Welcome to Our Hopeful and Holistic Healing Center.

Combining mental health expertise with holistic primary care to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. Specializing in ADHD, gut health, and stress-related conditions.


Greetings!

My name is Charlene Julien, and I am a Family Nurse Practitioner trained at the MGH Institute of Health Professions and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner graduate of Johns Hopkins University. As an Usui Reiki practitioner with a background in primary care and Gastroenterology/Hepatology, and having completed the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases Hepatology NP/PA Fellowship, I am uniquely equipped to offer holistic personalized mental health care.

Personalized, Compassionate Care:

I specialize in treating overlapping mental and physical health concerns, offering personalized care for ADHD, digestive disorders, and stress-related conditions.

My practice is built on a foundation of evidence-based knowledge fused with heartfelt compassion, aiming to enhance your mental and physical well-being. My services are inclusive, welcoming children and men, while providing a specialized focus on women’s health, particularly for those aged 20s through 50s.

Let’s face it: health care is struggling with rushed visits and limited treatment options tailored for quick results but not necessarily long-lasting healing. My practice is different; you will not be rushed, and your feelings and thoughts are explored fully during and in between our time together.

Comprehensive Care Approach:

  • Tailored Treatment Plans: I will work with you to develop personalized strategies for conditions like insomnia, fibromyalgia, fatty liver disease, metabolic disorders, and specialized ADHD testing and management.

  • Integrated Practices: Combining lifestyle modifications, dietary guidance, stress management, and personalized judicious medication use are incorporated to ensure an effective treatment plan.

  • Holistic Influence: My practice integrates Western, Caribbean, and Ayurvedic medicine to ensure effective and sustained healing.

My Commitment to You:

  • Personalized Care: Specializing in women’s health from 20s through 50s with comprehensive care for ADHD in children and adults in my efforts to provide thoughtful well-being solutions for the family.

  • Unrushed Visits: Each session is dedicated to exploring and understanding your unique health needs, ensuring that you receive the attentive care you deserve.

  • Flexible Consultations: Available in-person in Massachusetts, and telehealth for those in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Let's navigate life's challenges and embrace the transformative power of holistic care.

"Working with Charlene has truly transformed my life. For almost three years, I tried everything (but IVF) to get pregnant, battling constant anxiety and irritability along the way. Then a friend who had seen great results with her for depression suggested I give her a try—it was the best decision I made. Through listening, then lots of testing she discovered that I had PCOS and helped me understand what that meant and we started on some lifestyle changes and therapy quickly. Charlene was fantastic, explaining things in a way that was thorough, easy to understand and never overwhelming. Within just three months of working together, not only did my mood and irritability improve, but to my surprise, I also became pregnant. Now, I'm mommy to a healthy 16-month old girl! I’m so grateful to have been referred to Charlene. She’s made such a positive impact on my and family’s life, and I can’t help but sing her praises to anyone who might be facing similar challenges."-JS

"My most recent visit with Charlene Julien was truly exceptional . I was seeking support for depression and fertility challenges. I experienced numerous undiagnosed symptoms, but Charlene successfully identified and diagnosed me with PCOS. I felt like for the first time a health professional actually cared for my personal well being. I experienced deep connection and comfort as she took her time to listen to my concerns. Charlene’s care not only alleviated my symptoms but also equipped me with invaluable tools for my long-term wellbeing. For those yearning for a haven where compassion meets innovation in holistic healing, Our Hopeful Holistic Healing Center is the ultimate destination for transformative and lasting change. I highly recommend Charlene and I urged everyone to invest in their health with a quality healthcare professional like Charlene."-ODP
