Hello

I’m Mary

Mary Crutchfield, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C has always practiced on her own terms. Since entering psychiatric practice in 2011 and earning her PMHNP in 2016, she has opened multiple practices, consulted with PMHNPs and LCSWs across the region, and built a cash-based psychiatric practice rooted in high-touch care, deep healing work, and an expanded vision of what psychiatry can look like.

In 2017, she launched Leva Psychiatry, one of the first cash-pay psychiatric practices in Virginia Beach. What began as a deliberate move away from insurance-based care has grown into a well-respected, thriving practice offering groups, retreats, and healing modalities that go well beyond medication management. Along the way she has earned repeated Best of Coastal VA Psychiatric Practice awards, Community Impact recognition, and a reputation as the person other clinicians call when they are ready to grow something of their own.

Mary doesn’t just treat patients. She builds brands, consults, and creates. Through PsychBoss, she brings everything she has learned into courses and immersive experiences designed for the clinician who is ready to practice with more creativity, freedom, and intention.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

Testimonials

“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! “

“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."

"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.”

Tracie Hunter, LCSW

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the courses designed for?

The PsychBoss courses are designed primarily for PMHNPs, though the content is equally relevant for therapy-forward clinicians exploring cash-pay practice ownership. Whether you are looking to expand what you already have, break through the fear of leaving the traditional model, or build something entirely new — these courses were made for the clinician who is ready to practice differently. 

Do I need to be in cash-based practice already to take Course 2?

Not at all. Course 2 meets you where you are and walks you through everything you need to build and structure a cash-based practice from the ground up.

What is the 1:1 Immersion?

The 1:1 Immersion is a fully private, hands-on experience that includes lodging and dedicated time working together in the office. Every aspect is tailored specifically to your practice, your vision, and your goals. It is the most personalized and high-touch experience PsychBoss offers.

When do the courses launch?

Both courses launch Fall 2026 and are open for pre-registration now. Pre-registrants will be the first to receive launch details and early access information.
