Your practice
What do you want to offer?
There is no single right way to be a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Your training, interests, life experiences, and additional skills all have a place in your work.
Start with the needs you keep noticing in your clients. Then consider which of your skills might help you respond. PsychBoss gives you a way to work through those questions and develop something you can try in practice.

About Liz Burkholder
Liz Burkholder is an Integrative / Holistic Nurse Practitioner who is double board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).
She is an expert in inner child healing, trauma healing, emotional healing, and somatic healing. She is trained in multiple mind-body-spirit modalities including hypnotherapy, breathwork, yoga, subtle energy healing, reiki, parts work, and shadow work, among others. She created her signature method, Go Within Hypno-Breathwork, which brings these modalities together with sound, music, movement, and dance.
Liz completed a PhD in Mind Body Medicine with a specialization in Integrative Mental Health from Saybrook University in May 2024.
Liz began her own healing journey at the age of 17 during a divine intervention of being locked up in a juvenile detention center as a trauma-ridden high school dropout with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide except within herself. Liz has spent her life healing herself and becoming a healer for others.
She is passionate about sharing this work with the world with the purpose of teaching others how to heal themselves, thus making a massive dent in the healing of individual, ancestral, and collective trauma. Her motto is “Anything can be healed.” Her mission is to spread this work far and wide and to train some of the best somatic healers in the world, in order to make massive shifts in the collective trauma load.
She has been doing self-healing work for almost 30 years. This work is a culmination of her personal and professional studies, including her own experiences with trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and breast cancer. She is certain that this is some of the deepest and most transformational healing work in the world.

From clinicians
Working with Mary
Clinicians share their experiences of Mary’s consultation, supervision, and creative work.
Before our consultation, I felt drawn to expressive arts but didn’t know how to offer it safely or structure a session in an embodied, trauma informed way. Mary helped everything make sense. She showed me how expressive arts and Hypnobreathwork integrate seamlessly and walked me through the full flow of a session. I left feeling more confident, grounded, and capable of holding both group and individual experiences while allowing creativity, embodiment, and emotional expression to unfold naturally. Mary has a gift for breaking complex processes into clear and digestible steps, while also teaching the subtle details that make a session truly well held. Understanding pacing, music, sequencing, and how to read the energy of the room changed everything for me. Her guidance is intuitive, practical, and deeply grounded in experience. CreativeRx makes the work feel accessible, safe, empowering, and easy to implement.
As a licensed therapist, I came into working with Mary already trained in traditional modalities like CBT and trauma-informed practice, but I felt there was a gap between what I knew intellectually and what I could access creatively and somatically, both for myself and for my clients. Through my supervision and immersion experiences with Mary, I was introduced to an entirely new way of working: bilateral techniques, visual journaling, expressive arts, breathwork, and body-led practices that helped me reconnect with my own creative flow. What I appreciated most was the safety I felt to ask questions, to experiment, and to integrate these tools in a grounded way. Mary’s approach helped me deepen my attunement, expand my clinical creativity, and trust the wisdom of the body with my clients as well as myself! The work we did together didn’t just enhance how I show up therapeutically; it personally shifted something in me. I began listening to what I actually needed rather than what I thought I “should” feel or want.
Mary is very talented at what she does. She helps people to feel, heal, and express through art, movement, sound, Hypno-Breathwork, and more. She brings not only compassion, but also so much fun and joy to the spaces she holds. It is a delight to work with her and to be in her presence.
Psychiatry since 2011
About Mary
Meet Mary Crutchfield, PMHNP-BC
Founder of PsychBoss | Owner of Leva Psychiatry
I opened two insurance-based practices before realizing that, no matter how hard I worked, the traditional model wasn't the right fit for how I wanted to practice.
In 2017, I founded Leva Psychiatry in Virginia Beach as a therapy-forward, cash-based practice. Since then, I've continued to evolve what we offer based on client needs and the skills and passions I wanted to bring into my work.
Along the way, I've developed groups, retreats, workshops, expressive and creative interventions, UCLA PEERS programming, consultations, one-on-one trauma-healing intensives, and community events. Not every idea worked perfectly the first time, but each one taught me something about building a practice that feels both clinically meaningful and personally sustainable.
That's why I created PsychBoss.
I want to help other PMHNPs recognize the skills, experiences, and interests they may not be using in their current roles, and discover how to turn those strengths into meaningful services. That could be a therapy group, workshop, intensive, or something entirely different. The goal is to create something that fits both the clinician and the people they serve.
I've worked in psychiatry since 2011, became a PMHNP in 2016, and have led Leva Psychiatry since 2017. Through PsychBoss, I'm bringing those years of clinical experience, experimentation, and entrepreneurship together to help other clinicians expand what's possible in their work.

Who is PsychBoss for?

Do I need to own a private practice?
No. You may be adding something new to an existing role, developing a group or workshop, creating a specialty service, or exploring another way to serve clients.
What’s included?
The Founding Guided Edition includes four modules of recorded video lessons taught by Mary, a workbook, guided meditation audio, and lifetime course access. You’ll also have access to ongoing group calls every other week for 12 weeks after enrollment. Participants who complete the required course content, post-test, and course evaluation will be eligible to receive a certificate documenting 4.0 nursing CE contact hours.
How does it work?

The course guides you toward an appropriate free first test, followed by feedback and reflection. Group calls every other week, with 12 weeks of eligibility after enrollment accompany the Founding Guided Edition.
Does this course teach a new therapy modality?
The course focuses on developing and testing an offering using skills you are already qualified to provide. Clinical approaches mentioned in the lessons are examples from Mary’s work. This course does not train or certify you in those approaches. Your offering should fit your training, competence, and professional scope.
What if I’m still deciding what to create?
You can start with a question or an idea that is still taking shape. The first two modules help you consider your strengths, interests, and the needs you notice in your work before choosing one offering to develop.
Can I check the group-call schedule before enrolling?
Email Mary to ask about dates, time zone, call length, and arrangements if you cannot attend. These details can help you decide whether the guided edition fits your schedule.
