I'm trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), which is an evidence based therapy model for children and teens who have a history of trauma.
Hi there, I'm Julie and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with kids, teens, and their families who went through a traumatic experience and are struggling with its aftermath. If you've experienced something scary, sad, or stressful, it's normal to have a lot of strong emotions that you may not know how to handle. Anxiety, fear, and anger might make you feel like there's something wrong with you or that you're out of control. If you're a kid or teen who wants help after going through a traumatic event, or if you're a parent seeking support for your child, know that there's hope!

I utilize a trauma focused approach (ACEs and CUTS).
As a therapist, I view the process as a partnership (collaboration) between the client and myself to establish the most appropriate and effective form of treatment. My approach to therapy is an eclectic one. There is no one size fits all. As the client and I begin to work together the most effective treatment modality will reveal its self and will guide the treatment planning process.

I love working with people who are inquisitive and are interested in knowing themselves better. With over a decade of experience providing mental health treatment in New York I have found that therapy works best with a dose of humor and curiosity. As a therapist my goal is to build a connection that is warm, nonjudgemental, and deeply attuned. I find that only then do my clients feel comfortable exploring the difficult issues (i.e. "the shit") that brought them to therapy to begin with, because a little light helps everyone be less afraid of the dark.
