Great to meet you! I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — we take it from there together. My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different. My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room. I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change. When you work with me, you get someone who shows up fully — present, steady, honest, and genuinely invested in your well‐being. I’m not here to give you quick fixes or surface‐level advice. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, heal what’s been ignored or pushed aside, and build a life that feels more grounded and true to who you are. My style is warm, direct, and deeply human. I listen for the things underneath your words — the patterns, the pain points, the strengths you might not yet see. I’ll challenge you gently, support you consistently, and help you make sense of what’s been getting in the way.

Hello I am Dr. Bolling and I would like to be your therapist. My favorite client is someone that doesn't believe change may be possible for them. I work with professional individuals that have demanding successful lives and alcohol and/or substance use may have become a concern that they want to decrease or stop completely. I work from a Strengths Based Harm Reduction therapeutic model which incorporates CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to explore the pros and cons associated with the decision to make changes on your timeframe from your perspective. I work with individuals, couples and families to improve communication and understanding through the use of the Open Dialogue clinical approach.

Hi! My name is Julien, and I am passionate about helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem insecurities, and a history of trauma. You might have been noticing that something hasn't been feeling right for you. You want more than just getting by and to understand why you feel the way you do. Growing up as an Asian American often felt like I had to figure things out on my own and not ask for help. If you have felt similar, then reaching out for therapy might feel like going against everything you were raised to believe, and that's okay. Let me help carry some of that weight.
