"My time with Julie has been nothing short of life altering. Through some incredibly trying times, her wisdom and comforting presence guided me back to my authentic self and taught me how to put myself first. My healing journey will never truly end, but in using what I‘ve learned from Julie, it will certainly evolve in ways I never thought possible. I’ve seen a few therapists in my life and Julie has my highest recommendation!"

"When I embarked on my journey in therapy, I was not sure what to expect. I noticed habits and aspects of my behavior that I did not want to carry with me. I knew I was living under my potential, but worst of all, I did not like myself. I had little faith in myself, and I lacked the tools to truly live life on my terms. I relied on others to make most decisions for me. While I valued self-care, I did not know how to properly care for myself, especially my mental health. Julie has allowed me to see myself and my story in a whole new way. She creates a safe environment in which I feel genuinely seen and heard. Julie has ushered me on a healing journey to remember who I really am, partnering with me to face life’s conditioning and traumatic experiences with grace and courage. Julie allows me to be fully present; she gently fosters moments of self-reflection and a greater sense of self-awareness. Julie has helped me develop a powerful skill set to be true to myself in all of my relationships. She has taught me the value of holding space for myself. As I have continued working with Julie, I am astounded by the person I have become. I have learned to honor my needs, identify my emotions and communicate my feelings in a healthy manner. My authentic self was always waiting to be expressed, and I am forever grateful for Julie, who has helped me to make space for who I truly am."

"Working with Julie is powerful and deeply transformational. I walked into her office feeling small, lost and overwhelmed. Over the last two years, she has helped me understand my family story, develop compassion for myself, and gain a deeper sense of self and purpose. After a decade of crippling writer's block, I have even started unlock my creativity again thanks to my work with Julie.
She brings compassion, insight, clarity, and kindness into her practice. And, she has the ability to reframe current challenges into the next phase of self-work to become a more self-aware, confident, self-fulfilled individual. Julie is incredible, and I couldn't recommend her enough."

"I am writing this testimonial as a client of 18 months. Julie (and therapy) came into my life in perfect timing. In hindsight, I can see that at the time of beginning therapy I had a deep intuition that my life was out of alignment. Despite the fact that I had a successful job, a loving relationship and involved family, I still experienced a nagging feeling of anxiety-- an unwelcome visitor that would rear her head quite often and when stifled, manifest in extreme physical discomfort; chest pain, chronic stomach issues, tension headaches, and a perpetual dichotomy between restlessness and complete exhaustion. I saw multiple doctors and nutritionists trying to find relief, hoping the answer would be simple and logical. After several failed attempts, it was time to go deeper.
Upon starting weekly sessions I had trouble identifying emotions, processing them, and ultimately understanding how to regulate what I had very generally dubbed “anxiety.” I sit here 18 months later with so much more awareness and understanding of myself and those around me. I have gained precious knowledge around my story and have learned how my triggers and tendencies have come to be. This (still growing) awareness continues to be the ultimate gift. It teaches me that the single most important part of this life is in learning and loving myself. That the strength to get through the trials of life is found within me. That I have the power to be the author, protagonist and antagonist of my own story-- it’s up to me to choose each and every day.
I am not here to say that the personal transformation journey with Julie has come easy. In fact, just the opposite. It takes grit and true emotional strength to dedicate yourself to this work but I beam with pride knowing that I continue to make the choice to follow my inner knowing. My work will be lifelong.
I don’t believe that there is an expression of gratitude large enough to capture how I feel to have met Julie. What I can manage to put into words is that I am genuinely blessed to have had her with me on this journey. She is someone who is in alignment with her life’s calling and I thank her for having the courage to find her gift and share it with the world."

"I have worked with Julie Drochelman since December 2017 and have found her to be very gifted as a therapist. She is smart, compassionate, a great listener, and asks great questions to allow one to give thought to. She has assisted me to sort thru and unravel a very painful part of my past. We still have work to do and I’m confident I’m in good hands as she continues to assist me thru this process."

"Julie has an amazing gift in counseling therapy! She has an ability to pinpoint areas of need in her clients lives to assist them in their healing process. Julie makes one feel welcome, comfortable and at ease and has a way of lifting the heavy burdens of life off one’s shoulders. She has a unique ability to assess and target areas of vulnerability in one’s life to uncover parts that need growth and healing. She is a strong and confident woman of great integrity and character and is a wonderful counselor to unravel life’s many twists and turns with. I recommend her to anyone that is seeking to lighten life’s load and discover their true potential to live life abundantly and fulfilled!"
