PROFESSIONAL NURSING PRACTICE/NP PROGRAM CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Having started her career in healthcare as a Certified Medical Assistant in 2003, Julie pursued her career in nursing with a passion often unparalleled. She became a Licensed Vocational Nurse in 2009, a Registered Nurse in 2013, and then earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Texas Woman’s University. Eventually, having realized the profound importance mental health holds, she chose to specialize in psychiatry and sought her graduate training at the University of Texas Health Science Center Houston’s Cizik School of Nursing where she earned her Master of Science in Nursing with the focus of Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. “Pursuing a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner degree felt so natural as my career and education evolved. I believe that my fortitude in the face of personal adversity, my genuine desire to help my patients live the fullest lives they can, and my knowing that I am no different from my patients sets me apart from many other providers; these qualities enable me to provide the kind of care that so many individuals need, yet do not even believe they deserve. I am committed to providing professional, compassionate, patient-centered, and evidence-based care for my patients.” Most important to Julie is her desire to focus her attention on reducing mental health disparities for underserved populations across the lifespan, with an emphasis on child advocacy, LGBTQIA persons, and those who suffer from the devastating effects of substance misuse. With experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, Julie knows the importance of individualized, case by case care.

For over 5 years I have deliberately seeked a variety of opportunities to shape and hone my abilities to become a licensed counselor. In addition to my education in psychology and counseling, I have been assisting Dr. Bryant and his patients for the past 3 years. This experience has given me clinical knowledge and hands-on training with various disorders such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and autism. Working at Flourish Mental Health has also given me the opportunity to be a co-leader in trauma groups, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technician, and translator for the Latin community within our practice. It has been rewarding to help people in their most vulnerable times, aid in the treatment drug-resistant depression, and connect with patients on a cultural level. Furthermore, I have worked in the hospice setting, which allowed me to work with individuals going through grief and bereavement. Much of my training and personal style include implementing the Christian perspective and spirituality into counseling. Once I become licensed, I am excited to implement animal assisted therapy. I am also looking forward to acquiring more knowledge in eating disorders as well as family and couples therapy, and leading my own groups. Pronouns: she, her, hers.

Practicum Mental Health Student
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
I believe in taking a compassionate, holistic approach in treating mental health. By engaging patients in cognitive behavioral therapy, I strongly advocate for intentional living, mindfulness, structure and examining environmental components that affect day-to-day living. I primarily treat individual adults who deal with anxiety, depression and tobacco dependence. Another area that I have an interest in is eating disorders, with a focus on overeating. For those who prefer a faith-based approach, I also offer Christian counseling. With over six years of experience, I know that each individual is unique and that an empathic, personalized treatment is paramount to a successful therapeutic relationship.

I am passionate about taking action to give our non-physical wounds the same amount of care as we do our bodily ones. So many of us keep fighting through life despite being deeply hurt – we want to pull ourselves together and move on so quickly that we do not give our wounds the time they need to heal. Through a mind-body, person-centered, and trauma-focused approach, I deliver effective and unique interventions to individuals, couples, and families based on their specific mental health needs. As a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, I also specialize in seeing clientele that have co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders. In addition, my experiences working with children and adolescents over the course of 4 years at Tri-County Behavioral Healthcare have provided me with the knowledge and expertise necessary to provide counseling services to youth ages 5-17. As a Latina immigrant myself, I understand how immigration, acculturation, trauma, and generational struggles affect our Spanish-speaking clientele – and I will continue to use the knowledge, attitude, and skills I have learned throughout my years in the counseling field to raise awareness with the objective of normalizing discussions centered around psychological well-being and the importance of mental health! My philosophy is that we all have strengths; together we can create a safe, confidential, and uplifting environment in which to find these strengths while healing, learning, growing, and discovering a better way forward.

To me therapy is not a technique, it is an art. The art of a collaborative process of analyzing, challenging, solving, accepting, and then changing a difficult situation, unpleasant feeling, or interrupting behavior. My therapeutic style may seem a little different from the traditional style of therapy. Because we both are going to work on the issue. I am a bilingual therapist; I can provide therapy in Farsi.
