Welcome to Kathrens Counseling Services... I'm Julie! As a clinician I like to take a relaxed, person-centered approach. It is not my goal to rush clients into progress, but to help them find strategies to create lasting and positive change in their lives. I've found that psychoeducation is foundational to clients making progress in counseling because the more a person understands their own experiences, the better they can address their concerns. As we move forward, I will work with you to identify your strengths and values to create customized self-care and strategies so you can achieve your wellness goals! (Ages 13 and up.)

My lived experience and training merge to create a helpful skillset that has a positive impact on my work. The clients who most benefit from my style of work are people who want to work through family dynamics: past, present, and future. They are wanting to understand deeply who they are by exploring their beliefs and patterns of behavior, in order to choose consciously how they want to move forward in their life. My work has had a particularly positive impact on neurodivergent people.

Positive Psychology Therapists
How does positive psychology therapy work?
Positive psychology therapy derives from the work of Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania. He and others developed the field of positive psychology building on humanistic theory. Positive psychology therapy is similar to acceptance and commitment therapy, and it essentially quiets emotional distress through positivity, contentment, and well-being. This therapy does not reduce the individual to symptoms and conditions.
When do I know if I need treatment using positive psychology?
If an individual is overwhelmed by emotional distress and general negativity, they may feel trapped. A positive psychology therapist can help them view their emotions and behaviors differently, and approach life with a better understanding of their positive strengths. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from positive psychology therapy?
The patient may be asked to explore their signature strengths. The therapist will also ask the individual to talk about their goals, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Discussing negative experiences and symptoms is important, but so is the exploration of positive experiences. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more positive and fulfilling way. This therapy is proactive and may use forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and compassion to help reframe negativity.
Is positive psychology effective in therapy?
Positive psychology therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with eating disorders benefit from this type of intervention. This therapy encourages the person to reframe their distressed thoughts and move into healthier patterns of functioning. This therapy also aims to move an individual toward what works well in their life. Positive psychology therapy can elicit lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
