MHNet Behavioral Health Therapists in Pleasant Hill, CA
Hi there, I'm Julia! My primary goal in life is to help relieve suffering. Suffering can be the result of trauma, loss, relationships, addiction, and so many other things we humans experience. I get it! For the past 30 years, I have helped many people experience better mental health and a higher quality of life. There is no one right way to treat a client. I have many tools in my toolbox. I have found that by listening to my clients' needs I am able to carefully craft an individualized treatment plan that we are both satisfied with. I am strength based, supportive, consistent and non-judgmental.

Therapy is an art, not a science. Since every person is a unique individual, therapy will vary depending on the persons involved. Hence, there can be no one approach to therapy which works for everyone. To facilitate change, different techniques may be used. However, the forging of a therapeutic alliance is essential for change. Research has shown that a successful outcome in therapy depends on this. In humanistic psychology, emphasis is placed on self-actualization. A propensity to self-actualize is presumed to exist in all persons. Karen Horney made the following analogy to illustrate this phenomenon.
