Julie Bork, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Julie!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Art Therapist. I am based in Los Angeles, California, where I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, supporting your process through talking, art making, breath work, somatic experiencing, or just listening.

My focus

I work with anxiety, depression, grief, sexual trauma, women's issues, relationship issues, low self-esteem, addiction, and codependency.

My approach

I have an eclectic approach to therapy, which varies based on my clients' needs. I consider myself to be a Person-Centered therapist, but I use an array of modalities such as Mindfulness, Gestalt, and Somatic Experiencing, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As an art therapist, I believe there are many ways to explore and express oneself.

My communication style

I bring a warm and conversational tone to my sessions. I intend to create a safe space through compassion, understanding, and acceptance.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to become a therapist because I believe that embarking on a therapeutic journey is a spiritual experience. To better yourself, know yourself, and find yourself is sacred work. I find that supporting people in this way is deeply fulfilling.

My goals for you

I will ask you what your goals are and support you in fine-tuning anything that seems unclear. We can work together collaboratively to identify steps that will help you reach those goals.

Our first session

Our first session will be about building a connection. I will ask you about what brings you into therapy, what your goals for therapy are, and begin to get a basic history of who you are and what your life experience has been.
