I am a psychologist working with everyday people with everyday struggles. My philosophy is guided by my unwavering belief in people's ability to achieve their greatest potential & become their true authentic self. I coach people who are feeling down, overwhelmed, anxious, conflicted, coping with change and transitions, making decisions, or struggling with marital or relationship challenges. While many people can manage their problems on their own, the therapeutic process often enables them to reach their goals and decrease symptoms and stress more quickly.

Are you searching to find answers and for some reason, you're not finding the outcomes or resolutions for making your life better? Positive change can be difficult to achieve. Let me be the therapist assisting you through you life's challenging transitions. I can provide counseling that will give you the tools to better navigate through life's dilemmas. I treat adults and adolescents who are struggling through a variety of issues that are problematic for their current life's circumstances. Issues may include depression, anxiety, male and female issues, trauma, substance abuse, sexuality issues, and developmental transitions.

Congratulations! You've taken the first step toward feeling better by reaching out for support. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 26 years of experience. I have successfully helped clients with such issues as stress and anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, & depression. My style of therapy is very upfront, as I have found that being direct with clients (and them being direct as well) has been the most effective way to progress through challenges. At the same time, I work hard to treat everyone with respect and compassion. I also love to laugh, and utilize humor as part of my therapy regularly.

As a therapist, my goal is to blend evidence-based methods with a humanistic and holistic approach, placing a strong emphasis on trauma-informed care and the relationship between Client and Therapist. I believe that each individual’s path is unique, and I am here to provide a welcoming space for you to explore your challenges.

I have over fourteen years of clinical experience initially in a hospital setting so I have a special passion for all things medical, I transitioned into private practice and fell in love with helping clients achieve their best quality of life. In session, I utilize EMDR and find it a huge asset to a client’s healing journey. I also will use a collaborative approach borrowing from several different therapy modalities Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strength-based counseling, solution focused therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) routinely in sessions. I look forward to helping you on your journey to wellness.

As you will note on www.julienagel.net, I work with performance anxiety but also with career decisions, life transitions, depression, general anxiety, and relationship issues. We live in complex times with many unknowns. Many people are finding it difficult to feel secure, self-confident, and productive in their jobs and in meaninful relationships. Anxiety and multiple stressors can interfere with your personal life and professional goals. I empathetically assess your specific concerns and discuss effective treatment options. With a background in music and psychology I appreciate the strengths you bring to understanding yourself better and your courage to reach out and make a phone call for assistance. I look forward to helping you discover your life lessons and to use them to unblock obstacles and enhance self-esteem .

I believe all people have profound inherent worth, and that self-acceptance and compassion are core components of living well. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and other emotional difficulties can cloud our ability to see ourselves as whole, beautiful, functioning people, and I work warmly, respectfully, and joyfully to help my clients get movement in areas where they may feel stuck. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, phobias, grief, and issues related to couples and relationships.

Do you call yourself a people-pleaser or perfectionist? Do you feel like you're never enough? Have you been feeling depressed or do you endure your day with extreme stress, loneliness, and constantly fighting off negative thoughts? You might be dealing with social anxiety, trauma, or depression. You might want relief, yet you may feel tempted to "tough it out." I understand that thought, but your life is worth addressing right now and I'd like to help you do so. You deserve to feel relief, and you deserve a therapist who can help you get there. Whatever you may bring to therapy, if it's important to you, it's important to me.

I believe that most behavioral/ emotional problems have a common origin which is the failure to express true emotions and feelings. Individuals learn early on that which is acceptable and that which is not. As we push away feelings, and deny parts of who we are, these feelings don't simply disappear; instead, they remain hidden, and continue to influence behavior in unpredictable and negative ways. Because of this commonality in most problems, I welcome people who have problems with anxiety, depression,eating disorders, relationship problems, sexual concerns,and addictive behaviors.

At some time or another in life, everyone feels stuck, unable to overcome some problem despite his or her best efforts. Talking therapy can be invaluable in helping one gain new perspectives on oneself . By helping clients see themselves in new, broader, more realistic and more accepting ways, I help them gain the emotional and psychological energy and understanding to make needed changes. I believe I am most helpful to people by listening carefully to what they are saying and by helping them put into words what seems hard to say or even to understand right now.

Life can be hard. Young people face a number of challenges-- family stresses, anxiety about growing older and separating from parents, peer pressure, the lure of substances. As adults, we also face painful stressors-- divorce, for example, losses, aging. We can become stuck, overwhelmed, and confused. In my work with adolescents and adults, I offer an engaged, intensive approach that will allow us to understand how longstanding dysfunctional patterns and beliefs affect your daily life. Specialized training and decades of experience have taught me that the better we understand ourselves, the better we can handle challenges and implement adaptive solutions.

My private practice is strength-based and focused extensively on neuropsychological testing and intervention.

Together we will focus on tangible, on-the-ground results in your life.
