Connect with Julie Giroux
I offer an individualized approach to adapting & growing with life challenges. I help people with issues such as: traumatic experiences and loss, relationship issues, anxiety, insomnia, & chronic stress. I love working with people to develop their own internal resources, gain new skills, develop curiosity, insight and clarity, and explore new ways of seeing and being at times of difficulty and transition in their lives. I also have experience providing counselling for other health professionals and first responders. I know how hard it can be to take the time and find ways to care for ourselves.
I have advanced training in a variety of therapies, particularly for processing stressful or traumatic experiences: Deep Brain Reorienting, Attachment-Focused EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Reconsolidation Therapy, and Psychedelic Integration. I integrate these approaches based on each individual's needs.
It can take some work to find a therapist who is the right fit. If you'd like to know more, my website provides further details on how I work and my current availability for new clients. I prioritize your privacy and confidentiality. For the most secure way to contact me, please use the 'My website' button to access my secure contact form.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
MBSR is an intensive 8-week group program in mindfulness meditation. Sessions include training in meditation, yoga & applying mindfulness to stressful situations in daily life. In over 45 years of research & practice MBSR has demonstrated effectiveness in alleviating symptoms of a wide range of health conditions. Julie completed MBSR certification at the University of Massachusetts starting in 2010, training with Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn. Julie taught MBSR in an outpatient hospital program in Toronto for 7+ years. She is currently in the planning stages for offering an online MBSR group program & would be happy to hear from you.
