Julia Palomares

My communication style

I am warm and friendly. I love using humor when appropriate in the therapy environment. I believe healthy humor can be incredibly positive and can help create safe connections. I am honest and find ways to gently present feedback in a way that is straightforward and kind.

My journey to mental healthcare

I lost a loved one at a young age and this shaped how I view the world. I wanted to better understand the human experience and help people in their journey to a happier and healthier life. Helping others increase their insight into themselves empowers them to take control over their lives.

My goals for you

My clients are in control of their goals. They are the experts in their lives. My role is to come alongside them and help them identify what their goals are and what life would look like if they felt more happy and fulfilled. I help them translate this vision into tangible, achievable, and incremental goals.

Our first session

I want to hear a general overview of what brought you to therapy and what it is about this time in your life that made now the right time. I take time to understand your expectations and what you are wanting to gain from therapy. I share my approach and provide psychoeducation on the therapy process. I also give you a chance to get to know me.
