About me

My name is Julie Chen and I'm a licensed mental health therapist in Utah. My years of professional experience include working with adults, college students, veterans, and teenagers with struggles such as crisis situations, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, personality disorders, self esteem, emotion regulation, substance use, family dynamics, career difficulties, and eating disorders. I'm a strong believer in using psychoeducation in therapy because it can help you better cope and understand your mental illness and/or struggles. My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, compassionate, warm, and optimistic. I like to focus on identifying your personal values and strengths, feeling emotions, and self love. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. I strongly believe you are the expert of yourself and feel that you should be so proud of yourself in taking the first and most important step by reaching out for help.

Should you feel in need of urgent help or that you are in crisis at any time during our work together; please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.

You are not alone. Things can get better. I'm really looking forward to working with you! Be well, Julie Chen, LCSW

Reviews

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

Julie has an amazing balance between listening and validating, and calling you on your shit in an incredibly kind way. She gives you space to work through things at your own pace, and will also push you to face the things you don't want to. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!
