You can’t change what you aren’t aware of, and it’s hard to notice what’s keeping you stuck when you’re in the middle of it. Maybe it’s anxiety that doesn’t let up, the weight of a relationship ending, conflict in your family, or patterns you don’t fully understand but keep repeating that can leave you drained and unsure of what comes next. Together, we’ll make sense of these struggles and create a path toward healing and clarity.  I use approaches that help you notice patterns, understand how your experiences and relationships shape the present, and separate yourself from unhelpful stories. We’ll build coping skills and practice new ways of responding. I draw on research and evidence-based practices while keeping the work centered on what matters most to you. Sometimes you sense that something needs to shift, but the way forward isn’t clear. Reaching out can be the first step in making that change feel possible. You don’t have to go through this alone, and I’d be honored to support you.

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 am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, while also specializing in LGBTQIA+ issues, polyamory, ENM, and am kink-affirming. My experience includes working in outpatient psychiatry settings, where I provide therapy and medication management. I've had the pleasure of working with diverse populations in various states, including Ohio, Colorado, New York, Kansas, and West Virginia. Currently, I am the owner and sole provider of Sana Mente Behavioral Health LLC, an outpatient tele-health psychiatry practice.

With being a psychiatric professional since 2018 as a bedside nurse and Prescriber, I bring both clinical expertise and a focus on systemic improvement to my practice.

Treatment philosophy: Sana Mente Behavioral Health LLC provides inclusive, kink-affirming, and trauma-informed outpatient psychiatry, emphasizing holistic care that integrates therapy with medication support. The practice prioritizes individualized treatment plans that respect cultural, sexual, and identity diversity, with a focus on addressing underlying trauma rather than solely managing symptoms. Therapy is the cornerstone of treatment, while medication is used thoughtfully and minimally.

ADHD is my specialty!  I've been an ADHD coach for over a decade and I'm a licensed master social worker and addiction counselor.  I love helping adults discover ways of calming the chaos in their homes.  More often than not, we find that they've had ADHD this entire time and no one recognized it....until now.  Looking forward to meeting you!
