Julia Langner, LPC-MHSP (temp)
She/Her
Julia’s therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that living fully means embracing every aspect of ourselves: physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational. She understands that healing involves acknowledging both the parts of us that helped us survive and those we may have buried due to shame, trauma, or grief. Whether these aspects are well-known or newly discovered, Julia is dedicated to helping you gather and integrate them. While the process can be challenging, you won’t have to navigate it alone.
Her practice is person-centered and trauma-informed, prioritizing your autonomy to determine your path and pace. Julia encourages viewing your experiences as part of a larger narrative and uses attachment theory to foster new insights and deeper connections. She may also incorporate techniques such as EMDR or Brainspotting, depending on your needs.
Outside of therapy, Julia loves the library, coffee shops with gluten-free pastries, and finding thrift ways to redecorate her home. If she could invite anyone over to dinner, it would be Mary Oliver, Gregory Alan Isakov, and any dog she ever met.

Get to know Julia!
How would you describe therapy?
Therapy is the process of building a home within yourself that you feel safe and empowered in, so you can go out and live fully in the world.
What encouraged you to become a therapist?
Experiencing self-acceptance for the first time after my second attempt at therapy (because sometimes it takes several tries!). I knew I had to learn how to help others feel that way too.
Favorite part of your job?
Getting to witness someone discover pieces of themselves they actually love, are proud of, and want to care for.
What is the most unexpected part of your job?
The lower back pain from the chairs we sit in. I’m too young for that!
If your life was a tv show what would it be called?
“No Mayo” – my endless plight of asking places to take *the worst condiment* off of everything while also being a people pleaser.
