Grounded Pathways Counseling LLC

I’m Julia, a licensed clinical social worker with 10+ years experience. I believe therapy is a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I work with adults (18+) providing individual and couples therapy. My work focuses on anxiety and stress management, communication skills, personal identity, relationship building, sexuality, life transitions, traumatic experiences, and goal setting. I bring in an understanding of the somatic (body based) experience and the relationship between the mind and body in our health and healing. I am a gender affirming, sex /sexuality positive, body positive provider who uses a variety of client centered approaches in my work. As a licensed clinical social worker, I hold master’s degrees in both social work and holistic health studies. I am trained in Emotional Focused Therapy, AIR Network/Anchored Relational Therapy, Advanced Mind-Body Medicine, IFS basics, and Domestic and Sexual Violence Advocacy. I have done research on mindfulness skills around traumatic healing and am a certified yoga instructor. I understand that reaching out to a therapist can be daunting and I am committed to making the process as comfortable and accessible as I can.
