About Me

JULIA EPSTEIN, PMHNP, FNP

She/her

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with a focus on adolescent and adult care. I earned my BSN and MSN from Columbia University, completed a PMHNP Post-Masters at George Washington University, and earned a BA in History from the University of Michigan. Prior to training as a PMHNP, I worked as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) in community health centers and mobile medical units treating families with complex medical and mental health issues. My research includes studies in women’s health and infectious diseases.


I have experience in out-patient, partial care (IOP) and community mental health settings. My treatment is collaborative and research-driven and my approach is empathetic, holistic and patient-centric. I work closely with my clients to set realistic goals and create individualized treatment plans. I am available for talk therapy, medication evaluation and management, or a combination of both medication and talk therapy.

 

I strive to create a climate of safety, trust and inclusion that encourages meaningful exploration of all values, identities and behaviors. Welcome!

Testimonials

Patient comments

  • "After years of looking far and wide for the "right" PNP, my teenager and I found Julia. She is such a good listener, asks the right questions, and empathizes with my son. He feels absolutely heard by her. And she's extremely responsive--gets back to me the same day I reach out. My son and I both feel safe...like somebody has our back in terms of ensuring his well-being and ease. We recommend her without reservation."

  • "Julia is by far one of the best psychiatric providers that I have ever seen. She is always responsive if I am having trouble working with a pharmacy to get my medication and is easy to get a hold of! It is so clear that she cares deeply about her patients, and that they find the right medication and receive the kind of care that they need. Always great talking to her as well!"

  • "I recently moved to Oregon from another state, and was nervous about finding quality care on a short timeline. Julia was not only responsive and available; but took the time to genuinely get to know me. Each time we meet, I feel taken care of, both mentally and physically. She always takes her time to talk with me about what is going on in my life, as well as what I am feeling, and our time never feels rushed. She is thoughtful, warm, intelligent, and open-minded--I greatly appreciate that I found her when I did."
