Julia Kuczkowski, LPC

I work as a trauma therapist helping people heal through increasing their capacity for joy, hope, and self-love.

Over the past few years, I have been working with individual's with a history of stressful/difficult experiences or trauma. It has been incredible to walk alongside these individuals, witnessing their healing journey. This healing takes place in multiple forms, but incorporating different body-based (somatic) approaches, allows individuals to heal from the inside out. Somatic techniques may include EMDR interventions, deep breathing, therapeutic yoga, and increasing awareness and attention the body itself. As humans, our thoughts, emotions, body experience, and reactions are all intertwined. It's important, therefore, to approach healing through a holistic, body intervention. As always though, please listen to your own body. If something does not feel right, listen to yourself.

In addition to working with trauma, I also enjoy helping people navigate relationship dynamics, manage powerful emotions (such as anger, anxiety, shame, or grief), or even explore options with career counseling. Healing does not take one form, but rather is often a layered approach which addresses concerns in multiple areas of life. Therefore, I approach clients with a variety of tools and resources to offer insight, connections, and help manage uncomfortable experiences.
