Julie Crist, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Julie!

I am passionate about empowering individuals to thrive in life. Therapy is essential for uncovering and understanding self-destructive behaviors and working through, not around, loss and grief.

My focus

I work with adults and teens specializing in trauma, divorce, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, broken relationships, life transitions, and identity.

My approach

I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, client-centered sense focused on empathy, compassion, and safety to create long-term effective change.

My communication style

I create a warm, safe, and empathic environment where clients can feel heard and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

Over the decades, my life has been touched by many of the same challenges my clients face. By working through my own challenges I learned the value of self-compassion and self-love. I found the courage to dig deep within myself and grow.

My goals for you

Working through unproductive or harmful behaviors and patterns can be difficult and scary. My goal is to support you and provide you with the tools you need to make lasting changes in your life.
