Taking the first step to seek mental health treatment with the social stigma and stereotypes around the world can be challenging in it's itself. Stigma and stereotypes can cause people to not seek help for fear of the unknown and being judged by others. I offer an open safe supportive environment for clients to discuss their issues with out judgment. My goal is to have an open dialogue with clients about their goals and outcomes in treatment. I tailor therapy to the client's needs and strengths perspective to empower change. I am willing to invest the time and energy to helping my clients meet their needs.

Julie McClure, PA-C is joining Beautiful Mind Behavioral Health Services as a psychiatry physician assistant practitioner. She has previously spent nearly 10 years working with children and adults with rare metabolic disorders. In addition to being certified by the National Committee on Certification of Physician Assistants and licensed by the North Carolina Medical Board, Julie is a registered dietitian. She has a particular interest in treating patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic attacks, depression, bipolar, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), substance abuse and disordered eating.

My ideal client comes to me with a desire for personal growth and to increase self awareness. I believe that increased self awareness and a willingness to take personal responsibility for ones feelings, thoughts, and behaviors is the key to overcoming mental health issues of any kind. As well as, a necessary ingredient to healthy relationships with others.

Change can be intimidating however, by starting this process you have already taken a big step. Therapy is a collaboration opportunity to navigate the challenges occuring in your life. The approach that I use is one to help ensure that you learn practical tools that you can apply outside the office to assist you on your growth journey. I believe that every person has within them everything they need to grow and learn in life. Through discovering what works best for you, therapy can move you to approach self-healing and move in a positive direction.

We all strive to find our way in a difficult world. Yet many people find themselves feeling alone and misunderstood. I specialize in helping people with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and legal issues. I work primarily with adults and adolescents and am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

Everyone’s path to healing is unique, and I’m here to support you on your healing journey. Reaching out to begin therapy can be a difficult first step, but you are deserving of healing! I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up unapologetically. Culturally sensitive care is at the forefront of my work, and I enjoy connecting with communities of color and those who hold marginalized identities.

I am currently not accepting new client referrals. My greatest pleasure is in seeing the people I work with grow, develop new skills, and make choices that bring more joy into their lives and into the lives of their families. I consult with parents to improve discipline and strengthen the parent-child relationship. I also specialize in working with adolescents who are trying to navigate the social and academic pressures that come with secondary school, often working with parents and their teens to foster better communication and trust.

During my 32 years of working with clients I have developed my own style and approach. I call it "Therapeutic Conversations." It focuses on solving problems, setting realistic goals, growing spiritually, celebrating progress and having fun when possible. This is done in a supportive and listening context. Home work and resources are provided. At this time all sessions are on the phone.

There's a quote by Dr. Russell Barkley that says, "The kids who need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways." Because I'm a mother of 5 that has 11 years of experience with adoption issues, I know this to be true. Developmental trauma has a huge impact on children, whether it is a result of inconsistent early caregiving (adoption/foster/difficult home life), a difficult pregnancy or delivery, early hospitalization, abuse, or neglect. These are the kids that desperately need to feel loved and secure, but will act out in many ways to test their caregivers' resolve.

We all need some guidance to help us through life; without life experiences, there can be no learning, and without learning, there can be no growth, and without growth, there can be no wisdom that will help sustain us through life. We all were born with a purpose, and sometimes we need that extra guidance to help push us to believe in ourselves and lead us down the right path to success. Struggles are real and having an empathetic ear that will listen and strength-based guidance will give you added encouragement to keep pushing you towards your hopes, dreams and goals for your life.

Hello! There is much excitement on my end of serving as a mental health therapist. Using a non-judgmental lens, I want to start each journey with learning about the client's walk of life as I have a genuine interest in everyone's life experiences. I love working with a broad range of clients. I have a special interest in first-generation, low-income, and minority college students, high school students, and young adults. 

I specialize in working with children, using developmentally appropriate treatment methods. I have multiple years of experience working with children dealing with a variety of life issues including trauma, foster care/adoption, anger management, anxiety, self-esteem, and other behavioral issues. I provide parents with evidence-based parenting strategies to promote the parent-child attachment and healthy development of the child.

My mission is to empower my clients to navigate their lives in a new way which brings joy. Through therapeutic work, I strive to bring clarity and awareness to patterns of thought which prevent healthy and happy living, and redirect ineffective thought patterns into productive solutions.

"And they lived happily ever after", is a phrase that many associate with ideal romance. At times, on the way to "ever after", partners encounter difficulties that reduce the degree of positive regard that they feel toward one another. Sometimes these difficulties may be connected to parenting, stress, self esteem, family life cycle transitions, etc. My mission is to assist partners in their journey to rediscover the poetry in their relationship, as well as to support family systems and individuals as they work towards their relational goals and becoming their best selves.

Whatever challenges you may be facing, you don’t need to be alone in your journey. Together, we can work to help you develop the necessary tools and skills to make positive changes in your life. I’m a licensed psychologist with over 20 years’ experience helping people overcome their struggles, achieve their goals, and live a more fulfilling, meaningful, and authentic life. I believe in a collaborative and interactive approach to therapy, combining my years of training and experience with each patient’s unique strengths to work toward achieving therapy goals.

I believe that each person is unique and that their story is their own. I do not know what you are experiencing at this time, however, it is my goal to understand what you are experiencing by listening to and learning from you. I believe that we can work together to establish a working relationship that feels safe while promoting healing and growth for you.

We are here to serve clients ages 7 - 77, who are challenged by a multitude of behavioral health concerns to include substance use disorders, and complex mental health scenarios where both medical and psychiatric conditions coexist. Moreover, as a trained Healthcare Chaplain, I seek to provide incarnational care. The aim of " Beautiful Mind" is to be incarnational. Therefore, to provide a holistic treatment approach to all who call upon our services.

Something in life just is not working. Despite numerous successes or reasons you feel you should be happy, you are overcome with sadness, guilt, and shame. You find yourself uncomfortable in your own skin, leading you to avoiding everyday life, or overindulging in drugs or alcohol to cope. You feel trapped by these problems, and you don’t know how to fix it. When you finally make the decision to begin therapy, it can be an intimidating and overwhelming step to take. I strive to create a space that is safe for clients to be themselves and realize their personal vision for change.

Tired of taking one step forward and two steps back? Feeling afraid and alone, unappreciated and undervalued? Struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting woes, academic or social complications? Do you feel like you are just waiting for the next calamity to happen and yet still exhausted from your current situation? I can help. I can support you as you work through issues. You don't have to do it alone. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. ~Lao Tzu.
