Julie Park, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Julie!

Welcome to the journey for self-exploration and self-growth! It can feel like a big step to start therapy, and I'm looking forward to being part of this journey with you. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered and collaborative approach to therapy.

My focus

I work with all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma who want to process their experiences, learn new coping skills, assert boundaries, and achieve personal goals. I can support you in creating attainable goals that feel meaningful to you.

My approach

I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to help identify negative/unhelpful thought patterns to challenge/reframe with more positive/helpful thoughts. I specialize in using strategies that are trauma-focused, family/relational systems, and mindfulness to address current life stressors.

My communication style

I create a safe, clear, non-judgmental space. I use active listening and reflection to validate and empathize with your experiences. I offer mindful challenges to increase areas for growth and empowerment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to become a provider came from curiosity to learn about how people's lived experiences impact their current lives and how they evolve to become resilient. I've worked in community mental health with children, families, and adults. Through my work, I've observed how the therapeutic work can provide a space for healing.

My goals for you

We'll work as a team to collaborate on goals that foster your self-growth. Goals may be mastered or modified based on what's needed, so I'll check in to make sure they still feel relevant to support your journey.

Our first session

My first session is about us getting to know each other, some background history, and the reason you're seeking therapy. The therapeutic relationship might take time to build, and we'll take it one session at a time. I'll check in to see what works for you so I can make sure it's unique to your needs.
