & faith transitions. I grew up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, served a mission, attended BYU & later left the church. I understand how deeply religion can become intertwined with identity, relationships, belonging & self-trust. You don’t need to show up to therapy knowing exactly what to talk about or how to “do therapy” correctly. We’ll figure it out together.

I focus on helping people with chronic pain and chronic illness to regain control over their lives. Chronic pain and illness can take a major toll on the whole person- mood, relationships, work, sleep- the list goes on and on. When it starts to feel like pain or illness are impacting all parts of your life, it can lead to depression, sadness, worry, and loneliness; talking with a therapist who understands both the emotional and physical parts can help. In addition to my work with chronic pain and chronic illness, I also work with people going through the process of cancer treatment and recovery, as well as people with insomnia. I am a Board Certified Clinical Health Psychologist with years of experience helping those with medical conditions AND I myself live with a a chronic illness. My personal connection to this work is what makes me passionate about helping others dealing with pain and illness to live a full, meaningful life even with physical challenges.
