Hello

I’m Mary

I warmly welcome you to PsychBoss! This nurturing space is specially designed for PMHNP students and newly graduated PMHNPs seeking resources and mentorship as you step into your role as a new PMHNP or into your own practice. As a certified Family Nurse Practitioner and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 12 years of experience, I have had the privilege of mentoring and precepting dozens of PMHNP students. From working in outpatient settings to opening three outpatient psychiatric practices, I’ve experienced it all! Beyond my credentials, I am a passionate mental health advocate, and I thrive on breaking down the stigmas associated with mental health. My goal is to empower new providers to confidently embrace their new roles.

I founded the Psychboss Mentorship platform with the following objectives in mind:

Provide PMHNPs with a sense of community & mentorship, which is often lacking in their initial workplace
To share my love for teaching and witness the growth of confidence in each student I work with
To help PMHNPS who want to open up their own practice without having to reinvent the wheel
To help heal the wider mental health crisis by equipping people in our field

Looking back, I wish I had access to a mentor and resources like this when I first began my clinical practice. It brings me immense joy to be able to offer this support to others like you!

Testimonials

Krista Pembroke
PMHNP-BC

“The knowledge and clinical confidence I gained from working under Mary was priceless.”

“I had the pleasure of working alongside Mary Crutchfield for my PMHNP clinical preceptorship. The knowledge and clinical confidence I gained from working under Mary was PRICELESS. Her expertise in medication management, business, and clinical care are advanced-which is why she is one of the top mental health providers in our area. Having a mentor like Mary taught me way more than textbook material- it exposed me to the most up-to-date ways to approach conditions for optimal patient results and experience. I learned so much through Mary that would have taken me years to learn without her guidance. She is compassionate and supportive not only to her patients, but her employees and students as well. She was always available to answer questions I had and provided detailed explanations and background knowledge to support her answers. I would not be where I am now without my mentorship with Mary, and for that I will be forever grateful! “

Teashia Roeske
DNP, PMHNP

“Mary helped me navigate my first job as an NP and was working side-by-side with me as my mentor.”

“She was always available and happy for a call and a consult when I needed one and was a reliable friend at the end of it all. I’m opening my own practice and she has been with me during the initial phases when it’s easy to get lost in the details. She is a great clinician to have on your team.”

"Towards the end of my last semester of NP school, I was completely lost on what to do next. There wasn’t a class on how to navigate licensing, prescriptive authority, DEA licensure, insurance paneling, opt out agreements, liability insurance requirements, or what to ask for when signing a contract for a position. Thankfully, I had Mary as a mentor to guide me through these steps. She made this seemingly daunting process a breeze. As a new NP, I felt like an imposter. Mary helped make it clear to me that there was so much I didn’t know. Her expertise with medications and ability to explain the mechanism of action gave me the confidence to provide patients the individualized and thoughtful treatment plan they deserved. It was so comforting to have someone I could talk to over a difficult case, or help guide me through what to do when I received that first critical lab result back. I feel so incredibly fortunate that I had that extra guidance from Mary as a new grad."

Laura LaMonica, PMHNP-BC

"Mary's advice and guidance on opening my therapeutic private practice was exceptional. I have been open for four years now and know I could not have done it without her!

Susan Masterson, LCSW

“I am so grateful for Mary Crutchfield’s guidance and support when I was searching for direction as an LCSW in a group practice. When I was ready to leave that practice, Mary encouraged me to go on my own and run my own clinical practice. With her support, I opened up my own business in January of 2018 and it has been successful ever since. Mary continues to be a great support and has always been available if I need continued guidance.”
