Hello, my name is Julia Richardson. I am a Marriage Family Therapist, licensed for 25 years in California. I offer my services to adults, couples and parents and children over the age of 12. I grew up in California and went to the University of San Francisco for my Masters in Counseling/Psychology. I help people who are on a path of discovery about themselves.
At our first meeting, my focus is to have you experience a secure and safe attachment with me as you share your desired goals for therapy. Together, we will build a plan that will include specific interventions to help you experience life with less rigidity/ chaos and more flexibility. I will teach you about the wonderful capacity of your mind and how it can facilitate emotional stability and well being.
I offer my passion, training and experience in working with neurodivergent children and adults. I love to provide parent support to parents and parenting skills to help the developing mind. I also off my relational lens in working with couples who are trying to find their way back to each other after a disconnect.
I have worked over the years with many age groups. I have a special place in my heart for anyone seeking to better understand their relationship within and between themselves and the world. I use a mind sight lens of Interpersonal Neurobiology to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, compulsive thinking, attention challenges, parenting and other life challenges that can cause to one to feel either suck or overwhelmed.
Becoming aware of your patterns of attention/focus is the first step to know you can shift your awareness to a more flexible, adaptable, responsive state to all of what life brings.
