Julie Witte-Landau, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Julie!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in a collaborative, strengths-based approach. I support clients in identifying their goals, developing practical skills, and creating positive, empowering change in their lives.

My focus

If you’re facing intense anxiety, persistent self-doubt, grief, or the emotional weight of major life transitions, you don't have to navigate it alone. I provide specialized support for young adults and adults in transition.

My approach

I utilize a person-centered approach that draws from motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and both attachment and systemic perspectives. I also integrate appropriate humor to help create a safe, genuine, and human therapeutic experience.

My communication style

My communication style is open and direct. I use consistent validation of my client’s experiences. I value transparent communication and take a straightforward approach to support insight, clarity, and effective progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’ve always been a people person, driven by a deep curiosity about individuals, their families, and their life experiences. I’m continually inspired by the resilience people carry-even in their most challenging moments. Supporting healing and meaningful change, one person at a time, is at the heart of my work.

My goals for you

I look forward to supporting you in creating meaningful change and personal growth through the development of realistic, attainable goals. Your progress is my highest priority. As you move forward, we will collaboratively and flexibly update your treatment plan to ensure it continues to reflect your needs and therapeutic goals.

Our first session

Our first session will serve as a meet-and-greet, giving us an opportunity to get to know one another and explore what brings you to therapy. Building trust is an essential part of the therapeutic process, and we will move at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you.
