There has to be an easier way to get through life. Anxiety, depression and constant stress can't be how everyone else feels all the time. You talk to your girlfriends, and they’re a great support but that relief never lasts. You feel like you’re running in circles trying this tip and that. You wonder if you might be broken. You’re ready for things to change - actually change - this time. You’re ready to get out of survival mode and let go of anxiety and insecurity. Most of all, you’re ready for your life to feel peaceful and authentic.

As we venture through life, sometimes we find that the expectations we set for ourselves, our partners, and the future are constantly changing. My hope is to ease you through life’s transitions while enriching the relationships you have. I believe therapy should be a safe, non-judgmental, and nurturing place to put down the weights and ease into meaningful conversations. I enjoy working together with clients to identify their strengths, explore ways to reconnect with themselves and others to move forward in ways that feel genuine.

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.)

As you are reading this, you have probably decided something in your life needs to change. I most enjoy working with people on life transitions and identity with an emphasis on personality structure. In other words, why we do the things we do. I also use the Enneagram Personality typing system for those who are interested.

I'm naturally interested in how people experience their lives and how they achieve self fulfilment and secure happy family and personal relationships. What I do is help people realize their goals by finding out what they want and need out of life, and then work with them to solve the parts of their lives that cause them frustration or pain. My approach helps individuals and couples problem solve and identify what is blocking them from creating a great relationship or what is stopping them from moving on with their lives after a crisis, loss or divorce.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
