Hello! I am Julie. I am the Director of Verne Psychotherapy and Wellness LLC. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work with a minor in Psychology from Ramapo College of New Jersey as well as a Master’s Degree in Social Work from New York University.
My passion lies in helping individuals create change in their lives while staying true to who they are. I enjoy helping folx work through anxiety, panic, OCD, and other life difficulties.
I have specialized training in mood disorders and anxiety disorders and have experience working with children, teens, and adults in various clinical settings from hospital, to community mental health, to in-home services, schools, and group private practice. As an LCSW, I am passionate about helping my clients through their most stressful life circumstances. I help with self-doubt, anxiety, and overall wellness.
Is stress affecting your overall well-being? Perhaps you are under or over sleeping, your health is taking a turn for the worse, you are more sedentary than usual, your mind is racing and is stuck in a loop, you have muscle tension, you are tired for no reason, or you are experiencing pandemic fatigue, burnout, or compassion fatigue.
If this sounds like you, I would like you to imagine feeling refreshed, empowered, optimistic, and ready to take on your day-to-day tasks. You are able to squash self-doubts and “what-ifs” as they come up. You no longer feel like you’re on autopilot. Your mind finally feels a sense of calm and ease that you thought may not ever happen again.
I will work with you to bring out your inherent values and strengths, crush barriers in the way, and treat the anxiety you have been faced with. The imagined scenario above can become a reality.
Are you a current client? Are you looking for inspiration? Maybe you are a medical or peer professional looking to partner with a licensed psychotherapist. Let’s keep in touch!
