Providing compassionate outpatient psychiatry services in Maine via telehealth
"I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.”

Whether you're seeking a medication consult, diagnostic clarification, or simply to understand more about caring for your mental health, I’m here to support your path to wellness. My approach is grounded in compassion and empathy and recognizes the uniqueness of each person’s experience.
The name Eastern Sky Wellness derives from a place of hope — the sun rises in the eastern sky, signaling a new day, new beginnings, and the chance for a fresh start. Reaching out for help is just like that: an opportunity.

FAQ’s
Do you accept insurance?
I accept Aetna, United, Optum, and Anthem/BCBS. For all other carriers, I am out of network, including Maine Care and Medicare. If I’m not in network with your insurance I can provide a receipt for you to submit for possible reimbursement. For those without insurance or who prefer not to use insurance, cash is accepted via most major payment cards or HSA. I offer a sliding scale for those who might need it, please ask.
How do I make an appointment?
To schedule an initial appointment, it’s preferred that you email julia@easternskywellness.com. You may also use the button “Prospective Client Inquiry Form” on this website to fill out a short form with your basic demographics.
Do you offer free phone consults before scheduling?
Yes! All prospective clients have a 20 minute phone consult at no cost or obligation. This allows me to learn a little more about what your seeking and for you to ask me questions. If we determine that it’s a good fit, an appointment will be made at that time.
Do you offer in-office appointments or are you only online?
At this time all visits are online and there is no physical office space. Most of my new clients are preferring the convenience of home/online appointments and do well with this format. Contact me to discuss if online care is appropriate for your needs.
I’m a primary care provider — can you help my practice manage our patients with mental health conditions?
As a primary care provider, your time is truly of the essence these days. Many psychiatric conditions are relatively easily managed by your team, but sometimes medications just don’t seem to work or there are other issues. Getting the diagnosis and treatment right can take a lengthy appointment with ongoing follow-ups; psychiatry just doesn’t fit neatly into a 15 minute appointment. If a medication isn’t working and you’ve tried several and the response is the same, it’s past time to refer out. If you have patients on benzodiazepines and would like help with dose reductions or discontinuation, I can help. For patients on complex psychotropic regimens who don’t have a psychiatric provider, I can often help reduce polypharmacy. I enjoy collaborating with PCPs and am here to help you. Referrals are easy — send a secure fax to my practice at 207-261-4388 with the reason for the request, current medication list, and your patient’s contact info. For more information, please call or email.
