Julia Smith

When it’s not your fault but it is your responsibility, I’m here to help you make some sense of the chaos that comes with life’s complications. Life has a way of handing us situations we never asked for, and figuring out how to carry them can feel overwhelming and lonely. Having worked across many levels of care with people of all ages, from 4 to 89, I bring a background in crisis support, individual therapy, group therapy, and play therapy. Whatever brought you here, you’ve found a warm, nonjudgmental place to start, and you don’t have to sort through any of it alone.

My approach is person centered, direct, and deeply compassionate, because I firmly believe you are the best expert on yourself. My role is to support you on your journey inward and onward, meeting you right where you are. Each session can look a little different depending on what you need that day, and alongside traditional talk therapy, I can help you learn and put into practice new coping skills as we go.

In our first session, we’ll work together to figure out your unique goals and begin breaking them down into achievable steps. This may take a little time, a lot of getting to know each other, and some real work, and that’s completely okay. One step at a time is a great place to start. If you’re ready, let’s take that first step together.
