Julie Mahoney Lpc Lmhc

Meet Julie Mahoney, LPC, LMHC About the Practice: A Secure Base, LLC was founded on a simple belief: real change happens through connection first, skills second. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), licensed in Florida and South Carolina, and serving out-of-network nationwide, with over 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families. My work spans outpatient, inpatient, school, in-home, and family-law settings, and I bring a warm, direct, and practical, goal-oriented approach to every session. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, big emotions, parent-child conflict, or a difficult family transition, I'll help you build real understanding — and real tools — for lasting change.

Therapy shouldn't feel like an interrogation. I believe healing happens in an environment of safety, humor, and zero judgment. In our sessions, you are the expert on your life, and I am your collaborative partner. Together, we will look at the patterns keeping you stuck and figure out a realistic path forward. I blend Person-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment Theory. This means we won't just talk about your past; we will actively identify how your history impacts your current relationships and self-esteem. We will unlearn negative self-talk and replace it with self-compassion.

Clients leave my sessions feeling lighter, more validated, and equipped with practical boundaries. You will gain the tools to manage the day-to-day in real-time and the confidence to show up authentically in your daily life.
