I have worked in mental health supporting youth, couples, adults and families for two decades. I am passionate about helping those with attachment and complex trauma shift their internal wiring to experience a new and more skillful way of being in the world.
I am trained in multiple empirically validated trauma treatment modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) for Complex Trauma, Neurosequential Model of Therapy (NMT) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT).
Mental health care shouldn't feel rushed, intimidating, or like you're checking boxes. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and actively participating in their care. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized, evidence-based treatment while remembering that you're much more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.
I am a down-to-earth, supportive, nonjudgmental, and open-minded Board Certified Psychiatric NP. I began my work in psychiatric care as a registered nurse treating patients in various hospital settings who were experiencing a mental health crisis. For a more rewarding 1-on-1 approach, I returned to grad school and earned a Masters, and chose to become certified as a Psychiatric NP. I am honored and fortunate to have the opportunity to manage medications for kids and adults with ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Panic, Sleep problems, and other ailments from a place of encouragement and respect and based on an ever growing library of peer reviewed scientific literature and medical treatment guidelines.
I'm looking forward to coming alongside and walking with you as your mental health journey unfolds. In 2023 I completed my doctoral training as a psychiatric nurse practitioner at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. I earned my board certification in the fall of that same year. Since then I've had opportunities to work with clients from diverse backgrounds with a wide variety of mental health needs. Whether you're looking for help with ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, or sleep issues I'm confident that, working together, we can create positive change in your life.
As a holistic dual board certified mental health and family nurse practitioner, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!

Hello! My name is Julia. I have an MA in Couple and Family Therapy from Antioch University. My experience spans seven years of working with individuals, couples and families. I tend to work from person-centered, strengths-based and creative modalities.

LaDonna Putman, MS, LMHC, SUDP, Credentialed Minister
I am passionate about helping individuals find healing, hope, and restoration through life’s most difficult seasons. I began my career as a Substance Use Counselor in 2008 and transitioned into the mental health field in 2018. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people navigating trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.
I specialize in trauma-informed care and evidence-based treatment for PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and military families. With over a decade of experience, I offer culturally responsive therapy in English and Spanish. My telehealth-only practice provides a safe, supportive space for healing, growth, and emotional wellness.
Thank you for stopping by. I'm a licensed therapist and have been actively working with clients for the past 23 years. Iv had the pleasure and experience and have worked with most MH disorders/significant life affecting events and across all age groups. My passion is to be authentically present while facilitating a search for meaning of past/present events. I believe self love is essential therefor self esteem development is fostered.
Are you the person who keeps it all together but you're exhausted doing it? I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, burnout, and depression. Many of my patients spent decades being told they were fine, just anxious, just disorganized, just needed to try harder. They weren't. They needed the right evaluation and the right support.
I offer telehealth psychiatric care across Washington State. Most patients are seen within 1–2 weeks. I accept Cigna, Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, and Carolina plans.
If you're ready to stop managing symptoms alone and start actually understanding your brain, I'd love to work with you.
Navigating a difficult relationship, struggling with a life transition, or just unsure how to proceed in making your life what you want it to be? I provide a supportive and totally non-judgmental environment for you to explore your options and figure out concrete ways to move forward.
I believe the best mental health care begins with listening. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric evaluations and medication management for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, behavioral concerns, and life stressors. My approach is collaborative and personalized, taking time to understand the whole person, not just their symptoms.
Together, we'll develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, which may include medication management, education, lifestyle recommendations, and brief supportive therapy during medication management visits. While I incorporate therapeutic techniques into our appointments to help you build coping skills and achieve your treatment goals, I do not provide ongoing individual psychotherapy. If more intensive or regular therapy would benefit you, I'm happy to coordinate care with your therapist or help connect you with one.
My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting progress.
