Christy Cox

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over 5 years of experience treating patients in the outpatient and telehealth settings. I have experience treating patients throughout the lifespan but particularly enjoy treating women who often are too busy to take time to focus on their own mental health. I am very honest and direct with my patients and enjoy empowering them to help themselves. I am open-minded and love to listen to my patients tell me their story without fear of judgement. I have background in working both in community mental health and for a large privately owned mental health organization. I fully believe in the importance in taking a collaborative approach to treating my patients.

I am specializing in treating the mental health of adolescent females and women ages 16 and up. Focused areas of treatment include maternal mental health, post-partum mental health, ADHD treatment, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, grief and trauma.

I am also focusing on treating healthcare professionals, first responders and busy individuals who often cannot get to an appointment due to their schedule requires working Monday thru Friday until 5pm. I am offering non-traditional appointment times to accommodate those needing a non-traditional appointment time. Mental health is just as important as physical health and should be treated as such.

I take a patient-centered approach while involving my patients in choosing treatment options. I encourage patients to take an active role in making healthcare and medication decisions while allowing them time to express concerns and ask questions. I am honest and direct with my patients and encourage lifestyle changes, offer education, supportive therapy while integrating medication management to help them achieve their highest potential and quality of life.

My patients can expect a safe, open-minded session to allow them to express why they wish to be treated. They can express their concerns, voice frustrations and fears regarding possible treatment without being judgement. I will assure them I am here to help them on their mental health journey look forward to building rapport and a relationship with them.
