Julie Burnett, Licensed Professional Counselor

I understand the complex and dynamic needs associated with mental health challenges, and I can help you meet those needs. Julie Burnett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience. Her focus is working with clients ages 11 and older, including individuals, couples, and families. Julie believes that all people deserve to be treated with respect, and that respect is a foundational part of her counseling sessions. She specializes in general mental health concerns, relationships, grief and loss, domestic abuse, and parenting. Julie believes that clients are the experts on their own lives, so they choose the topics for each session, while Julie brings various techniques that can help. Together, they create healthy life goals and decide what techniques they want to try. Julie believes that she is here simply to be a helping hand, a listening ear, and a friendly guide as you navigate difficult times. To help clients find their way to healing on the other side of pain, Julie offers new insights, teaches new skills, introduces new knowledge, helps broaden a client’s focus, and encourages clients to practice new skills. While Julie will never preach or try to change your beliefs about faith, as a Christian, she views the world through a biblical lens.

Since she was young, Julie has wanted to help people work through their problems so they can have happier, healthier lives. She often found herself being the one her friends went to for support. She saw counseling as a way to help others, and during her studies, she was excited to learn that one of the best helping skills is listening nonjudgmentally, a skill she had been practicing since she was young. She also learned many other counseling techniques and skills that she integrates into sessions with clients. Since earning her counseling degree in 2011, she has served in a variety of settings. She has worked with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, with active and recently retired military personnel, and with high school students. She has also maintained a private practice where she has been able to work with all ages and a variety of concerns. Over the years, she has found that, regardless of age, healthy relationships and boundary setting are often common goals, as we all strive to live healthy, productive lives. Julie allows the client to lead the session while she helps keep it focused on the path toward healing and healthy life goals. Some of the therapies Julie uses include person-centered therapy, Adlerian therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (), and mindfulness. Julie understands that reaching out for counseling can be scary. But she would like you to know that you have nothing to fear from her. Counseling with Julie is a safe space where all emotions are welcome, and she will not judge you for your thoughts, actions, or emotions. Julie has been told that she is a very down-to-earth counselor, and she is excited to meet you and help you begin your journey toward a healthier, more joyful life.
