Introduce yourself to prospective clients. We suggest adding how you got started. Julia is a Licensed Professional Counselor and has over 33 years of experience in counseling, both in college and church ministries. She now combines her past counseling and lived experiences with a Master’s in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. At RTS, she gained an in-depth understanding and skills in integrating God’s Word and His World to counsel the whole person–body, spirit, and mind. Julia’s approach to counseling fosters a warm and trusting therapeutic alliance in an environment where clients feel free to examine patterns of behavior, thoughts, or emotions that cause concern. She therapeutically uses a variety of theoretical approaches to match the client, the issue, and the counseling method, to achieve the client’s goals. She gravitates toward compassionate counseling approaches and evidence-based practices that emphasize the worth and dignity of the client while seeking to provide practical strategies for managing emotions and fostering increased self-awareness, healthy interpersonal relationships, and creative problem-solving abilities. This includes understanding treatment or client specializations and how your services can have a meaningful impact on clients.
