Julie Hutson LPC

Previously, trauma-focused therapy assumed that clients needed to verbalize and process the traumatic events. We now understand clearly that the old approach can result in retraumatization of the person. Current trauma-focused therapy focuses on the individual's present-moment experience and asks, "What do you need to feel safe now?" I also help the client explore survival strategies (coping skills) that may have helped them through the traumatic events and are no longer effective or needed to survive and thrive.

Are you seeking to reconnect with yourself and discover a meaningful path in your life? I offer individual and group therapy for children, teens, and adults using talk therapy along with creative outlets such as active artistic expression and play techniques. My focus includes grief, trauma & PTSD, anxiety and depression, abuse & neglect, autism, and wilderness & outdoor trauma. I understand that healing is a personal experience shaped by many factors, and my focus is helping you heal, energize, reconnect with yourself and others, and become aware of your inner strengths in a way that is meaningful to you.
