Julie Amirault, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Julie!

I focus on using DBT skills, Guided Imagery, Meditation, and Mindfulness-Based Therapies to help clients navigate their challenges and build on their strengths.

My focus

I have had success working with adolescents and adults. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I have worked with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-injury, mood disorders, and stress.

My approach

I use a Mindfulness-Based Approach to assisting clients in identifying their strengths, finding balance in their lives, and pursuing both their present and future goals. I believe clients are experts on themselves, and I am fortunate to advocate for them along their journey.

My communication style

I listen to my clients, engage honestly, advocate, and encourage their abilities to know what works best for them. I believe clients are the experts of themselves and intuitively know when something fits or doesn't.

My journey to mental healthcare

My goal in life has been to help serve in the best way possible using my unique strengths. My strengths are engaging, encouraging, understanding, and advocating for others.

My goals for you

I encourage my clients during our first meeting to identify what goals I can help them achieve in our journey together. At the end of each session, I summarize and ask if we have discussed important information in reaching those goals. I encourage taking notes and journaling between sessions.

Our first session

I use an intake form to gather important history, explain the process of therapy, confidentiality, boundaries, approach, and answer any questions. I also ask my client to identify what their goals for therapy are and why they are seeking counseling at this time.
