I am not much of a movie-goer since I can't seem to sit through an entire film, but give me a good series any day. I just finished Workin' Moms (let's not even talk about THAT cliffhanger of Season 6). Coming from the basic 'bee' side of me, I will happily watch any cooking challenge series or home design show. The Great British Baking Show!! Jolly good. Favorite superhero? Right now- Bernie Sanders and AOC If you could have a superpower, what superpower would you pick? Okay, so I have given this a lot of thought. The first one would be to be able to apparate (HP fan?? Anyone?) so I could bypass having to go to the airport. Second would be the ability to always have exact change in my pocket for any purchase that I made. Favorite bands/singer? The Rocket Summer and Jack's Mannequin. I'm also a Swiftie. If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for? 1. A government that actually gave a flying fuck about their country and the people that live in it. 2. A really good brand new commercial espresso machine in my house. 3. World Peace (*Name that movie*) What is your favorite food? I love food. Sushi, enchiladas, falafel. Let's talk Crumbl Cookies and curry dishes, please. Samples at Costco for lunch, don't mind if I do. Oh and coffee (in case you haven't caught that yet)-- iced lattes and cold brew!! If you know of a cute coffee shop or bakery that I need to try -- please tell me. What are you most passionate about in the mental health field? When it comes to mental health, I truly think that getting to know who you are as a whole person is one of the most important things that can happen. You are a person who has endured magical, painful, exciting, and hard things. You are more than just symptoms, and answers don't always just lie in prescriptions to cover up these symptoms. Mental health is a whole-body experience and a journey not merely a destination. What are some experiences you have had that make you unique? unique? My husband and I went through the IVF process to start our family so I understand the intense and heart- wrenching experience that this is. It pushes you emotionally and physically in ways that I never imagined with no guarantees in the end. It's like being a part of a community you never asked to be a part of but you meet some pretty amazing people nonetheless. What is your philosophy on using medication to treat mental health? Are medications lifelong? Does a patient who sees you HAVE to be on medication? I think using medication to help with treatment is just a piece of an overall picture. Medications are definitely not meant to be lifelong. My philosophy is to provide you with all the best information I can to allow you to make an informed and comfortable choice for yourself whether that is incorporating medication into your treatment or not. If a patient is nervous about an evaluation, especially when talking about tough things like trauma or sexual abuse, what would you want them to know? Talking about tough things, especially trauma can be so difficult, especially when you're just meeting with a new person for the first time. Trauma can be messy and confusing and can be hard to make sense of. When it comes to any part of our conversations, you control what you are ready and willing to share. I am here to listen in a comforting, validating, and non-judgemental way. Do you have any personal experiences regarding mental health you are open to sharing? sharing? After I had my first baby I was very confused and scared by high anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Even being in the field for so many years I had never even heard of postpartum OCD. Now every new parent I run into I'm like "How are you REALLY doing?" and it has made me very eager to support other parents! You've mentioned being passionate about working with the Health at Every Size (HAES) population, can you tell us more about that? I live my life in a larger body. I have experienced discrimination because of my size when seeking medical care and have made a commitment as a provider to provide a weight-neutral approach to treatment. I fully recognize how diet culture is smashed into our faces virtually every day since the day we were born and how that can affect self-esteem. This can affect how we think we deserve to be treated because of our weight. We should not be afraid to go to providers because we fear they will judge or blame us or treat us less because of our size. I am a big advocate of Intuitive Eating principles and healthy, fulfilling body movement.

Meet Andres, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner at Paperflower Psychiatry. Andy offers holistic, compassionate care and specializes in religious and cultural trauma. Accepting new virtual patients in Arizona. Andres Kohler, MSN, PMHNPBC Hi! My name is Andres, but you can call me Andy if you’d like. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a wealth of experience across various settings, including inpatient hospitals, addiction medicine, child and adolescent psychiatry, adult psychiatry, crisis units, and geriatric psychiatry. My deepest passions lie in addressing religious and cultural trauma, advocating for LGBTQ+ issues, and supporting individuals with complex conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. I chose to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner out of frustration with the lack of inclusive, compassionate care often provided by healthcare professionals. Life has taken me on an exciting journey—from my roots in California to Massachusetts, Maine, and now possibly setting my sights on Arizona! I’m also fluent in both English and Spanish. When I’m not working, I love unwinding with a good book, playing with my three dogs, and relaxing in my hot tub. I’m also a huge fan of lavender and tea—small comforts that keep me grounded. Above all, I’m dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space for my clients, where they can feel seen, heard, and supported in their mental health journey. LGTBQIA+ Mental Health As a member of the LGBTQ community, Andy is passionate about providing quality care -- especially at this time in history. Religious Trauma Andy understands the severity of how religious trauma can cause guilt, depression and other symptoms over the lifespan. Read more in his Q&A. Bipolar Disorder Andy has a strong ability to evaluate for and treat bipolar disorder -- even the cases where it feels like you've tried everything and it's just not working. Q&A What is your favorite music: My taste in music is all over the place. I love folk/alternative rock, R&B, blues, jazz, country, EDM, reggae, and even cumbias/reggaeton. Some of my favorite artists are Alicia Keys, Maná, Fleetwood Mac, Local Natives, The 1975, Goth Babe, and The Weeknd. Basically, I’ve got a playlist for every mood. Favorite superhero? That’s easy—my mom! She’s the most loving, supportive, and selfless person I know. She immigrated from Mexico in her early 20s, not knowing English, with just a few coins in her pocket and a sweater on her back. Despite all the challenges she faced, including severe respiratory issues and anxiety/depression, she always made sure my brother and I had a home-cooked meal on the table and felt so loved. She taught me to never judge a book by its cover and to always share a smile. I’m beyond proud to be her son and would choose her as my mom in every lifetime. But, okay, I’ll admit—Superman is pretty cool too! If you could have a superpower, what superpower would you pick? Telekinesis, hands down! I mean, think about it—you could lift yourself and others to fly anywhere. No more chores either; you could clean the house just by thinking about it! Plus, you could control the elements if you really wanted to go all-out. It’s the ultimate power. Tell us about your pets: Of course! I have three amazing dogs: • Molly: She’s a 7.5-year-old white Labrador Retriever and the sweetest, most gentle soul you’ll ever meet. Molly is always wagging her tail with a toy in her mouth and is perpetually hungry. She originally belonged to my husband, but after seven years, she’s 100% my dog too. Her nicknames are Mammas and Moo Moo. • Levi: Levi is a 6.5-year-old red Shiba Inu, and honestly, he’s more like a cat than a dog. He’s super smart (sometimes too smart) and loves nothing more than napping. If I lie down, he’s instantly snuggling and snoozing right beside me. Levi was a birthday gift from my husband because I’d always dreamed of having a Shiba. His nicknames are Shiba Shiba, Inu, and Shibs. • Olive: Olive is a 2-year-old red Goldendoodle and the biggest cuddle monster you’ll ever meet. She’s like my shadow—always following me around and needing to be close. Every morning, she jumps onto the bed and lays on my chest before I even get up. She’s obsessed with ice and carrots and was the runt of her litter (and the only red one!). Her nicknames are Beanie, Bean, and Oliebean. If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for? A world with no pain, suffering, hunger, fear, or hate. Everyone deserves to feel understood and validated. We could all use more love, empathy, and smiles. 2 For all animals to feel loved, safe, and free. 3 To be able to communicate across all languages, cultures, and even species—imagine how much we’d learn from each other! Fun fact about you: I LOVE dogs—like, seriously love them! When I was a kid, I wanted to be a veterinarian just so I could play with dogs all day. My family used to breed Rottweilers, and I’d often go “missing” only to be found cuddling in the whelping pens. Even now, I can’t resist running up to a dog I see and giving them all the pets and hugs. Recently, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party, and the theme was Shiba Inus (my favorite breed). It was honestly the best day ever! What are ways beyond medication that can improve your mental health? Making time for daily self-care is huge! Yoga, massage, aromatherapy, and mindfulness meditation are my go-to recommendations. Getting outside and soaking up some nature is also underrated—it’s one of the best free medicines out there. And sleep! Good sleep is non-negotiable. If you’re not sleeping well, people are more likely to feel anxious, fatigued, and depressed, with poor concentration, paranoia, or even hallucinations. If a patient comes to me feeling off, I always ask about their sleep first. You've mentioned being passionate about working with those with religious or cultural trauma -- can you tell us about that? Growing up as a gay, first-generation Mexican-American in a deeply religious environment was really tough. I’ve experienced firsthand how damaging religious and cultural trauma can be to someone’s mental health. Because of those experiences, I feel so passionate about helping others who’ve been through similar struggles. Everyone deserves to feel loved and accepted—no matter where they come from or what they’ve been through. Are medications lifelong? Does a patient who sees you HAVE to be on medication? Mental health treatment looks different for everyone. I’m a big believer in therapy, but if you want medication, I’ll support you. If you don’t, that’s okay too. I’ll always give my professional opinion and recommendations, but at the end of the day, it’s your choice. Medications can be lifelong for some people, but not for others. If you decide to stop taking medication, I’ll help you do it safely. You don’t have to be on medication to work with me—I also offer therapy as a standalone option. If a patient is nervous about an evaluation, especially when talking about tough things like trauma or sexual abuse, what would you want them to know? I’m here to support you, not judge you. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable space where you feel heard. Think of an evaluation as more of a conversation—it’s not an interrogation. I’ll check in with you throughout to make sure you’re okay. And if there’s something you’re not ready to talk about, that’s completely fine. My hope is to build trust so that, whenever you’re ready, we can explore those things together. What are your thoughts about treating adult ADHD? Adult ADHD is real, and it doesn’t just affect kids. Adults (and even older adults) can experience ADHD too, sometimes for the first time in life. Living with ADHD often feels like your brain is juggling 10,000 things at once, making it hard to focus. I’ll work with you to find the best treatment plan that works for your unique needs. Do you have any personal mental health experiences you can share with us? Absolutely! I’ve always been an anxious person, even as a kid, and I’ve gone through some significant traumas that led to anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I’m currently on Lexapro for my anxiety, and it’s been such a game-changer. I share my experiences openly because I want to help reduce the stigma around mental health.

The name Ouroboros reflects the ongoing cycle of transformation. Your path is your own. We’re here to support it with knowledge, safety, and respect. About Services & Pricing Schedule now Anchor 1 Our Story John Greeley Wellness Guide I’m John Greeley, a certified life coach with over 15 years of experience supporting people through periods of transition, growth, and deep inner work utilizing consciousness altering compounds and techniques. My path into this work was shaped by a lifelong fascination with human consciousness and a personal belief that healing and transformation are not linear — they are cyclical, layered, and deeply individual. I created this practice because I saw a gap: people were having powerful experiences with psychedelics, cannabis, and other altered states — sometimes legally, sometimes underground — but often with little to no support before or after. These experiences can be profound, but without proper preparation or integration, their potential is often lost, or worse, becomes confusing or destabilizing. My role isn’t to facilitate or promote substance use — it’s to support people who are choosing these paths to do so with mindfulness, safety, and clarity. Whether someone is exploring cannabis for anxiety, preparing for a legal psychedelic retreat, navigating ketamine-assisted therapy, or working to change a difficult relationship with cannabis, I’m here to help create space for honest reflection, practical tools, and lasting insight. I bring a harm reduction lens to everything I do, meaning I honor your autonomy and meet you exactly where you are — without judgment, dogma, or an agenda. My work integrates elements of mindfulness, somatic awareness, behavioral psychology, and emotional resilience. I also have a particular interest in supporting clients through cannabis use disorder and conscious cannabis practices, as I’ve seen both the benefits and the complexities of this plant in real lives. At my core, I believe that every altered state — whether expansive or difficult — has the potential to teach us something. My job is to help you make sense of it, integrate what matters, and move forward with intention. My interest in consciousness has always been more than academic — it's been deeply personal. Over the years, that curiosity led me to explore a variety of altered states through plants, fungi, synthetic compounds, and traditional techniques. One particular experience profoundly reshaped the trajectory of my life. To say it “changed” me would be an understatement — it dismantled long-held beliefs, dissolved certain fears, and initiated a radical shift in how I relate to myself, others, and this ongoing journey we call life. What truly impacted me wasn’t just the experience itself — it was the processing of the experience and integrating the insights and awareness into my day to day life. Months of inner work, reflection, and reorientation taught me that insight means little without the time and tools to embody it. Years later I still reflect on that experience and continue to learn from it. That realization became the foundation for the work I do now: helping others prepare for, navigate, and integrate their own transformational moments with care, safety, and clarity.

You may be a good candidate if you.. You’re neurodivergent and want guidance that honors how you process things. We will keep it factual and not overwhelm you with vague advice or weird terminology. You’re new to cannabis and have no idea what to buy, how to use it, or even how to ask the “right” questions without feeling judged. You’re a burned-out parent who’s curious about alternative ways to reset or reconnect — but you don’t want to walk into a dispensary alone or figure out a vape on your own. You’re psychedelic-curious but not ready to jump in without understanding the why, how, and what-comes-after — or you’ve had an experience and need help making sense of it. You’re going to your first rave or festival and want to feel confident, safe, and intentional instead of overwhelmed or just going with the crowd. You’re considering a legal retreat or therapeutic experience but feel nervous, skeptical, or just plain unsure what to expect (or if you even “belong” there). We meet you where you are with evidence-based information, no judgment, and authentic support. Ouroboros is based in Arizona but operates as a fully remote entity and can serve people nationwide. Please note: Ouroboros Integration and Education Services does not provide medical, psychiatric, or therapeutic diagnosis or treatment.

Meet Jon Frank, MSN, PMHNP-BC, a compassionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner offering expert care and psychiatric medications in Tempe AZ. Jonathan Frank, MSN PMHNP-BC Gay, chill (on the outside), and running on a delicate cocktail of anxiety and ADHD—so yes, I will forget what I was saying mid-sentence, but I’ll remember a random fact about peppers forever. Drummer by trade and/or compulsion, because hitting things rhythmically is cheaper than therapy (except I also believe in therapy… thanks to my dogs). I play in a metal band called Hill Giant Witch. Speaking of dogs: proud servant to two huskies who are therapy dogs, which means they calm other people while screaming at ghosts and sirens at home. I grow hot peppers—lots of them—because I enjoy pain, flavor, and confusing my digestive system. Atheist, but spiritually connected to good music (emo and metal), spicy food, and naps. Generally easygoing, occasionally overwhelmed, always trying my best. If I’m not drumming, farming peppers, or being pulled down the street by huskies, I’m probably overthinking something that absolutely does not matter. Chill vibes, loud drums, spicy peppers, anxious energy, zero gods.. welcome to the brand. --- note from maria/the owner: in case you're wondering what kind of provider jon is.. jon once was so angry at a pharmacist for not filling a prescription for a patient that he drove to the pharmacy himself to yell at the pharmacy and sit there until the prescription was filled. he's truly an advocate who cares. Forensic Psychiatry Jon can also be found working at the Arizona State Hospital. Although he's specialized in the forensic population there, he's also just a giant teddy bear who low key prefers working with some anxiety + depression <3 Bipolar & ADHD Jon has spent a large part of his career working to understand and treat bipolar disorder, ADHD, and to truly understand the intersection when both of these exist. Psychosis If you've experienced or are experiencing psychosis through depression, bipolar, schizoaffective or another disorder, Jon is the most equipped to help with years of experience.

I am more of TV person, I enjoy the evolving story lines. If I had to pick a few it would have be some classics such as Matilda, The Goonies, Little Rascals, and Fried Green Tomatoes. Favorite superhero? No favs, top three Deadpool, Doctor Strange, and Wolverine! If you could have a superpower, what superpower would you pick? Teleportation! I love to travel and who wouldn’t want to get to their destination in seconds?! Favorite bands/singer? I can listen to almost anything. I love listening to the 90s for a feel-good mood. I also enjoy alternative rock, punk, hip hop, reggae, indie, rap, pop, and country. Top favs across the board would be The Offspring, Tool, Alkaline Trio, Train, Sublime, Garth Brooks, The Distillers, Ice Cube, Dre, Lizzo, and Taylor Swift (no apologies). If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for? Ensure everyone has a home For my children to live their lives happily and never be in need of anything Level up quickly on any skill I choose What diagnoses are you most comfortable and experienced working with? I am most comfortable treating anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, and ADHD/neurodevelopmental disorders. What are you most passionate about in the mental health field? I am passionate about education, listening to my patients, and empowering them to advocate for themselves to better overcome the barriers that have existed for so long. Stigma remains a significant obstacle in mental health, preventing many from seeking the care they need. If I can change even one person’s perspective on behavioral health, it brings us one step closer to meaningful change. What are other things you feel could be beneficial to improve mental health other than medications?: There are several studies that recommend therapy as first line treatment in many conditions. In addition, lifestyle changes such as exercise, proper nutrition, and good sleep can help further promote a good mood. I find mindfulness techniques to be very helpful in improving motivation and reducing stress levels when patients are stuck on how to start. What is your philosophy on using medication to treat mental health? Are medications lifelong? Does a patient who sees you HAVE to be on medication? Medications are just one of the tools we have in our behavioral health bag. They are not always needed or wanted. Therapy, exercise, lifestyle changes, and supplements are often incorporated with treatment plans in variable combinations. My experience working with medications is that they can help make day to day functioning and participation in therapy easier if you’re having a hard time. The question comes down to, “How much are you struggling?” Tell us about your experience working in behavioral health the past few years: My experience with behavioral health began as a nurse working in the neurology department and later with patients experiencing crisis in the emergency department. Through my experience as a nurse I was able to fully realize the impact of untreated mental health and the difficulty there was in obtaining that care. This led me to pursue becoming a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and over the last couple years have been working primarily in private practice. My experience includes treating patients 6 years old and up, combining holistic and medication management techniques. I also have a special interest in psychedelics and have experience providing Spravato and IV ketamine treatment to patients experiencing treatment resistant depression. Do you have any personal experiences regarding mental health you are open to sharing? I come from a culture where mental health is solved by “pulling up your pants,” or “trying harder.” No matter how high my pants were and how much I kept pushing, it wasn’t enough and it just led to more issues. I finally exhausted myself and realized mental health was for me, not anyone else. Only I could determine what was right for myself and quite frankly it was no one else’s business. How do you feel about marijuana? Marijuana is legal in Arizona and patients have the right to consume if they wish. Marijuana like any other drug or supplement has its risks and benefits. As a provider I acknowledge that patients benefit from different avenues of care. Every BODY is different. Some people do well with moderation and others struggle and exacerbate their symptoms. Together we can explore what is right for you in a judgement free zone. What are your thoughts about treating adult ADHD? There shouldn’t be any difference in the treatment of adult ADHD. That is, every condition should be assessed for and ruled out when meeting new patients. ADHD should always be considered for patients struggling with concentration, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. Mental health has not been perfect in the past, and many adults including myself were not diagnosed appropriately as a child. Of course stigma plays a huge role in this. I want my patients to feel comfortable asking about any symptoms or concerns they have without fear of being judged or discriminated.
