I have been to A LOT of therapists over the years and let me tell you. This lady is a shining light in that crowd. Julie Bailey listens to each word you feel and takes it into consideration. She is real, kind, and will ask what you need to be asked. If you want progress figure out your biggest downfalls you’re ready to look at and come to this one. It feels like she helps point you in the right direction after giving you a cold glass of tea and warning you about the rickety bridge round the bend. I’ve made immense progress with my panic attacks and mindset in the past year, she makes sure I know too, cheering me on each week. Checking in and patient. Nothing but supportive and encouraging of the healthiest sides of life. Thank you, Julie.

Julie is easily my favourite therapist. I’ve been comfortable with her from day 1 (it’s been over a year now) and I always feel I can be vulnerable with her. I feel safe and supported, regardless of whether we’re laughing about family life or working through trauma. I can share - or not share - whatever I like, but Julie will absolutely take note of things to explore later. I’m in good hands with her, after years and years of uncomfortable and negative therapy experiences.

My experience with Julie has been really great. I have grown so much and learned how to manage the feelings and thoughts that made me come to BetterHelp in the first place. The progress was a slow uprise each week. No intense or scary changes, just a slow and steady uplift to where I am today. It took a lot of self-work to learn how to control and manage my anxiety, stress and panic attacks. I feel so much more calm and self-respecting, and also I feel like I know myself so much more than I ever have before. Highly recommend :)

I’m a therapist and I’ve been in therapy off and on for almost 8 years. I’ve never made as much progress as I have with Julie in such a short amount of time. She’s the perfect therapist’s therapist—- she knows how we think and work and is great at breaking through all of our defense mechanisms. Can’t recommend her enough.

Julie has made therapy really easy for me. She made me comfortable with her which is saying a lot because I don't like to talk about my problems. She caught my references and she used those as part of the therapy which felt really relatable !!

Walking through grief from the death of my baby that I will never meet feels like the worst suffering I may ever go through, but Julie has helped me in more ways than she'll ever know. Forever grateful that she holds space for my pain, recognizes my feelings as valid, gently celebrates my highs, and empathizes with me in my lows. I'm unsure of where I'd be if I hadn't started therapy but I'm so glad I made the choice, and that Julie is the one I can share with, my most honest of feelings.
