Maurice Fiedel

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Cottonwood Heights, UT


I am your partner in whole-person healing, and I am now accepting new patients. With nearly two decades of diverse nursing experience, my background spans psychiatry, oncology, palliative care, intensive care, hospice, and home health. This journey has given me a deep understanding of both physical and emotional health challenges.

I am known for building genuine connections with patients across all age groups. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental health is inseparable from physical well-being. I often view mental health symptoms not as disorders, but as signals of deeper imbalances—and I treat them with compassion and curiosity.

I am passionate about people and I love being a therapist. I get excited about getting to know new clients, learning their story, unpacking it in order to gain insight into why things have become the way they are and then using this insight to then foster healing, growth, and change. Change occurs once new ways of being are identified and barriers are removed in order to try on new ways of being.
