Hello, I am Julie Pennington (previously Colfax) LMFT. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with people of all ages, levels of development, abilities, and stages of life. My focus is on you, your goals for yourself, and your family in the therapy space. The majority of the clients I see working to recover from trauma and minimize the impact or development of trauma responses (Acute Stress Disorder or PTSD), dealing with depression (bipolar or unipolar), anxiety, neuro-divergent and differently-abled, wanting to improve emotional management skills or work through substance use and addiction challenges.
While I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical therapy approaches primarily, my background using a wide variety of theories and techniques allows me to fit my style to your strengths and needs. Allowing space for you to be seen and heard is always my first priority.
Additional approaches I use include person-first, client and family-centered therapy, solution-focused, transactional analysis, trauma-informed principles, psycho-educational therapy, energy psychology, integrated care (also known as whole person care), change theory, motivational interviewing, and sensory management techniques.
