My name is Julia Gekhter, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in working with adults 18 years of age and older who have dx such as: depression, anxiety, trauma grief and relationship problems.

What I offer: Compassionate, skills‑based psychotherapy grounded in: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, perfectionism, and low‑energy days rewiring thought‑loops into intentional action plans. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)–inspired mindfulness and emotional regulation Solution‑Focused Brief Therapy Narrative, strengths, and identity‑affirm
