Meet Julie Sickles, LCSW

Hi, I'm Julie Sickles, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping others grow and heal. I have dedicated my life to understanding the complexities of the human mind and emotions, and I am committed to providing you with the highest level of care and support. I believe in the power of connection and the importance of finding a therapist who is the right fit for you.

My approach to therapy is centered around creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be seen, heard, and accepted. I use a variety of techniques, including humor, to make the therapeutic process as engaging and enjoyable as possible. I believe that therapy should be a positive, uplifting experience that helps you feel different, better, lighter, and happier.
