Julia Mendizabal

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Hi, I'm Julie Mendizabal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or a life transition that's left you unsteady, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's happening and find lasting change. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're already carrying so much — so if you're feeling uncertain, stuck, or simply know that something needs to change, you're not alone, and you don't have to face it on your own.

John Williams

Therapist

Virtual • Statesboro, GA


I'm JW "Cliff" Williams, I completed a M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2015. I'm a Licensed Counselor in Georgia and hold National Board Certification through NBCC. I'm also a Master Addiction Counselor. My theoretical orientation combines elements of REBT, Reality Therapy, and ACT. Clients have described me as "down to Earth" and I like that description. My goal is to help you learn and discover the things about YOU which are intensifying your emotional difficulties. "It's not the things that happen that upset us, but how we think about those things." - Epictetus. You already have the power to make the changes you want. My job is to help you identify the power and provide you with the tools to achieve your goals.

Brave One:

Coming to therapy is a courageous effort! My initial task is to create a therapeutic alliance that affirms you reached out at the right time and hope is possible! This journey we take together won't always be easy but with 15 years experience, working in many areas of behavioral health including forensics, inpatient medical and psychiatry, outpatient, consulting, substance abuse and private practice, you're in good hands. I bring a wealth of life experience that goes a long way too!
