Julia Powers, MA, MSN, CNS, FNP-BC
I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 40 years experience in Nursing. I began my career working in Emergency Rooms and Critical Care Units. After several years I obtained my Masters degree in Nursing and became a Clinical Research Coordinator, conducting clinical drug trials for 18 years. The research focus was on the development of new psychiatric medications. During those 18 years I obtained an advanced degree in clinical psychology. I then transitioned into Family Medicine, practicing both in the hospital and in a retail health clinic setting.
I became interested in Addiction Medicine several years ago and completed the training to become a Medication Assisted Treatment provider. I joined Mayrx at its inception in 2020 and have been providing MAT services both locally and in several states throughout the United States.
I enjoy the outdoors and living in the mountains of North Carolina has been a perfect choice for my husband and I. We enjoy hiking, weight lifting, antique hunting and long walks with our two Australian Shepherds.
