We are just starting out with Julie, but I can say she is very timely, listens to my concerns and helps clarify goals for behaviors we’re working on with my child, includes all family members as needed, and has been very easy to work with. I really feel we will finally see progress in my son’s behavior and overall well being with Julie’s help!

Julie is patient, supportive, always listens to the problem, and challenges my thought process to find a good solution that works best for me. So glad we connected.

Julie is simply awesome. Very empathetic, great listener. After a week or so with her, I felt so much better.

Julie has been so amazing! She has helped me realize so many things about myself and is always encouraging me! I really appreciate her!

Written on Apr 14, 2020 after therapy with Julie for 2 weeks on issues concerning lgbt

Julie is good. She diagnosed the problem correctly and even though I know what I was going through, she was able to find some good points which I did not think of. She is kind and understanding.

Written on Nov 15, 2019 after therapy with Julie for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, parenting issues, and anger management

Julie is a consummate professional who really cares about her patients and their problems. It really feels like she has your back and supports you.

Julie has wonderful insight. She has helped me to focus on myself and taking care of my needs.

Julie is truly an understanding and wise counselor. I highly recommend her for coping with trauma -- particularly "adult-children of an alcoholic" type trauma.

Written on Dec 02, 2018 after therapy with Julie for 6 months

Julie is kind and caring. Even after I ended my subscription to teencounseling.com the first time around, she still sent me messages letting me know I can reach out to her for help anytime. I appreciated that she took time to do that.

She’s welcoming and understanding and really tries to find ways to help. I appreciate her. She’s been there in my desperate times of needs when I couldn’t turn to other counselors or heard nothing back from them (through services outside FaithfulCounseling). She was there. That’s so important and was so needed.

Written on Sep 18, 2018 after therapy with Julie for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, family, and grief

Julie is a master at the craft of enhancing the lives of people who seek out her help. I have previously written a glowing review of her and I really don't know where to begin, now, as I only feel happier than I did before. She is caring, compassionate, open minded and steady. She is a teacher, a leader and and a source of comfort even when things are uncomfortable. To say that she has helped me would be an understatement. I have learned invaluable lessons from her; lesson that I will review again and again. Thank you, Julie.

Julie has been a life saver during a very stressful time in my life. She actually listens, responds promptly and with great care (you choose the method of communication- phone/computer). It's great to find such an empathetic, qualified therapist (especially since I've struggled to find someone who truly listens and never judges). I highly recommend her -- she is the kind of therapist who actually makes a difference! Such a relief.

I have only started working with Julie today, but so far she is easy to communicate with.

I have found lots of help from Julie. She has help me slowly over come a huge traumatic experience I had.

I had low expectations when I signed up but I have been very impressed with the quality of advice. Thank you!

Im pregnant going thru a break up, I don't know how I could have kept my sanity without Julie! She has been a strong support system in my time of need. She replies to late night messages or early morning. I appreciate Julie with my whole heart

Written on Nov 21, 2016 after therapy with Julie for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship, family, and self esteem

When I first came to teencounseling.com, I was dealing with some anxiety and social issues. Julie really helped me deal with issues with ease. She made me feel safe and understood. She is the person to help you though your issues and to help you become stronger. If you get her than you will be lucky.

Written on Aug 26, 2016 after therapy with Julie for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem, and career

I signed up for a free trial at teencounseling.com to deal with some ongoing grief, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and career related issues. I'm so happy to have been matched with Julie! Though I had been thinking of seeing a counselor for a while, appointment times never seemed to fit my schedule. I was hesitant about online therapy, but Julie has made the whole process so seamless and easy. She is extremely thoughtful in her responses is able to address a range of issues. Her responses are timely and she has helped me in just a few weeks to express my emotions more freely which has helped a lot of my anxiety and depression. I wasn't sure if I would stay a client after the free trial, but after our first few messages I signed up for a month. Now the month is complete and I feel much better in many ways, but will continue to use this service because I've found messaging Julie when needed is incredibly helpful.

Julie is very helpful and understanding!

Written on Aug 04, 2016 after therapy with Julie for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, relationship, grief, and self esteem

It's hard to express how much better I feel about myself since speaking with Julie Barrett. She's a very compassionate person to talk to and I am able to speak about things that I never have been able to before I see a glimmer of hope I didn't see before.

Written on Jul 02, 2016 after therapy with Julie for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, career, and depression

Julie is great! Easy to talk to! Like to talking to a friend.

Great listener, totally understanding as a person. Love her vibes!! She responds super quickly and always checks on me if I go sometime without communicating with her. I dont feel forced to be anyone except myself with her, which is cool :) Thanks Julie ! :)

Written on May 12, 2016 after therapy with Julie for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship, family, self esteem, bipolar, and depression

Julie has helped me so much in such a short period of time. I came on not knowing if I'd stay after the trial or not, and I expected a lower level of therapy from whatever therapist I was matched with since it's just a trial, but she surprised me.

She just listens and lets me talk my way through issues, but if she sees a problem in my logic she gently nudges me in the right direction or gives suggestions for me to try. I recommend teencounseling.com to my friends, and if I know anyone who does sign up, I always recommend asking to be with Julie!

Julie's reassurance and insight are helping me through a difficult time. I couldn't have made it without her excellent advice. Thanks, Julie, for your support!

Julie has been wonderful and kind. She is both insightful and caring. I greatly appreciate her help over this past month. She really helped me to put things in perspective and always validated my feelings. I feel very blessed that she was the one to be my counselor.

Julie immediately made me feel comfortable and acknowledged my issues and articulated situations and recommendations in very helpful fashion. She is helping me help myself.
