My name is Amelia Laurent-Julien, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, CPDPE, CDVS-I. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, and a Certified Domestic Violence Specialist (Level I). I specializes in working with adults with specific issues such as anxiety, trauma, anger management, and life transitions through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person- Centered Therapy. I work with adults ages 18 and over on resolving issues such as post-partum depression, conflict resolution, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, life adjustment/transitions, and grief. I utilize different styles and theoretical approaches, as I tailor therapy to the individual needs. Although I am an eclectic therapist, I concentrate more on behaviors and how to eliminate those we do not like! I assist you with building the bridge to a brighter future that you want and desire. It starts here!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amelia George. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She's insightful, kind, and forthcoming. I appreciate how she sends me worksheets and follows-up on things we talk about. I feel like I'm making headway, and between sessions she's good at helping me course-correct.
