I am a Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Georgia, and Chemical Dependency Counselor, licensed in Alaska, with over 16 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, substance abuse, LGBT and issues facing indigenous peoples. I also helped many people who have experienced physical and/or emotional trauma abuse. I also have over 5 years of experience working with active duty military and veterans.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, mindfulness, psychodynamic and integrative behavioral couple's counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Julie Weaver. 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.
I truly appreciate all that Julie does. She is a great listener and always has some thing insightful to say. She makes me feel comfortable to communicate my thoughts and emotions and is a wonderful kind and sympathetic person. I am truly grateful that BetterHelp connected me with her.

After just two sessions, Julie has made me feel comfortable being vulnerable and has given me a safe space to open up and talk about my issues. I'm excited to see where this client-therapist relationship will go!
