I work with teens 16 years+ and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, identity questions, trauma, ADHD, and self esteem struggles. Many of my clients come to therapy trying to understand themselves better and figure out why certain patterns keep showing up in their lives.

As a parent and therapist, I understand how life experiences, family dynamics, and past challenges shape who we become. Clients often describe me as open minded, supportive, and empowering. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you are going through while also feeling encouraged to grow and move forward.

Hi, I'm Julie Mendizabal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I'm bilingual and offer therapy in both English and Spanish (ofrezco terapia en español).

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.

I am in the helping profession to use my wisdom, talents, experiences, and education to help guide you so you can get to where you want to be. I am empathetic, compassionate, present, direct, and sometimes witty!

I was born to do the work I do! I seek and find my work/life balance by enjoying travel, cooking, light gardening, maintaining meaningful connections with those I love, hiking, and reading.

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.

I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.

In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.

I am most widely known for the safe healing spaces that I create for women of Color. Through my practice, I have facilitated an Annual Sister Circle Retreat, and ongoing weekly Sister Circle therapeutic support groups for over a decade. In doing so, I have worked to empower a multitude of women in creating the lives that they want.

I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in Georgia with over 10 years of experience working as a therapist for many different age groups. I served in the U.S. Army for 20 years before retiring. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I have helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach utilizes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Rational-Emotive Counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I also use Mindfulness exercises in my counseling.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
