Julia Smith

My communication style

I understand the importance of cultivating a trusting climate, which means incorporating respect, empathy, genuine care, and collaboration into my communication style. I am interactive and meet clients where they are in addressing their purpose for therapy and in guiding the direction taken to reach their goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being a Clinical Counselor is the ideal blend of my interest in psychology and putting into practice the value I place on relationships for well-being and development. I continue to provide psychotherapy because I see the beneficial results it brings and I appreciate all I have gained from doing this work.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process that is guided by client's needs and purpose for seeking therapy.

Our first session

The first session covers questions to understand what brings clients to therapy, provides basic information about the sessions, and determines what they would like to accomplish. It also provides the opportunity for clients to ask questions and participate in clarifying their therapy goals.
