As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I take both my professional and ethical obligations seriously as I understand the honor and privilege it is to work with my clients. With over 15 years of experience in the Mental Health field, the last eight of those as a Social Worker, I have developed a dynamic view of the client-therapist relationship. As a clinician, I have worked in a multitude of settings and with a large span of ages, mental health concerns and life issues, including more severe and persistent mental health conditions. From intensive out-patient services to behavioral health research settings, my professional experiences have helped me develop an approach that is trauma informed, evidence based, inclusive and compassionate. I seek to meet my client's where they are at in the therapeutic process and build a relationship that is rooted in safety and respect. I also seek to acknowledge the ways in which our environmental and societal conditions can impact a client as they embark to navigate life's challenges and heal.
I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and cope with life's challenges when they are empowered to establish healthy boundaries and take control of their personal narrative. I encourage clients to take steps to build the skills and seek the support needed to take an active role in the therapeutic process and in their lives.
I look forward to joining you on your journey in therapy!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Julie Steyding. 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 was awesome! She was always on time for our appointments. She listened and gave the best advice. I wish I was able to work with her longer!
