Taking the first steps to make changes and move towards recovery and growth is often not easy but feeling better matters.

Hello! My name is Julie Hirsch and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT131536). We all tell ourselves stories, and. I see therapy as a place where we examine your story together, imagine new possible narratives, and discover the parts of yourself that are resilient and capable of change.

I work with young adults who are navigating issues of purpose and identity.

People often seek therapy because something in their life is causing them pain and discomfort. I often work with individuals who "from the outside" look like they "have it all together," but on the inside, they feel like they are falling apart. When you permit yourself to ask for help to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, you create more room for yourself. You don't have to hold everything so tightly. My therapeutic approach is warm, active ( I won't just sit and stare at you), and collaborative (therapy requires work and personal responsibility).
