Charlene Julien

Professional Nurse

“I have 8 years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner in primary care and Gastroenterology/Hepatology. I am trained and qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, and prescribe medication. I have certifications in CBT and EMDR and provide therapy services. I'd love to learn about you and help you.”

About Me

I'm here to partner with you in understanding and addressing your mental health. Drawing on my background, I offer comprehensive support: diagnosis, medication management, and therapy. We can explore approaches like EMDR to help process challenging experiences. For those seeking integrated care, I provide a space where you feel truly heard. Together, we guide you towards practical ways to improve your well-being.

Approach

I meet you with practical, symptom-focused care that moves from understanding to action, shaping sessions around what matters most to you. In Concord or online, in English, appointments are paced to fit your life—short-term skill work, mood check-ins, and gentle processing when memories or stress feel overwhelming. Between sessions we try small, measurable steps and I track how treatments affect your day-to-day, adjusting as needed. This steady, collaborative rhythm tends to help people facing transitions, anxiety, sleep problems, or trauma.
