About me

I am glad you are taking the brave step to reach out to make healthy and positive life changes. My name is Julie Atabe and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and Wisconsin. I have 20 years of experience and have been in practice since 2001 when I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh with an MS Ed. in counseling. I have worked in outpatient therapy, county programs and the inpatient hospital setting. I specialize in a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem, as well as life transitions.

My treatment approach is based on building rapport, trust, and open communication. The therapeutic approaches I use include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. I will help you reach your individualized goals by focusing on your strengths, skills, and abilities. I do this also by creating a safe environment for you to be yourself in and not feel judged. My counseling style is warm, accepting, empathetic, uses humor, and allows you to be your best self.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Julie Atabe. 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.

Immediately I was surprised at how attentive she was to that chat. I was not expecting her to respond as quick as she did and it made me feel like I was texting a friend. She lets me set the goals for the conversation and then guides me on my own journey of self discovery.
