Julia Peterson, LCSW
Clinical Therapist
Life comes with all kinds of challenges and you do not need to navigate them alone. I offer a safe space for you to be heard, validated, and understood with the challenges and circumstances that you are facing. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relational issues, trauma, eating disorders, and faith transitions. I believe that you are the expert of your own life and as a therapist, I am here to advocate and support you in any way that I can to help you in meeting the goals to create the life that you envision for yourself.
I offer a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and empathetic space for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I use an integrative approach through evidenced based treatments including IFS, EMDR, ACT, and CBT each tailored to help you reach your desired outcomes and goals.
Through self-compassion exercises, we’ll work to uncover the root of your challenges and create a path toward healing, growth, and balance. You don’t have to carry the weight of self-criticism alone. You deserve the same care and kindness you offer to others and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Clinical Therapist
Well, here we are. Looks like you're considering therapy. I'm really glad you're here.
Here's how I roll: As your therapist, I'll meet you with compassion, curiosity, and zero judgment. I'm big on humor (when appropriate, duh), celebrating the little wins, being your #1 hype girl, and gently holding you accountable when you need it most. Most importantly, I bring a range of tools I'd love to share with you to help navigate life's toughest and sometimes most tender moments. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, grieving, or simply trying to figure out your next chapter, we'll work through it together in a way that feels authentic to you.
I work with adolescents & adults. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, LGBTQIA+ individuals, ADHD, ASD, religious trauma, victims of domestic violence, and those navigating major life challenges. I believe every person's story is shaped by far more than what we see on the surface, and I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and respect for each individual's unique experiences. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can process challenges, gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.
My background in forensic social work and crisis intervention (CIT certified) has provided extensive experience supporting individuals through trauma, mental health crises, grief, loss, and other significant life challenges. These experiences continue to shape my compassionate and informed approach to therapy.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), along with expressive and nature-informed approaches, tailoring my work to your individual needs and goals. My goal isn't to "fix" you, it's to help you reconnect with your strengths, make sense of your experiences, and build a life that feels meaningful (and maybe even a little lighter than it does right now).
When I'm not in the office, you'll most likely find me hanging with my dog, Rupert, spending time with the people I love, moving my body/being active (running, climbing, hiking, etc.), or recharging aka bed rotting. Balance is key, my friends! I'm a creative girlie who loves a good book, trash TV, live music (sad girl indie/pop, house, rap, R&B/soul, and occasionally hardcore *depending on the mood*), junk journaling, and a real good cup of coffee.
Think we'll vibe? I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit.

I hope to be able to help you connect, understand, and accept yourself in a way that allows you to live in alignment with your values and goals. I believe in meeting people where they are at because there is always an important reason you are there. I also believe in a judgement-free and safe environment where you can be open and honest with me and more importantly, with yourself.
I work with anxiety, depression and other mental health struggles. I have experience working with people impacted by the criminal legal system as well as folks in the LGBTQIA+ community. I have also worked with people who struggle with or are impacted by substance abuse and addiction as well as other process addictions. I see children, adolescents, and adults.
I use a holistic and person-centered approach in order to understand your life and how all of your experiences have shaped where you are at today. I incorporate multiple therapeutic modalities in my work. Some of those include: Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Parts Work Therapy, EMDR, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and others.
I am passionate about cultural humility and advocacy. I always want to remain teachable and understand that my clients are the masters of their own experience. The person that knows you the best is yourself. If you think I could be a good fit for you, I can be reached via phone or email. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Michelle Pearson, MSW Intern
Clinical Therapist
I believe that healing happens when we feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, navigate challenges, and move toward the life you want to live.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling to find your footing, or simply looking for support and guidance, I am here to help. Together, we can explore your challenges, celebrate your strengths, and work toward a life that feels more connected, authentic, and fulfilling.
I work with teens and adults. I have a special interest in working with women, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is strengths-based and person-centered. I use ACT, CBT and DBT approaches as well. I help clients uncover their inner resources while developing practical tools for growth and healing.
As a wife and mother of five, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges that come with family life, parenting, relationships, the postpartum journey, and major life transitions. These experiences have deepened my empathy and strengthened my desire to support others as they work through difficult seasons of life.
Before pursuing social work, I worked as an actress and content creator. Those experiences taught me the power of storytelling, vulnerability, and authentic human connection. I believe every person has a unique story worth telling, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they discover their strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
