Julia Burke, LCSW

THERAPIST

Hi, I’m Julia and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I strive to create a space where my clients feel validated and supported. Using a collaborative and solution-focused approach, I work with my clients to help them be their most authentic selves and process life’s stressors. Whether it is to manage work stress, family turmoil, life stages, or everyday stress, everyone deserves space to work through these challenges and for someone to listen. I am honored to partner with you during your process!

 

Collaborative and solution-focused support

Reaching out for support is the most important step in the therapeutic process. Sometimes all we need is someone to help us recognize that we have the skills to cope and may just need a little guidance to ignite our motivation. I strive to work collaboratively with my clients. If a solution to a presenting problem is going to work, it is the client that is the driving force. My job is to support you to find the confidence to give it a try! You deserve a place to feel safe, supported, and motivated to be the best version of yourself.

Therapeutic Relationship

As humans, we need to feel a connection with someone before we can move forward in any type of relationship. The same is true in the therapeutic relationship. You deserve to feel safe, heard, validated, and, at times, appropriately challenged. My goal is to provide this type of environment. I invite my clients to be their true selves in session. If there is a place to let down your walls, express all your emotions, and feel comfortable doing so, it should be in therapy. I look forward to building a therapeutic alliance with you!

 

How I Help:

Pulling from my experience and education, I utilize a collaborative, solution-focused, and strength-based approach. I work to challenge negative thinking patterns that, in turn, affect how you feel and act in certain situations. It is not easy to make change, but it is doable, and you are certainly capable! I am honored to be on this journey with you as your partner in the therapeutic process. 


More About Me:

You can find me spending quality time with family and friends when I am not in the office. As a native San Diegan, I love to explore our city. I am a new mom and enjoy sharing these adventures with my daughter. I enjoy hiking, watching sports (go padres!), and planning trips.
