"I don't know what my life would look like right now if I had never taken a chance on Julius. Originally, I thought I'd feel more comfortable with a female therapist. After trying one who, after a few sessions, no longer took my insurance and another who I just didn't feel safe with, I found Julius. I knew right away that I was in good hands. Over the last couple of years, he's helped me with my initial concerns and so much more. The way he was able to assess the type of therapist I needed and adjust his methods to suit that is wonderful. He's not just nodding and writing things down in a legal pad. Julius is engaging. He knows when to gently guide me to a realization and when I need a stern but warm hand. Sometimes I can be stubborn but he's patient with me. I never feel judged. Thanks to the work I've done with Julius, especially during this pandemic, I've grown so much. I'm a better son, friend, uncle and most importantly, I'm better to myself. There will come a day that I will no longer need his services and it will truly be a bittersweet one. He's a splendid man and you won't go wrong in choosing him."

"I've seen Julius for a couple of years now. Before I saw Julius, I did not have much hope for my life to improve- I felt trapped in my own mind, disconnected from my body and spirit, and doomed to the same patterns of thought and behavior. I am glad to report that I am now much more in control of my own mind, my own life, and finally have developed a sense of agency and identity. Even though the hardest step is the first one, getting help, I would strongly recommend seeking treatment from Julius. They will help you get to where you want to be, and challenge you and encourage you along the way to be that person. Julius is very effective, and personable instead of clinical and disconnected, like some therapists are. They are especially effective in their specialties- identity axes in treatment considerations are so important for healing! Because of all of these reasons, I trust Julius and am grateful for all of their help."

"I’ve been working with Julius for over 4 years now. In that time they’ve guided me though many difficult life events while helping me navigate my gender transition. I have had several therapists before Julius but never one as effective, supportive, and caring. These have been the most healing, productive, effective years of my life. Julius has given me the skills to grow and heal and be embodied. They helped me change my life and become so much more than I ever hoped I could. I would and do recommend them to any friend in need."

"Working with Julius has changed my ENTIRE life for the better. I truly cannot sing Julius' praises enough! We've worked together for a little over 2 years and in that time I've learned immensely about myself, my needs, my relationships, and how to use therapeutic tools to emotionally regulate, connect with my truest self and grow as a person. I see an immense difference in myself, and my growth has been noticed (and celebrated!) by my partner, family, and friends. My relationships are more intentional, my self acceptance grows with every session, my life values now have clarity, and I've learned that I CAN do hard things (and love myself MORE because of them). I've had therapists before and NONE have ever worked to understand, grow, and care for me on the level that Julius does. I truly consider Julius a gift from God and cannot imagine where I would be in life without them. Julius is warm, caring, and funny AND will always be 100% honest with you and help you understand the hard truths that are necessary to growth. I've recommended 5+ people to Julius and will continue to do so for the rest of my days. If you're ready to change your life, to have more freedom, to believe in yourself and your power...Julius is the therapist for you."
