Julianne Cantwell, MS, LPC Associate, NCC

Sometimes we seek to be heard without judgment. Maybe we need to make sense of pain in our past to make living in the present a little less difficult. Sometimes our greatest goal is to be a better version of ourselves. Whatever the need, therapy provides opportunities for expression, healing, and growth. I have seen change happen when clients discover their strengths, gifts, and new paths toward peaceful, dynamic, and joyful living. One of the most important factors in cultivating change and a successful therapeutic process is a genuine connection between the client and the therapist. I value my relationship with each of my clients and attempt to foster an atmosphere of safety and trust, allowing them to feel comfortable exploring their relationships and life experiences. I help my clients recognize and voice their desires, feelings, and needs by bringing thoughtfulness, authenticity, and a sense of humor to the therapeutic process. I have a collaborative therapeutic style, and I primarily work from a Person-Centered Approach. At times, I implement techniques based on Adlerian Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Bibliotherapy to facilitate deeper, more personal, exploratory work. I welcome people of all kinds, including those who identify as BIPOC and LGBTQIA+.
