Great to meet you!

Hello, My name is Julia Smail and I am the owner of Spill The Tea Counseling. I believe we all have feelings & thoughts that are waiting to be expressed. Do you find it challenging transitioning through different parts of your life & managing emotions along the way? How about being able to express yourself & be validated in a safe & trusting space? The challenge in life is finding who you are as a person & not what others want you to be. Building a trusting relationship with yourself can lead to strengthening your identity & developing a sense of self through awareness & mindfulness. Transitions can be challenging but beautiful

I am a neurodivergent-affirming therapist who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. I provide a safe space to express thoughts & feelings, as well as establish tools to support you in your growth. With various techniques & tools practiced, you will be able to feel mentally, emotionally, & physically balanced as you navigate through life's transitions.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership where you are the expert on your own life. My goal is to foster a safe, non-judgmental environment where you feel empowered to lead our sessions and explore your experiences at your own pace.

The modalities I use are individual based which include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ACT, Person-Centered, Mindfulness, Informational Interviewing, and others. Take the next step in your journey and let me help you reach your goals.

What you can expect from me

I believe the first session begins with a deep understanding of your vision. Through thoughtful conversation and information gathering, we identify the key focus areas necessary to reach your goals.
