Julia Catlin LCPC, LPC, LMHC

As a trauma survivor, military spouse, mother, and LGBTQ+-identifying woman living with a disability, I am keenly aware of the challenges that trauma survivors face, as well as the intersecting identities individuals and families carry into their everyday lives. Some of our identities are visible, and others are invisible. I also know how difficult it is to heal from trauma, and how the impacts of trauma affect children and adults uniquely. Healing takes time, and I can personally attest to the time and personal development one experiences during their journey toward healing. I am excited to share what I have learned with my patients, and I hope to inspire others to tap into their intuitive knowing of how to heal, how to find happiness, and how to develop supportive and loving relationships that can outlast life's hardships.

I began my training in mental health at an autism treatment center in 2013, where I was trained in Applied Behavior Analysis and worked with infants/young children who were nonverbal. In 2014, I began working at a crisis stabilization facility for adults struggling with suicidal thoughts and self-harm. The next year, I took on additional work as a mobile crisis responder, working days and nights responding to children, teens, and adults who were in crisis and completing crisis evaluations. In 2016, I completed my practicum and internship in mental health counseling, the first at a small community practice in Wisconsin and my internship at La Crosse County Health & Human Services in La Crosse, WI. I did my residency in Reno, NV from 2017 to 2019, and moved to Florida and Virginia, continuing my clinical practice in 2020 during my doctoral practicum at a nonprofit specializing in treating trauma and PTSD in children and teens, as well as parents and adults who were in the military. My most recent practicum was an advanced doctoral practicum in pediatric neuropsychology, where I assessed young children and teens for neurodevelopmental disorders and effects of fetal drug and alcohol use. Currently, I am in private practice and specialize in trauma and PTSD, postpartum mental health (for mothers and fathers), LGBTQ+ issues, child and adolescent trauma, and couples/relationships.
