Julia Dee, LPCC

Philosophy of Care

A very warm welcome to you! I am an open-minded and caring Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I emphasize a strength-based philosophy in my therapeutic work by encouraging you to identify and utilize your own unique strengths to help facilitate the healing process. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Ohio University, and an Associate's degree in Juvenile Services from Hocking College. I have several years of therapeutic experience with children, adolescents, adults, and elderly clients in a variety of settings.  

By implementing a cognitive-behavioral approach in therapy together, we will first identify, and then explore how your thoughts and feelings affect you, and then discover how these thoughts and feelings are expressed through your behavior. For change that leads to a more fulfilling, joyful and happy life, I can help you with issues such as, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, LGBTQ issues, grief/loss/bereavement, parenting issues and much more!
