Hi! I'm glad you're here. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Throughout my career, I've worked in a variety of clinical settings which has allowed me to work extensively with individuals navigating trauma, chronic pain, life transitions, stress/burnout, anxiety, and depression.
Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and it’s an important first step toward feeling better. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, collaboration, and practical tools for lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back and discover new ways forward.
My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on your unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based, and person-centered approaches—blending evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. Together, we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and build on your strengths to create a more balanced, fulfilling life.
I work with adults across all stages of life, including those navigating career changes, caregiving roles, or life transitions in later adulthood. I believe healing and growth are possible at any age.
If you’re ready to start your journey toward greater peace and self-understanding, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s take that next step together.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience, I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted. Having worked with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!
I specialize in working with adults ages 18-40, focusing on religious trauma, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, relationships, and LGBTQIA+ issues. My work is rooted in psychodynamic therapy and incorporates CBT & DBT skills according to each client's needs.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, trauma, and the many transitions life throws our way. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Psychology, a journey that fuels my commitment to providing evidence-based care while staying at the forefront of clinical research.
My professional background includes supporting adults and young adults through challenges ranging from PTSD and substance use to family dynamics and relationship stressors. I also specialize in supporting clients through gender-specific issues and significant life stages, including postpartum support and major career or personal shifts.
I believe the foundation of effective therapy is a warm, nonjudgmental partnership. At Holistic Counseling Solution, I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen and comfortable being yourself. Together, we will focus on your unique strengths to foster the meaningful, lasting change you are looking for.

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.
In my 25 years of experience with diverse populations, I have learned that no matter what your story is, you have strengths and potential.
Welcome! I specialize in evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders, ADHD, Autism, trauma-related concerns, grief, and life transitions. I work with clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, first responders, veterans, and families seeking structured support and meaningful change.
I use compassion, warmth, and a touch of humor to help clients feel safe, understood, and at ease during our work together. I also strive to create a supportive environment where clients can explore challenges without judgment and reconnect with their strengths.
Therapeutically, I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed practices, psychodynamic approaches, DBT skills, mindfulness, and strengths-based coaching to support clarity, healing, and growth at each client’s pace.
Inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist concept of the Four Immeasurables—happiness, joy, compassion, and equanimity—my practice reflects a commitment to cultivating emotional resilience and deeper wellbeing in everyday life.
Whether you're seeking support through stress, trauma, neurodivergence, identity development, or life transitions, my role is to walk with you, guide you, and help you discover meaningful change from the inside out.
