My name is Julie Burke and I graduated from Ga State University with a master’s in nursing. I am board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist. I have been in private practice setting since 2012. I opened my own practice in collaboration with Dr. Jennifer Richason. I believe a good relationship, mutual understanding and genuinely caring for my clients provides the best opportunity for success. I offer both in person and virtual appointments. I was born and raised in Carroll County. I am married with 3 grown children and 1 grandchild. My hobbies include baking, horseback riding and spending time with my family. I think a good work life balance is imperative in this day and time so I work 3-4 days a week.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I hope the biggest thing clients take away from sessions is feeling they are heard. I want you to feel someone is invested in you and your care.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I provide a thorough clinical history evaluation, diagnosis and medication management. I also provide brief psychotherapy, relapse prevention and education on pertinent topics
