Julie Ullery

Hi, I'm Julie!

I’m an intuitive thinker with a passion for mental health. I use research-backed therapeutic approaches that promote lasting change in my clients’ ways of living without requiring years of psychotherapy.

Whether your desire is to achieve specific goals, experience relief from current crises or challenges, make an important life decision, or navigate deeper healing, I’d love to help you find your way.

I’ve been licensed as an MFT in the state of California since 2013. My private practice work has included individual and group counseling, couples therapy, and educational psychology.

Credentials:

• California Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT53026.
• MA in Counseling Psychology from University of Santa Monica
• Beck Institute-trained clinician working towards CBT certification
• EMDR Institute-trained clinician working towards EMDRIA certification
• EMDRIA member
• CAMFT member

The human psyche has an innate drive towards repair and recovery, much like the human body. Just as a cut on your finger naturally closes and heals when it’s kept clean and protected, our minds and hearts, too, have a natural capacity for healing when given the right conditions.

This concept is the foundation of my therapeutic approach, and the starting point for my work with clients. I’ll begin by getting to know you and your history, motivations, challenges, values, and goals. From there, I’ll blend evidence-based treatment methods to help you develop and practice tools, resources, and coping strategies for fully-integrated mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

The goal is NOT to need endless years of therapy; the goal is to create a structure that can serve and sustain you outside of and beyond our sessions.

I can’t wait to learn more about you!

We'll discuss what's bringing you in to therapy, your history, what you hope to gain by seeing a therapist. From there, I'll provide any immediately-needed resources and talk about next steps for our work together.
