Family MedicinePsychiatry

My name is Julie Murphy. I am a double board certified Nurse Practitioner with the ANCC for both Family Medicine and Psychiatric Mental Health. In addition, I am a Certified Menopause Provider with the Menopause Society, (MSCP). As an RN I worked in various settings over the years including ICU, ER, and med surge. I have cared for women after surgery due to cancer. I was a Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner, caring for women after assault. As a Family Nurse Practitioner for 17 years, I have worked in New York City at an Allergy/ Immunology clinic treating patients for various food allergy, environmental allergies and skin reactions. I have seen how food allergy, sensitivities, and histamine intolerance can shift due to hormonal fluctuations. For 11 years I have been delivering care in a rural medical clinic treating patients for a variety of medical concerns and have seen how quickly our health can change in mid life with weight gain, insulin resistance, and the development of mental health concerns. I have spent the last 6 years delivering psychiatric care to patients in New Mexico. I have seen how the hormonal changes and social stress of mid life impacts mental health. My most recent focus has been to receive additional education on how to deliver hormone therapy to patients during the transitions of mid life, perimenopause, menopause, and for men andropause. I am a Menopause Society Certified Provider and Perry Academy Certificate Provider.
