Client Testimonials

“I’m lucky that Julia took it upon herself to help me cope with my recent physical ailment, particularity via the CBT technique. Julia has a very caring personality. She’s a wonderfully pleasant person to spend time with and I look forward to my weekly session. I find myself calmest when I’m with her. She encourages (teaches) me to maintain what I learn at her sessions in all real life situations, i.e. home, work, social settings, etc. This is why I nickname therapy sessions with Julia ‘EMPOWERMENT.’”

RECENT CLIENT 50’s, Brooklyn, NY

"I feel confident in my ability to handle whatever life throws at me now. I can stop and think things through without making impulsive decisions. I no longer stress over every little thing or make myself miserable about it. If I can change something, I do. If not, I deal with it. When I first started therapy, I never thought I'd feel like this, but now I'm ready to go out on my own. I feel motivated, and I'm preparing for the future. My outlook on life is different. I'm happy. I want to live a happy life and spread that happiness to others. I'm focusing my energy on things that make my future better. I think things through, I don’t jump to conclusions, and I’ve learned to be my own therapist. I have supportive friends and family, and I enjoy spending time with them. I love working on creative projects and relaxing with the people I care about. I'm also working on making more friends and socializing with my coworkers, and I feel confident that I can do it."

RECENT CLIENT 20’s, Brooklyn, NY

“I feel strong. Honestly, I didn’t know I could ever feel like this. I’m feeling good and optimistic about the future. Now, I can look at situations realistically and tackle them head-on, instead of freezing up in fear. I've learned so much about my triggers, and now I know exactly how to manage them. I'm getting so much more done—I’m not procrastinating like before. When things don’t go as planned, I don’t spiral into hopelessness like I used to. I just handle it the best I can and move forward. I feel really proud of the work I’m doing, both professionally and creatively. My life is in my hands now, not my anxiety’s. I’m incredibly thankful for this journey.”

RECENT CLIENT 20’s, Brooklyn, NY

“Mentally and physically, I’m back to the old me, but better. Before I started therapy, everything looked dark. I wasn’t getting anywhere with anything… work, family, my health… I was stuck in the darkness. Through this process, I’ve learned better ways to handle my problems and I use those skills every day. It’s just a part of how I live my life now. I’ve learned how to communicate better so conflict in my life has gone way down. I felt completely alone before, but I’ve been able to connect with people again. I think I’m a lot more realistic about things now. I’m back to working out like I used to, and I feel great. I’m doing well at work again because I can focus and I feel good about myself as a person. I accept myself for who I am and I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. I know what I need to do to feel well and I’m sticking with it.”

RECENT CLIENT 40’s, Brooklyn, NY

“When I started therapy, I really couldn’t imagine being where I am now—and yet here I am. I didn’t know what to expect, but I’m so glad I came for help. I have a lot more time for myself now because I’m not making things harder than they need to be anymore. I was working way too much before and there was no balance, but I couldn’t figure out another way to get things done. I’m taking so much better care of myself and all of my relationships—at work, with my girlfriend, my friends, and my family. I’m getting closer with friends that I’ve kept at arm’s length for years. I’m not afraid of what anyone thinks of me anymore. Things in life won’t ever be perfect, but I’ve learned how to handle problems in a way that actually makes me excited about the future and all of its possibilities.”

“Julia was my supervisor at my internship for the 2016-2017 academic year. Julia was incredibly emphatic and cared very much not only about my growth as a budding professional but also about the welfare of my patients. Julia has gone above and beyond to provide guidance and support in challenging situations. She has imparted valuable skills and insights that have helped me in all aspects of my work while also allowing me to cultivate my own therapeutic voice. She was also open, non-judgmental, and honest throughout our work together, whether I was bringing up countertransference, feeling “stuck,” or made a mistake. Julia is incredibly dedicated and passionate about her work and leaves a lasting impact on those with whom she works, be it a supervisee, colleague, or client.”
