Julie Matsunaga is a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Counselor Educator and Supervisor, and a Trauma Therapist who focuses on working with teens and adults.

As your therapist, I collaborate with you to explore your feelings and thoughts while tapping into your inner resources as the expert in your own life.  Existential therapy focuses on free will, self-determination, and the search for meaning—often centering on the individual rather than their symptoms.

Existential therapist Viktor Frankl said, "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”. Let’s create the change that allows you to step into living the life you’ve always imagined.
