Julie Madsen

Julie Madsen

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I've been a psychotherapist for over thirty years and have worked with hundreds of people from a wide array of backgrounds. My experience has taught me that although there are many excellent therapeutic approaches, there is no one size fits all approach that can be effectively applied to every single person. For this reason, I am genuinely interested in getting to know the people I work with as individuals, to ensure that our work together feels both worthwhile and meaningful to them.

Heather Belts

Heather Belts

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


Hi there! I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults and people who have experienced childhood adversity. Many of my clients have ADHD, autism, or high ACE (adverse childhood experiences) scores and understand their patterns intellectually, but need help creating change that feels safe and sustainable.

I work best with clients who are ready to take an honest look at how their past continues to shape their relationships, choices, and sense of self. Trauma work cannot be rushed, so I maintain a small caseload and move at a pace that gives each client’s nervous system time to adapt. I bring genuine compassion, curiosity, and humanity into the therapy room.
