Women's Issues Therapists in Harvey, IL
While life is constantly changing, we are too — evolving, growing, and sometimes struggling to keep up. In a world that often tells us who we should be, it can be hard to explore who we really are. Therapy can be a space to feel seen, not just for who you are now, but for who you're becoming. I work with young adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, ADHD, life transitions, shifting family dynamics, anger, and self-esteem. I value diversity and believe our identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences shape how we move and heal. You are worthy of support, capable of growth, and are more than enough.

My goal as a therapist is to foster freedom and fulfillment and be an honest companion for part of your journey. I love people and their stories. Nothing is too strange, too dark, or too “insignificant.” Stigma, shame, fear, and minimizing keep people trapped in dark places. Helping you get out of those places is my goal. I enjoy working with children and adolescents, as well as adults. I am most knowledgeable in anxiety, trauma, OCD, phobias, sexual trauma, abusive dynamics, self-injury, substance use, and the rural American experience. I specialize in what others may have called "weird" and "illogical" responses to stressors.

Seeking support can feel unfamiliar and even intimidating. My clinical focus includes working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma-related concerns, grief, and challenges related to life transitions. With a warm, relational approach, I create a supportive space for exploring challenges, building insight, and making meaningful life changes. Roots + Rise Therapy is grounded in the belief that growth begins by rooting down, healing deeply, and rising into who you want to be.

Hi! I'm Julia. I love to work with clients in their 20s, 30s, and beyond who appear successful and capable, yet feel stuck in dating, career, or next steps in life.
Additionally, a passion of mine is working with women who find themselves stuck in a negative cycle with disordered eating behaviors, or who have a history of receiving care for an eating disorder.
Often times, to integrate these passions, I see many women who identify as struggling with both relationships and/or career in addition to concerns related to food and body.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
