Julie A Holgate
Licensed Professional Counselor
·LPCAbout
Mrs. Holgate’s clinical experiences include specialized work with children and adolescents, helping them learn communication and problem-solving skills to promote successful moments in life. Julie’s clinical strengths include behavior modification, developing healthy and productive social skills, and integrating these changes into all areas of life, including home, school, and social communities. Additional areas of clinical expertise range from daily life stressors to working with issues of substance abuse, trauma, and crisis intervention. Julie enjoys working with couples on issues that contribute to a weakened relationship. These concerns range from difficulties with fidelity, financial struggles, health concerns, sexual dysfunction, and others. Couples therapy takes a strength-based approach to building necessary communication and problem-solving skills for a happier connection. You are looking for change, life to feel better and different. Reach out for a 15-minute consultation and see if Holgate Child and Family Counseling feels right to you. We are here to help you move forward with your life with balance and well-being. **Specialties:** Therapy always aims to address the client's most significant presenting problem. Symptom reduction is an essential first step, as well as improving communication between couples and families to continue making strides between sessions. **Credentials & Experience:** I have 18 years of experience working with children, families, and couples to improve their quality of life. Counseling is aimed at reducing distressing symptoms, teaching better coping skills, and helping to add positive elements to daily living.
"My preferred therapy types center on empowering clients and symptom reduction. I often utilize Person-Centered Therapy to build a strong, empathetic connection. For practical skill-building, I integrate CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to address thought patterns and behaviors. I'm also EMDR-trained for effective processing of trauma and distressing experiences."
