LCSW, 8 years of experience
Hello, my name is Julie Phillips and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe in supporting each other and one way I can support you is through therapy. Whether you need to process a stressful event or need to vent I am here to support you. I strive to tailor your session to meet your needs. Some sessions may need to be more strictly focused with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, while other sessions are spent on learning a new coping skill such as mindfulness. Your session is about you and what may help you the most to resolve what issues you may have and to help you find your strength and empower you to keep moving forward. My aim is to make you, the client, feel comfortable in a judgement free zone. I want you to feel like you came to the right place, a warm inviting, calm, and empowering space where you can share what you feel you need to share.
The first session is about building rapport, connection, and helping me understand what brings you to therapy. It will include me asking questions so that I know the best way to help you. It will also include you being able to ask questions to clarify whatever you may need.

I work with clients who are ready to come to therapy to learn how to live their best life. Maybe you have recognized feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, or have had trauma in the past and you are finally in a place in your life that you are ready to gain tools to help reduce the symptoms of anxiety, depression or grief. You are ready to increase your esteem and confidence or ready to work through the trauma so it no longer has a hold on you. I can help you and support you on this journey.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the bases for the structure of the session. What is thought effects the behavior and actions. Often thoughts that are negative or repetitive are not true statements. In the session we will look at these and work on making all thoughts true.
I am a Christian and if you are as well, including this in our session could enhance the session and your mental health.
Attachment is what your relationship was like with your parents, as a child. The type of attachment that occurred effects your interactions with relationships now. It can be very helpful to understand what your attachment style is.
If you find yourself struggling with low self-esteem or confidence, compassion focused therapy might be what you need. This type of therapy focuses on your self-talk, self-care, and self-respect.
Have you lost someone that you deeply care about? Have you lost a relationship? Grief therapy is useful in helping you if someone you love has died, or a relationship has ended or other type of deep loss.

Julie was eager to help and very warm. She allowed me to be myself and didn't push me to answer any questions a specific way, but instead encouraged me to really be in tune with myself and answer honestly. I look forward to my future sessions!

I have never really had anybody I can talk to. She made this possible. Her patience and caring demeanor are exactly what I need. Would recommend highly
