Ive never done any kind of therapy and have always thought it would be a waste of time for me. Better help matched me up with Julienne and she has been good for me. She is easy to talk to and always listens when I talk and offers good suggestions for me. Julienne is very good at pointing out what I’m feeling even though my thoughts and expressions may be rough and jagged. Looking forward to more sessions. Thanks Miss J !

Julienne has provided me the fresh breath of air I needed during one of my toughest moments. Our sessions were my safe space where I always felt listened to and understood no matter what and along the way I gained a lot of different perspectives on situations and most importantly tools to manage stress, anxiety, and other things. Highly recommend!
