Compassionate, Personalized Support

Living with PTSD/trauma, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, ADHD, or mood instability can be exhausting-especially when it starts to affect relationships, work, sleep, or confidence. My goal is to help you find meaningful relief while also building insight and skills that support lasting change. I’m Juli Black, PMHNP-BC (ANCC Board-Certified) with 14 years in nursing, including 10 years in psychiatric settings, and practicing as a psychiatric nurse practitioner since 2022.

At Contemporary Mental Health, I provide personalized medication management, supportive counseling, and psychiatric education. I commonly treat PTSD/complex PTSD, treatment-resistant depression/MDD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety, OCD, and substance use challenges.

My approach is warm, accepting, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. We’ll choose options together and you’ll leave with a practical plan aligned with your goals. Free 15-minute consult available. Serving children 10+, teens, and adults. Serving Veterans too!

Everyone is welcome at Contemporary Mental Health!
