About Me.
Julie P. Dunne, PhD, PMHNP-BC, RYT
I am a Clinical Associate Professor at Boston College and a Teaching Associate at Harvard Medical School/CHA Center for Mindfulness and Compassion. I am licensed as a psychiatric nurse practitioner and a registered yoga teacher. I specialize in providing outpatient mindful mental health services, including prescribing psychiatric medications.
I’ve worked at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital, the Cambridge Eating Disorder Center, the Cambridge Health Alliance, TaraVista Behavioral Health Center and Walden Behavioral Care.
I identify as a mixed person of color and/or Asian-American. I use she/her pronouns. I enjoy yoga, cooking, reading, being outdoors and traveling.
