Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)
About Julia
**Please read entire profile before deciding whether to directly request my services.**
Hey there, my name is Julia and I earned my LICSW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) degree 17 years ago in Massachusetts. I specialize in supporting survivors of sexual assault and am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat depression and anxiety. I have experience in helping clients (mainly young adults) with stress, coping with life changes, motivation, self-esteem and confidence.
I want to acknowledge and honor your efforts to reach out for support. I agree that you deserve it and I’m glad you know you don’t have to continue feeling this way. If you’re looking for a genuinely warm, collaborative and highly structured therapist, I may be a great fit for you as you work towards your goals.
A quick overview of CBT- I work with clients to identify negative/unhelpful thoughts that contribute to negative and overwhelming emotions. Together, we will work to unlearn those thoughts and beliefs, and replace them with more reality-based and helpful thoughts and beliefs. Over time, you will feel more in control and experience an improved mood overall.
I carry a lot of hope for my clients and see progress towards their goals especially when they are able to continue the work outside of therapy sessions. Thus, in an effort to set you up for a better week in between our sessions, each time we meet we’ll determine together what action steps will get you closer towards your goals between sessions as well. Additionally, I am available to message between sessions and I will typically follow up with clients within 24 hours.
If you’re ready to partner with a therapist who will be supportive and encouraging during this difficult and important work, I encourage you to schedule a video session so we can begin our work together and you can start feeling better- as you need and deserve.
***I want to note that I do not specialize in treating postpartum depression/anxiety, substance misuse and/or suicidal thoughts. Thus, if you have ever struggled with experiencing any of the above- even if it’s not the main issue of concern- I strongly encourage you to to connect with a therapist who has that area of expertise to provide you with the highest quality support that you deserve. Also, my therapeutic training typically doesn’t align with a handful of sessions that EAP provides. Lastly, I do not provide court-ordered therapy.***
