Howdy!
My name is Julia and I am an LICSW licensed in Massachusetts. My areas of expertise are attachment related issues, trauma/PTSD, self esteem, and addiction. I am a musician, artist, animal and outdoor enthusiast, and an avid gamer who thinks it can be immensely rewarding to connect our fantasy worlds with our inner worlds. I believe in holistic approaches, treating you like a human being, and being your life guide. I am a strong believer that everybody is an expert of their own journey and I am here to help you help yourself. I take on a direct but empathic support style. Even reading this description means you've taken an incredibly brave step towards your true self and I am proud of you for that.
I generally schedule for 45 minute sessions as I believe giving you ample time to be heard is important. Please let me know if you would prefer a text session or video before the session. I do ask that that for new clients, the FIRST session be on video as it is important to meet my clients face-to-virtual-face to kick off the process.
Please allow 24 hours for me to respond to messages. I am unavailable on the weekends as boundaries and work/life balance are important, but if you are in urgent need of support or in crisis, please call 911, call or text 988, or text MHA to 741741 to connect with a trained Crisis Counselor from Crisis Text Line.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
