Positive Psychology Therapists in Glenside, PA

Hi! I'm Julia. I specialize and am certified in perinatal mental health. I work with clients through the unpredictability of trying to start a family, including adoption and fertility issues. I support families who are facing the pain of pregnancy loss, or dealing with the aftermath of birth trauma. I treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders that arise during pregnancy and/or the postpartum period. I provide a skilled perspective to help clients learn how to ride the waves of this delicate and vulnerable time.

Hi and welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of self-improvement. Change is hard but I am here to help you along in the process of change. I am passionate about finding the way for people struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use concerns and trauma. I use a strengths-based approach and am grounded in the person-centered, unconditional positive regard for every person I work with. I believe that everyone has the ability to shift their thinking, change their negative patterns and empower themselves as experts in their own lives.

I am currently full and not accepting new clients. Do you feel anxious, depressed, confused or in need of guidance and support? Trusting the uniqueness of each person, I will help you build upon your strengths and find solutions that work for you. I believe that creative souls and those who view the world in unique ways, need a safe place to express what's in their hearts and feel taken care of and listened to, in addition to being able to trust the expertise of the helper.

You and I work together as a team to identify the patterns that are affecting your life, and build the knowledge and skills to allow you to live a satisfying life. I am flexible in how I approach treatment, as I will integrate various therapy practices and approaches in order to best fit your needs. I work to create a safe enviornment where client's can grow and learn through their struggles.

Therapy can seem daunting and overwhelming if you have not experienced it or had a negative experience in the past. The most important part of therapy is establishing a trusting relationship with your therapist that allows you to feel comfortable, heard, and validated. In therapy (and in life), I take a strengths-based, growth stance. I truly believe you are doing your best AND you have room to grow. My place in the therapy room is to take the journey with you. I love helping adolescents and emerging adults with their identity exploration and helping them to be true and authentic to who they are (however that may apply to them).

I believe everyone holds the key to access their most genuine, authentic self. Navigating through this thing called life can be complicated and challenging. Working together, I aim to provide a safe space to explore your inner strengths and capture internal resources. Through my experience working with anger, anxiety, and depression, I've learned that the strongest factor in therapy is the collaborative relationship. Together, we can address the issues you identify as problematic in your life. I promise to provide a therapeutic space that allows you to reclaim your strengths and propel you towards your self chosen path.
