Juliana is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over seven years of behavioral health experience and advanced clinical training spanning outpatient psychiatry, consultation-liaison psychiatry, and inpatient crisis stabilization. She completed her PMHNP clinical training across three distinct settings — outpatient psychiatry, the emergency department and medical units at NYP Westchester, and a psychiatric evaluation center — where she conducted comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, suicide risk assessments, safety planning, and medication management for children, adolescents, and adults. Juliana currently serves as a Senior Staff Nurse on the Crisis Stabilization Unit at NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester Behavioral Health, where she has been recognized with both the Rising Star and Clinical Nursing Excellence Awards. Her quality improvement work — a CBT- and DBT-informed coping skills initiative selected for presentation at the American Psychiatric Nurses Association Annual Conference — reflects a clinician who brings the same rigor and intentionality to systems improvement that she brings to direct patient care.
“Good psychiatric care requires more than clinical knowledge — it requires the kind of steady, thoughtful presence that makes patients feel safe enough to do the hard work of healing. That’s what I come back to, every session.”

Ages Treated: Adults
Bethany is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner whose clinical background is as wide-ranging as it is distinctive — spanning flight nursing, emergency care, inpatient behavioral health, and advanced psychiatric practice. Before transitioning into psychiatry, she spent years as a critical care transport nurse and flight nurse across fixed and rotor wing aircraft, building exceptional clinical judgment, crisis management skills, and composure under pressure that she now brings directly to advanced psychiatric practice. Bethany’s PMHNP clinical training took her across a rich variety of settings — inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, telehealth, autism and ADHD assessments, pediatric behavioral health, and substance use treatment — giving her a genuinely broad foundation across the lifespan. Currently completing a one-year PMHNP residency at Modyfi focused on integrative psychiatry, pharmacology, and trauma management, she approaches every patient with curiosity, clinical depth, and a commitment to meeting complex needs with individualized care.
“The patients I’ve cared for — in flight, in the ER, and now in psychiatry — have all taught me the same thing: people rise to meet the care that’s genuinely offered to them. That’s the standard I hold myself to every time.”

Psychiatric medication management is when a psychiatric nurse practitioner ensures your mental health medications are safe and effective. They assess your needs, prescribe medication, check how you’re doing, and adjust as needed.
How is it different from therapy?
Therapy is talking through thoughts and feelings with a mental health professional to learn coping skills.
At ReKlame, your Care Team is made up of a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP) and a Care Navigator who will guide you through the end to end journey.
Your Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner makes clinical diagnoses and prescribes medication to provide safe and effective treatment.
Your Care Navigator is like your personal healthcare guide. They’re there to make your healthcare experience as easy and stress-free as possible. They help you navigate through your journey, from scheduling appointments to connecting you with helpful resources.
Your initial consultation will take about 45 to 60 minutes. After that, your follow-ups will be shorter, around 15 to 20 minutes each. How often you need to visit will depend on what you specifically need.
At your first appointment, your provider will get to know you and your mental health and medical history. It’s a safe space – you can ask or share anything! Your treatment will be unique to you. After the visit, you’ll get a clear plan and resources for your mental health journey. We’re here to support your healing journey.
At ReKlame, our team of psychiatric nurse practitioners has got you covered. Each of us is skilled in different areas. To find the perfect fit for you, just check out our ‘Meet the Team’ page and book an appointment with the clinician who feels right for you.
