Julie James, a devoted Licensed Professional Counselor, believes in the intrinsic relational nature of humans. Understanding that individuals are wired for love and acceptance, she recognizes that the imperfections of human interactions can sometimes lead to emotional pain caused by unmet needs. These experiences often manifest as unproductive patterns in relationships, negative behaviors, and a general sense of feeling stuck. Julie's goal in counseling is to help clients heal from past traumas and process how those experiences impact their present choices and relationships. By guiding them to release the hurt, anger, guilt, and shame of the past, she opens the door for them to feel and express love more freely. With extensive experience in supporting adults, families, and couples facing various life challenges—such as unresolved childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship hurt, betrayal, miscommunication, grief, and abuse—Julie crafts her therapy approach to include modalities like Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Trauma-Focused techniques. Julie prioritizes creating a safe and trusting space for her clients, encouraging an atmosphere where they can truly feel known. Her mission is to facilitate freedom from overwhelming emotions and help individuals to become the best versions of themselves. Additionally, she offers board-approved supervision services for LPC-Associates pursuing full licensure.
