Julie Seaman, PMHNP-BC, is a certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in substance use disorders and dual diagnoses in both adolescents and adults. Her passion for mental health emerged while working in inpatient settings, where she recognized the importance of compassionate, ongoing care. Motivated to be a stronger advocate and agent of change, she pursued advanced education to help break the stigma surrounding mental health and better serve her patients.

Julie has always been drawn to the helping professions. Her journey began in early childhood education (1996–2004), then expanded into holistic healing through certifications in Integrative Yoga Therapy (2004), Ayurveda (2004–2008), and becoming a Reiki master. She taught yoga to adults and children for a decade while deepening her understanding of mind-body wellness.

Driven to support others on a broader scale, Julie became a Registered Nurse in 2014 and immediately focused on mental health—working in a variety of residential programs addressing substance use, eating disorders, gender identity, OCD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and more. She earned her BSN while working, and later her MSN, gaining experience in both residential and acute psychiatric settings. 

In 2021, Julie became a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and helped open the Arundel Lodge Behavioral Health urgent care clinic, where she continues to treat individuals across the lifespan with conditions ranging from mood and personality disorders to schizophrenia, autism, and trauma using a compassionate, integrative approach to mental health care.

While urgent care offers meaningful clinical experience, Julie feels a deep calling toward more relational, long-term care. She founded Blue Water Wellness to create a welcoming space where clients feel truly seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journeys. At Blue Water Wellness, she offers personalized psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and treatment planning—blending clinical expertise with a holistic approach, all rooted in empathy, respect, and a commitment to excellence.
