Julee Higgins
Hi! I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) based in Connecticut. I received my masters degree from Fairfield University and have been practicing for 9 years. I help young adults/adults struggling with depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety. Together we determine the best pharmacological (and non-pharmacological) interventions to provide relief of symptoms. I offer psychiatric evaluations and medication management. I will *no longer* be prescribing benzodiazepines or stimulants. I do not complete accommodations/disability paperwork. I work with adults (18 - 64 years old) to improve the quality of their lives through a collaborative process in which client and provider together devise treatment plans. I combine clinical expertise with a warm, empathetic approach to help clients achieve their best mental health.

First session
In our first session we'll start with brief introductions and then jump into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
I specialize in treating young adults/adults and offer a non-judgmental, friendly and empathetic approach to each client's circumstances.
Ideal clients
I like to work with clients from all backgrounds and help them achieve their treatment goals. An ideal psychiatric patient is someone who actively participates in their treatment and consistently shows up for their appointments, demonstrating openness and self-awareness about their mental health. I am committed to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals dealing with depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder as well as other mental health challenges. I tailor treatment plans to the specific needs of my clients and look forward to helping them become a better version of themselves.
Treatment methods
Supportive
Supportive psychotherapy is a collaborative process. I use supportive psychotherapy and motivational interviewing as I seek to understand the clientâs perspectives and experiences, express empathy, and highlight their strengths. I use supportive psychotherapy to engage with my client's as an equal partner and refrain from unsolicited advice.
