Therese James, NP
Austin
Nurse Practitioner, an advanced practice degree for primary care providers who complete master’s-level training and board certification and who practice medicine independently. Related degrees include ANP (Adult Nurse Practitioner), FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner), WHNP (Women's Health Nurse Practitioner), and APNP (Advance Practice Nurse Practitioner).
I am in awe of the complexities and differences in everyone's individual body. My goal is to treat each patient in a holistic manner using evidence based medicine. I have spent a lifetime learning and I continue to learn every day of my career of almost 30 years. I love partnering with families to educate them in health and wellness so they can live their best lives.
How I stay healthy and happy
I love to spend my time hiking all over Austin, cooking, gardening and being outdoors. Happiness to me is going on walks with my favorite people (and fur baby) and having adventures with our friends on the lake. Kerbey Lane in Austin is my guilty pleasure after a relaxing morning hike with a side of thrift shopping.
