Julie Adkins

My communication style

I am a flexible and down-to-earth therapist who is willing to change my style when necessary to fit each of my clients needs. I use humor and irreverence when appropriate to facilitate conversation and add real-world language to therapy sessions. I do have direct boundaries with all clients to ensure safety and a supportive therapeutic environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for Social Work has grown through my education. Once I started, I hit the ground running and didn’t stop until I finished my degrees. I started in a Hospital System where I gained LCSW licensure and served a versatile client base. I gained a unique experience that ensures I am a versatile therapist who can cast a wide net for my clients.

My goals for you

In therapy sessions with me, we will discuss goals for therapy and life regularly to ensure we are on the same page. We will also build up and develop advanced coping skills in sessions. Fine-tuning coping skills helps clients to understand how to best handle difficult emotions, relationships, or situations.

Our first session

Clients should expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can share at whichever pace they choose. We will go over an overview of expectations for sessions and limits to confidentiality as identified by state laws. Clients will be asked about interpersonal life, impactful events from the past, and any other present concerns.
