"You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you’ll win, no matter what the outcome."- Patch Adams Hi, I’m Frances Murphy, a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C). I provide telehealth services to teens (13+), adults, and older adults across Florida, Oregon, and Washington, making compassionate, high-quality mental health care accessible—right from the comfort of home. If you’ve been feeling anxious, unmotivated, scattered, or simply not yourself, you’re not alone. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, addiction recovery, and trauma. My goal is to treat you—not just your diagnosis—by combining medication management with brief supportive psychotherapy in a collaborative, holistic way that addresses your mind, body, and environment.

First session
Your first appointment is a chance for us to get to know each other and understand what’s bringing you to care. We’ll review your history, current challenges, and goals, then begin creating a personalized treatment plan that feels realistic and empowering. You can expect a supportive, judgment-free space where you’ll be heard and leave with a clear sense of next steps.
Strengths
My style is warm, empathetic, and down-to-earth, balanced with structure and evidence-based care. I value clear communication and will always take the time to explain your treatment options so you feel informed and in control. I believe healing happens through understanding and collaboration—together, we’ll work to restore balance and help you feel grounded, focused, and hopeful again.
Ideal clients
I work best with clients who are ready to take an active role in their wellness—whether they’re navigating anxiety, struggling to focus, managing mood swings, or rebuilding after trauma or addiction. If you’re looking for a provider who listens, meets you where you are, and tailors treatment to your unique needs, I would be honored to work with you.
Treatment methods
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
In my sessions, I help patients identify clear, attainable goals by building on their existing strengths and past successes. I use targeted, future-oriented questions (such as scaling and miracle questions) to clarify what improvement would look like and to highlight moments when symptoms are less intense or more manageable. Rather than focusing primarily on pathology, I emphasize practical strategies, small behavioral changes, and reinforcement of adaptive coping skills. This approach promotes empowerment, enhances self-efficacy, and supports measurable progress within a structured, time-efficient framework.
