Julia Hollowell, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Julia!

I work with children, teens, parents, and families navigating mental health challenges. My goal is to guide you in building self-awareness through evidence-based approaches and personalized care that helps you find balance.

My focus

I have a special interest in working with the whole family and clients in the Autism community. I enjoy working through challenging behaviors and understanding what's behind them. I'm comfortable addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, coming out, grief, emotional regulation, parenting, relationship distress, and social skills deficits.

My approach

My approach is strength-based and client-centered, recognizing that therapy is no one-size-fits-all. I believe collaboration, laughter, trust, and authenticity are essential to building a strong therapeutic relationship. I utilize Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness.

My communication style

My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and judgment-free space where you can truly be yourself. I bring my authentic self to sessions and keep it real while helping you build self-awareness, acknowledge strengths, and learn tools to navigate life's ebbs and flows. I welcome feedback if something doesn't resonate.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in becoming a therapist started early in life. My dedication to this field comes from a deep commitment to empower others, foster healing, and inspire lasting positive change. I feel honored to be part of each journey and am constantly amazed by the human capacity to endure and grow.

My goals for you

Together, we'll identify the most important areas to focus on. I'll provide support, encouragement, and accountability to help you reach your goals. Sometimes there's a clear goal in mind, and other times it takes time to uncover a meaningful focus. Goals can evolve or shift during therapy, with new ones emerging as you grow.

Our first session

You can expect a warm, friendly, and judgment-free space where you can feel safe to talk about your concerns. We'll chat about what brought you to therapy, past experiences, and goals you'd like to work on. I'll ask questions to get to know your background and determine whether I'm the right fit.
