Julianne Folsom

Here's a polished introduction suitable for a Therapy Finder profile. It is under 500 words and emphasizes both your clinical expertise and your approachability. Welcome. I'm Julianne Folsom, MSN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and PhD clinical psychologist with more than 30 years of healthcare experience and extensive training in the assessment and treatment of mental health conditions across the lifespan. I believe that exceptional psychiatric care begins with compassion, careful listening, and a genuine partnership between provider and patient. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, sleep disorders, and other complex psychiatric conditions. I also provide comprehensive evaluations for individuals navigating life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, and work-related stress. My treatment philosophy is evidence-based and individualized. I combine psychiatric medication management with psychotherapy principles, psychoeducation, lifestyle interventions, and collaborative treatment planning to help patients achieve meaningful, lasting improvement. Every person has a unique story, and I believe treatment should be tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Patients often describe me as warm, thorough, and attentive. I strive to create an environment where people feel heard, respected, and comfortable discussing even the most difficult topics without fear of judgment. My goal is not simply to reduce symptoms but to help patients build resilience, improve relationships, strengthen emotional well-being, and regain confidence in their daily lives. In addition to general psychiatry, I have a special interest in trauma-informed care, treatment-resistant mood disorders, ADHD across the lifespan, veterans' mental health, and innovative treatments, including ketamine-assisted therapy for appropriate candidates. I enjoy working collaboratively with therapists, primary care providers, specialists, and families when appropriate to ensure comprehensive, coordinated care. Whether you are seeking help for a new concern or have struggled with mental health challenges for years, you do not have to face them alone. My commitment is to provide thoughtful, compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care while helping you develop the skills and confidence needed to move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
