I have a Nursing Doctorate, an MSN in Psychiatric Nursing and BA in Latin American Studies. I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and certified in perinatal mental health. I believe in treating the whole person, not just prescribing medication. I work with nutrition, movement, sleep, time in nature, intentional socialization. I use supportive therapy with medication visits. I truly love what I do.
My training covers a broad range of areas, and I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the many challenges in life. I strive to create a compassionate, supportive space where you feel safe sharing your experiences. Together, we partner to explore strategies and tools that are tailored to your unique needs.
I'm Dr. Jason Johnson, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Washington State University. I have over 15 years of experience in mental health, starting as a counselor before advancing into psychiatry. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and weight-related mental health concerns, using a comprehensive approach that includes therapy, medications, nutrition, and hormone support. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where we work together to help you feel your best.
Hello. My name is Julie and I am a licensed mental health counselor. In addition to working in WA state in a clinic setting, I have spent five years in Singapore working as a social/emotional counselor in a large international high school. In that role, I supported students and families from over 75 countries in the world. That helps me to view counseling from an inclusive and culturally sensitive space. I now make my home in the beautiful PNW and am excited to ground my practice here.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker and therapist with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I'm passionate about supporting people in navigating life's storms, connecting with what matters most to them, and living meaningful, fulfilling lives.
I especially enjoy working with:
- New mothers and parents of all genders in nurturing their own well being through the world-upending transition to parenthood
- Parents at all stages facing the myriad pressures and stressors of modern life
- Adolescents and young adults navigating growth, change, and identity exploration
I enjoy learning about ways we can change and understand our human existence. We are thinking, feeling and doing beings. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides a framework to identify ways to do it differently and better. Trauma treatment modalities like EMDR may support processing neurological and physiological reactions and being able to feel secure and safe while staying connected to others more fully. Our story is just that; we write it and edit it. We get to choose the chapters and path of our lives, through the unknowns, mysteries and celebrations.
You're used to handling responsibility. You know life is what you make of it and you normally feel pretty optimistic and accomplished. But lately you find yourself off-balance. You may regret things you've said or done because there was no time to really sort out the best path. BEFORE you cut off important foundation pieces- your marriage, career, activities and people you've loved that feel like they no longer fit, see me and together let's make sure they're not part of your protective alarm system, begging for perspective and healthier personal balance.
For more than twenty years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, adults, and couples during some of the most difficult and meaningful seasons of their lives. I believe that sometimes it can be difficult to see beyond the darkness in front of us. My role is to listen without judgement while helping you find your way toward the light again.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Board-Certified (PMHNP-BC) with experience in mental health care since 2016. I earned my psychiatric certification in 2019 and have dedicated my practice to helping individuals navigate a wide range of mental health concerns with compassion, respect, and clinical expertise.
I am a board‐certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctorate in psychiatric mental health, and I believe healing begins when you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your own care. I treat children, adolescents, and adults, and I work to create a calm, welcoming space where you can show up as you are and feel genuinely seen—not just your symptoms.
Hi! I'm a doctorally prepared Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife!

I take a thoughtful, personalized approach to understanding your concerns and develop an integrative care plan that considers the many factors influencing your mental health and well-being. My goal is not just symptom relief - it's helping you feel like yourself again.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Tacoma
Finding postpartum therapists in Tacoma starts with looking for support that matches your specific needs after birth or during the perinatal period. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum care, or work with new parents. Some therapists may also list a Perinatal Mental Health Certification, or PMH-C, which can signal added training in this area.
In Tacoma, your options may include therapists with local offices, virtual appointments, or both. For new parents, practical details often matter as much as clinical specialty — including appointment times, scheduling flexibility, and whether a therapist is accepting new patients. Virtual care can make it easier to attend sessions while managing infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each person describes their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns before you book.
Therapy in Tacoma can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage and review available options before booking. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before booking, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
