Julie Howard, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Julie!

I work with individuals, families, and loved ones navigating life's challenges. I bring experience supporting people through difficult transitions, crises, and personal growth. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and supported as we work together toward meaningful change.

My focus

Ms. Howard discovered benefits in community collaboration. Her therapeutic approach is not limited to Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Family Systems. We are all in this thing we call life together. Nobody is free of suffering, but maybe the suffering is more bearable when we have a safe place with people by our side.

My approach

Through her professional journey, Ms. Howard has worked with a variety of age ranges, from adolescents who are experiencing a crisis or are having trouble in their life journey to adults.

My communication style

You can expect a relaxed and relatable conversational style when working with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

My professional path has shown me the value of meeting people where they are. I've learned that healing happens in relationship, and I'm committed to walking alongside you with compassion and authenticity as you navigate your own journey.

My goals for you

Setting treatment goals, such as increasing emotional regulation. Goals are curated from a collaborative approach, which is done in our first session. The treatment goals can be adjusted as you progress or as life happens.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. Together we'll identify your goals and create a treatment plan that feels right for you. This is your space to share openly, ask questions, and begin building a foundation for our work together.
