Julie Hirsch

My communication style

I build supportive, trusting connections and approach our work collaboratively. You'll experience unconditional positive regard and feel like a true partner. I'm active in sessions, offering exercises, feedback, and questions to help you dig deeper or see things differently. My style is gentle but direct, caring and compassionate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always felt called to serve others. After working in public mental health for many years, I earned my degree in Clinical Psychology and fell in love with being a therapist. I feel privileged to witness my clients' resilience and growth.

My goals for you

Some clients are clear on their goals when they begin, while others just know something is wrong. I support you in identifying overarching goals for therapy, along with mini-goals we might set at the end of each session for the week ahead.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know each other and establishing a space where you feel safe and respected. We'll discuss what has worked for you in the past and what you hope to gain. I'll gather your history to understand your symptoms, strengths, and needs, and we'll begin identifying your therapeutic goals.

I identify as...

• Female, Cis
