Creative Clinical Education for Healing Professionals

Beyond the Textbook. Back to the Human Experience.

PsychBoss brings experienced practitioners and creative educators together to share real-world clinical wisdom, experiential learning, and innovative approaches to working with clients.

Here, education goes beyond simply hearing about an intervention. We believe in experiencing new approaches, learning how they work, and exploring meaningful ways to bring them into clinical practice.

    About Mary

    Meet Mary Crutchfield

    Mary Crutchfield, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C

    Founder of PsychBoss and Leva Psychiatry

    Founder of Ignite Your Spark: Holistic Healing and CreativeRx Hub

    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.

    What Clinicians Are Saying

    Amanda Nixon

    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.

    Read the full testimonial

    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.

    Deanna Herbol

    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.

    Read the full testimonial

    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.

    Liz Burkholder
    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.
