Julie Shuford, LPC-A, BCN

My approach is active, compassionate, and collaborative. I don’t just sit back and listen—I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer honest reflections, and help you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I draw from evidence-based approaches like EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, and trauma-informed therapies that support healing from past experiences in a safe and manageable way.

My therapeutic style is direct, inquisitive, and compassionate. This means I am active in the therapeutic process—providing clear feedback, asking thoughtful questions, and helping you examine patterns that may be shaping your current emotional experience. I approach each session with a blend of curiosity and respect, creating a safe environment.I firmly believe in the opportunity for every person and family to heal. Building a solid therapeutic relationship with trust, compassion, and respect for one another is essential in my work. I enjoy helping others and would love the opportunity to work with you!
