Dr Julie Mutua
My name is Juliana Mutua. Am a psychiatric practitioner here at Durham NC. I see mental health patients/ drug addictions and behavioral patients. The years i have worked as a Psychiatric practitioner. i have learned that life is a journey and what one does not know cannot look for a solution for it. My journey started when i was a floor nurse at a teenager psychiatric word, and after working with them for over 5 years , i learned your mind can make you loose purpose of life and wait for whatever comes on your way. From this i went back to school for my master's. Which i obtained masters in Psychiatric practitioner ,then later i obtained my doctorate Degree . The most important thing i have learned is without purpose and motive you cannot obtain your goal in life and that is why most of my therapy is a towards finding purpose to those who lost it, motivation to others , finding self to others, and finding peace with self and ur environment
