Hey there! I'm Julie Barnes, a licensed professional counselor passionate about helping you thrive from a holistic wellness perspective. Utilizing approaches like person-centered, existential, and trauma-informed care, I'm all about helping you discover your inner strengths and achieve a fulfilling life. Let's connect and start your journey to a healthier, happier you!
I view people through a healthy strivings lens. This means that I look for the healthy motivations that underlie even the most unhealthy behaviors, and I always find them. We then will work with those healthy strivings to find healthier and happier ways to live.
In therapy, I will learn about you first, then help you to create goals that are important to you. I will listen to you and reflect back to you the answers that you already have inside yourself. I will support you and empower you to become the person you want to be.
Clients should expect to feel accepted, encouraged and genuinely cared for in a session with me. Therapy is my passion and I am here to accept you as you are. We will work together to identify what goals feel most important to you and creatively explore ways to achieve them.
