  Julie Swearingen, Ph.D.

  Clinical Psychologist

  Dr. Julie is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and received her Master’s and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland.  She was active duty for over 11 years, and during that time her training, work and personal experiences gave her the opportunity to see the gamut of consequences military life can have on military members and their families.  After leaving active duty to focus on her own family in 2006, Dr. Julie joined the Operation Homefront/WWW team to continue to use her skills and experiences to help our country’s heroes.
