Julie Ackerman

Are you struggling with a recent medical diagnosis, the loss of a loved one, or going through a divorce? Do you find yourself constantly worrying about your future and wondering if you will ever feel like yourself again? You're not alone. Many people going through unexpected life changes wonder if they can ever be happy again. My specialization is working with individuals who have been diagnosed with a chronic and/or terminal illness and are striving to adapt to their new normal.

I work within a cognitive behavioral framework, which means I believe that your thoughts have a direct impact on your feelings and behaviors. I specialize in helping clients identify and take control of the things they can change while also developing effective coping skills to manage things that are beyond their control.

I believe in quickly building trust with clients through authenticity. I actively engage in the therapeutic relationship, providing direct feedback, validation, and necessary challenges. If you are ready to live more fully, even in the midst of pain, chaos, or change, now is the time to try something new. Please reach out today and start thriving.
