Julia McGrath

You are tired feeling anxious and of not living the life you want. It’s tricky- you know you’re hard on yourself, and that pressure makes change even more difficult. Breathe. You can build a healthy relationship with yourself that helps you move forward. Anxiety and low self-esteem don't have to stop you from experiencing a meaningful and well-lived life. You know worries show up for everyone, but you'd like them to stop dictating what you do. You want to relate to yourself in new and powerful ways. My practice welcomes all identities. I’ll work side-by-side with you from a trauma-informed, social justice and
mindfulness
lens.

Additional presenting issues that I often treat include depression, loss, trauma, or anxiety. These may be episodic manifestations of the symptom, or part of a larger personality, autistic, or adjustment disorder. These clients typically are looking for support and the chance to explore their feelings and experiences in a way that enhances their self-understanding and self-efficacy.

In my integrated practice, I gather data by listening to you tentatively, understanding you with accurate empathy, correcting dysfunctional thinking, integrating
mindfulness
, teaching coping skills, and encouraging healthy expression of difficult emotions.
Too many life stressors may lead to unfocused work and/or frequent "crisis management" interventions. In collaboration, we identify presenting issues, prioritize problems, and clarify treatment goals for positive changes. I offer brief treatment (8-12 sessions) and long-term therapy (6 months+). For brief treatment, the average number of sessions needed is typically 8-12. For complex and persistent issues, more sessions might be needed. By maintaining congruence, genuineness, and unconditional warm regard, I build a trusting and supportive relationship with you.

Are you feeling unsure about what you want for yourself? Has your stress and anxiety become intolerable in a way that’s preventing you from enjoying the present and moving towards your desired future? Do you know what your goals are, but you can’t figure out how to reach them? Are you having trouble liking yourself and offering yourself care and compassion? Many of us hit points where we confront injuries from our past or roadblocks in the present that feel too difficult to face. Sometimes our thoughts and emotions can feel unmanageable, or they cause us to lose confidence in our ability to move forward.
