Julie Calvery-Carman, FNP, PMHNP

Philosophy of Care

Julie Calvery-Carman is a board certified Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a passion for providing quality care that is customized to meet the needs of patients. Julie started her journey in healthcare in 1996 as a nurse, and has worked in a variety of settings including the hospital, clinic, skilled nursing facility, and university setting. Julie has been a Nurse Practitioner since 2008, initially board certified as a family nurse practitioner, and then returning for an additional certification in 2020 to become a PMHNP. During her time in healthcare, Julie has seen the effects of anxiety, depression, and trauma on both health and relationships and sees the importance of working with patients to impact all areas of health.

Previous experiences in healthcare have helped Julie to see the importance of mental health in all areas of health and led to her pursuing further education in this area. She values collaboration, education, and practical ways to incorporate positive mental health strategies such as self-care into daily life.

It is important for patients to choose a provider that can meet them where they are in life. Julie believes open communication and patient involvement are essential parts of the visit, and views herself as a partner in the care of each patient.

Martha McCool, PMHNP

Philosophy of Care

Ms. Martha McCool is a board certified Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. She began her healthcare career as a Medical/Surgical nurse. She went onto work as a nurse at a primary care clinic for low-income patients. She saw firsthand how mental health issues were often not addressed within acute and primary care settings.

This led her to pursue an MSN degree specializing in Psychiatric/Mental Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Ms. McCool worked as a Psychiatric nurse at the largest in-patient psychiatric hospital in the Mid-South while obtaining her MSN. Her experience in treating mental illness in the acute care setting made her recognize the importance of mental health prevention and out-patient care management. She has experience working in community mental health, treating a variety of mental illness (ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, PTSD) across the lifespan.

Ms. McCool is dedicated to increasing public knowledge about mental illness and expanding access to mental healthcare. She understands that most people experience barriers to mental healthcare and wants to dispel the stigma attached to seeking care.
