Julie Lacey

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.

For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and the founder of Mindful Balance & Wellness. I provide evidence-based psychiatric care while incorporating an integrative approach that considers the connection between mental health, lifestyle, and overall well-being.

I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. I’m particularly interested in how factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and hormonal changes can impact mental health, and I continue to expand my training in integrative and functional psychiatry to better support my patients.

I take time to listen and understand your full story, not just your symptoms. My goal is to create a personalized plan that helps you feel better, function better, and regain a sense of balance in your life.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Philadelphia, PA

Searching for OCD therapists in Philadelphia starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not just someone who lists it as one of many specialties. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a commonly used therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists have training in it. If you are looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, avoidance, or related stress, review therapist bios for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and OCD-specific experience.

Philadelphia has a large mental health care market, from Center City and University City to South Philly, Fishtown, and Northwest Philly. A wide set of options can make it harder to compare fit, so look beyond location and specialty. Consider whether a therapist offers in-person or virtual appointments, has availability that fits your schedule, is accepting new patients, and offers a free phone consultation. Therapist profiles can also show whether their OCD experience reflects focused ERP training or more general familiarity with anxiety and OCD concerns.

Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search OCD therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare availability, review bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can find a therapist who matches your needs and book directly when you are ready.
