Therapy can help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more at ease in your daily life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and attuned to your nervous system. I integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, and nervous system-based approaches to help you process difficult experiences and shift patterns that no longer serve you.

Hello, thank you for coming to my web page, and I want to help you with whatever journey comes our way. I have 8 years of experience, with combined internship and as an LMFT in dealing with anxiety, depression and trauma. Being married, I believe that I can relate when married couples have struggles and they need my help with a tune-up or their restart.
I empower clients to use different ways of thinking to whatever life situations come your way, by giving many different ways to solve problems, and improve communication and strive for assertiveness and self-confidence, and let go of past hurts.
I strive to listen to clients at their lowest lows and highest highs and bring Christian views and values whenever possible.
Hello there, thanks for spending the time to get to know me as a Therapist.
I would like first to welcome you to this interesting journey of getting to know yourself deeply and possibly understand the world around you.
First, I explore you, the problem you are facing, your environment, and your past to understand better what is going on. So, be aware, I will take some time on that. I especially want you to feel heard and understood first, to be in the same page before we move on to the next step. I was told to be very approachable and easy to talk to, even when I point out inconsistencies for us to gain broader insight into your situation.
Over the years of experience, I have learned that each of my clients brings a different theory that needs to be treated case by case. I use several different approaches and orientations, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Bowen Therapy, and Structural Therapy among many others. I have treated adolescents, women, men, couples, and families, and I have been treated at different severity levels. I have been successful in bringing out the best of you once you find your personal goals and place in life.
Overall, I am open to your needs and preferences in treatment plan and interventions, as long as it brings you back to your functioning and high performance.
(LGBTQ affirming) - Do you have big emotions that are really hard to manage, feel drained by unhealthy relationship patterns, navigating a major life change, struggle with triggers and guilt, break up/divorce, or just feeling anxious and overwhelmed by life. When you spend all of your energy managing everyone else's moods or trying to keep your head above water, it's easy to lose sight of who you are. My style is down to earth, engaged, and collaborative (vs just listening and validating you). I will provide you a safe space to share your story, and help you identify the patterns that keep you stuck . Together, we can learn new tools that actually work so that you can reclaim your sense of peace. I try to balance warmth and validation with honest feedback.
As your therapist, I strive to facilitate a connection with you built on trust, safety, and honesty. I utilize empathy and compassion to help my client reach their goals and support them. I have been a therapist for 5 years, working with people of all ages. I utilize all forms of therapy including individual and couples therapy to help you meet your needs as best as possible.

My approach to therapy is eclectic, drawing from various evidence-based modalities such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), mindfulness-based techniques, narrative therapy, and solution-focused approach. I tailor my interventions to your specific needs, working collaboratively with you to determine what works best.
My communication style is caring, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I aim to create a safe space where you feel heard, validated, and supported. Expect me to be an active listener, ask insightful questions, provide compassionate feedback, and empower you with coping skills and strategies for growth.
Hello, I'm Julie Addison. I come to you with 25+ years of mental health experience.
