Hi! I'm a dual-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, with 6 years working as an APRN with adults and children. My focus is ADHD, burnout, stress, anxiety, and depression, you know, the stuff that shows up in daily life and makes everything feel harder than it should. I handle psychiatric evaluations and medication management, and I actually enjoy the process of figuring out what works for you, not just what works in general.
I’m Erin, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Solace Mind and Wellness, PLLC. I believe mental health care should feel thoughtful, collaborative, and individualized. Mental wellness is influenced by many factors including biology, lifestyle, environment, stress, and life experiences. Treatment should reflect the whole person, not just a diagnosis. Through my tele psychiatry practice, I provide evidence-based psychiatric care for adults and adolescents across Arizona in a calm, supportive, and private setting. I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety, depression, and SMI.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I treat a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety and stress, mood disorders, trauma, depression, coping with chronic illness, military family life, and life transitions. I have 30 years of working with service members, families and support system members.
I am available to care for individuals who require non-standard and flexible appointment hours including evenings; and, with a focus on working adults/professionals, students, elderly, those with challenges due to their illness, and so forth. I am also open to taking on patients who need continuity of care after discharge from inpatient care. I am capable of providing on the spot medication management including deprescribing/tapers, addressing interactions, taking over from primary care provider for more advance regiment, etc ...
Maybe you’re the person who holds everything together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or exhausted from trying so hard to get things right. Or maybe parenting is bringing up emotions and patterns you never expected. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, relationships, and parenting. I’m an EMDR-trained therapist, and I’ll help you understand what’s happening underneath—not just manage what shows up on the surface.
At an early age most people are taught to be independent, strong, and self-sufficient. But, there are times in life when difficult situations can become overwhelming. During these difficult times in life some individuals do not realize that it is okay "Not to be Okay." Asking for help can be hard.
Hi, I'm Dr. Deborah DeFrieze, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, depression, and life's hardest transitions. If anxiety or overwhelm has been running the show lately, I'm here to help you take the reins back — with a warm, honest, and practical approach.
My path to this work has been a rich one. Alongside my social work career, I spent 33 years in public education — as a teacher in both regular and special education, an assistant principal, a principal, and an assistant professor — and I served as a missionary in Africa for 18 months. Those experiences taught me to meet people where they are, across every walk of life and stage of change. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and a doctorate in education from the University of Georgia, and I'm also a Licensed Massage Therapist, which deepens my appreciation for the mind-body connection in healing.
I draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, tailoring our work to what will help you most.
I tend to work well with people whose lives or mental health do not fit neatly into one box. Many of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, substance use, relationship stress, or family conflict, and they often understand the pattern but still feel stuck in it. If you feel overwhelmed, reactive, burned out, or frustrated that insight alone has not created change, I want therapy to be a place where you can slow down, feel understood, and start making sense of what is happening beneath the surface.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I'm committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental environment for exploring pathways to psychological and emotional healing. Specializing in Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I believe everyone is worthy of love and happiness. I encourage people to see themselves through that same lens.

Find an expert who truly understands OCD
Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Memphis
Searching for OCD therapists in Memphis starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, compulsive routines, and related anxiety. Some therapists offer specialized approaches for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists have specific training in every approach, so it can help to ask a qualified provider about their background. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or experience with intrusive thoughts and compulsions.
Memphis offers a solid range of mental health care options, and the right fit may depend on location, appointment format, and specialty training. In-person sessions may work well if you prefer an office setting near home, work, or school. Virtual appointments can expand your options if a therapist with ERP experience has limited office availability near you. When reviewing profiles, look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD. Read their bio for details on their approach, appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe working with OCD-related concerns.
Therapy in Memphis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lists therapists who are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and area. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
