Our approach

At Deep Waters Psychiatry & Wellness, we believe that there is always hope, regardless of diagnosis or past experiences. Your story is not defined by what you’ve been through—it is shaped by the choices and healing that lie ahead. Our approach is grounded in the belief that true mental wellness requires understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms. We look closely at the root contributors to emotional distress—biological imbalances, psychological patterns, life experiences, stress, trauma, and the environment you live in. We value every tool that modern psychiatry offers. Functional and integrative strategies, laboratory-guided care, lifestyle interventions, therapy skills, and medication—all have a place. Our role is to help you find the most appropriate and effective combination for You. Our goal is simple: to support your healing so you can thrive, reconnect with your strengths, and live with meaning, purpose, and joy. We believe that every person deserves the chance to feel well, to belong, and to move toward the life they envision.

Meet the Provider

Julia Belova-Ross, PMHNP-BC

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in consult-liaison psychiatry, caring for individuals hospitalized with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, and psychotic disorders. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent more than 12 years working as a critical care nurse in high-acuity medical and trauma environments—experience that profoundly shapes the way I practice today. Through years of caring for patients whose emotional distress was intertwined with medical complexity, I learned that mental health is never separate from the body. My own personal experiences have reinforced this truth and continue to guide the way I approach healing. True wellness requires understanding the whole person—their biology, history, lived experiences, emotional patterns, trauma, environment, and the story beneath the symptoms. This perspective forms the foundation of my approach, which blends functional psychiatry with evidence-based medication management. I look beyond the diagnosis to explore the underlying contributors to distress. Biological imbalances, inflammatory processes, sleep disruption, nutritional factors, hormonal influences, chronic stress, and psychosocial or environmental stressors all play important roles and deserve thoughtful attention. Although I do not provide long-term psychotherapy, I integrate supportive therapy and elements of CBT and DBT into each appointment. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, regulate your nervous system, and move toward a meaningful, healthy, and joyful life. I operate a small, intentionally limited practice with no additional staff. This allows me to maintain a high level of personalized care—every question, concern, and communication is addressed directly by me. I want patients to feel that their provider is truly accessible, consistent, and invested in their well-being. My aim is to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, supported, and guided through each step of your healing.
