Julian S. Montanez Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

As a Latin-American, Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Arizona, I bring a deep community connection and over 15 years of medical experience to my passion for mental health care. My journey began during undergraduate studies, where I recognized the importance of addressing our shared human condition for healing and resilience.

I serve clients from adolescence through age 60, specializing in psychiatric assessments, medication management, brief solution-focused therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and psychoanalytically-informed psychodynamic psychotherapy (with ongoing advanced training, certification, and supervision from expert clinicians in the latter), for conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorders, and thought disorders.

I conduct comprehensive evaluations, prescribe medications using evidence-based guidelines, and develop personalized treatment plans that center your values and needs. I warmly welcome collaboration with your primary care provider and other care team members to support your journey.

Using an integrative, biopsychosocial framework, I empower individuals with tools to monitor symptoms and build lifelong habits for lasting well-being. Founding P’AZ reflects my dedication to fostering trust and transformation, helping you not only manage symptoms but also pursue a life filled with connection, purpose, and joy—whether thriving in relationships, embracing the present, or chasing new aspirations.

I look forward to partnering with you in a welcoming, supportive space to achieve your mental health goals.
