I've been seeing Julie for 5 years now and have recommended her numerous times to anyone seeking counseling. I've been to a therapist before but never went back because I didn't feel like it really did anything for me but after seeing Julie for the first time, I felt like it really helped! She makes you feel so comfortable and understood, you can tell she really cares too. Julie knows what she's doing, she gives you a lot of tools to use and connects things that teaches you so much about yourself, it's been a lot of self growth! She has really helped me get through some difficult times, I always know where to go whenever I need some guidance. I highly recommend Julie Wells! More...

Julie is an excellent family therapist. Warm, genuine, caring, and very insightful. I went to see her to improve my relationship with my pre-teen. She helped us understand each other better and have better communication. She also gave me guidance on positive and logical discipline / consequences. I only wish I had met her sooner and perhaps I would've saved a couple of years of drama. We went to see her weekly for a couple of months. After that, she said we could come back as needed since things were going well. Believe it or not, my kid actually asked that we go back to see her when something else came up a few months later and was willing to open up to her. That says a lot. More...

5 years ago I set out to put myself through therapy to deal with all the overwhelming dysfunction and oddity that made up what is sometimes known as my psyche. Being a bit of an over achiever, i set out to scour the internet for therapists within a 20 mile radius. I cant remember all the sites I used to compile my list but I reviewed at least 100 therapists and narrowed it down to a list of about 20 that seemed worth calling, organized in a spreadsheet by location, price, and specialities.I then prepared a list of about 20 questions ranging from "do you offer sliding scale" to "what are your religious beliefs and do you incorporate them in to your practice" to "what is your definition of 'mental health'" and called each one up to interrogate them and prove their worthiness for what would likely exceed $10,000 of my money over the coming years. Suffice to say, most seemed annoyed by my questioning or just didnt seem like the type capable of deep conversation or difficult questioning on the level that I would need to trust allowing to rummage through my brain and tune it up to any meaningful degree. Until i spoke with Julie that is. Julie was cheerful and kind, and was not only receptive to my questioning but even seemed excited by it. With everyone else having bombed horribly, i decided to schedule an appointment with Julie and I can say with absolute confidence that it was one of the best decisions i've ever made in my life. I could go on for pages about just how amazing and helpful Julie has been over the years but i'll try to keep it succinct: Julie, unlike most therapists out there (particularly those covered by insurance), is not just someone who got their masters right out of school with no life experience and only the ability to refer back to a textbook. She instead spent decades building businesses, herself, and her family, and it absolutely shows. Just on her office bookshelf alone are well over a hundred books she has read and ingested in to her beliefs and practice, and that is only the beginning of the likely hundreds of other books and media she has absorbed to make her an unbelievably wise and effective therapist. With experience and knowledge in just about any area you could have a problem in (and the intelligence and critical thinking skills to navigate her ways around any she might be lacking) she truly is a master at her craft and worth every cent i've paid and every minute i've spent speaking with her. In conclusion, if you're looking for a therapist, look no further, because this is the best one you will ever find. No ifs ands or buts about it. Julie if you ever read this i hope you know just how deep of an impact you have had on my life and how much I owe what I have done and will do to you, your kindness, your creativity, and your wisdom. Thank you for everything. See you on Monday :P More...

Julie has come into my life as a recommendation by an acquaintance: he said nothing but fantastic things about her and about how she impacted his life for the better. I started seeing her regularly and she turned out to be a magnificent blessing in my life. She is so compassionate, kind and wise, and has a beautiful, shining spirit. She gave me strength, tools and strategies to cope with the hardships I was going through, ideas to try out and advice on things, she brainstormed with me on different situations, and she always, always made me feel better by the time I was leaving her sessions. She has a very holistic view and can easily connect the dots. Her office is like a safe haven - she always has an understanding word with a warm smile to give to you. It's helpful that there is also ample parking available. 5 stars all the way-- thank you so much for everything, Julie! I am so so glad to have met you! More...

Julie Wells is A+ Therapist.....I saw a different therapist previously who did not help me at all. I felt like the person would just listen to me "talk. " That is not what I was looking for at all. I wanted to see someone who would offer advice and actually help me through a challenging time. Once I found Julie ( who was recommended to me by a friend) I knew that we were a good match. She has helped me tremendously. She is an A + therapist --top notch service. She is in the same category as all the experts and people who write books on marriage, family dynamics/issues, couples therapy, etc etc. She runs a very professional practice. I highly recommend her. She is worth every penny. More...

I had gone to over 15 different therapists until I found Julie. No one could truly connect with me until her. She has helped me overcome so many challenging times and helped me grow into a better loving person. She literally changed my life, and my perspective about life. She's incredibly compassionate, with a beautiful heart and soul. She oozes loves from her inner core and is a natural healer. I am extremely thankful for her guidance and expertise. It is truly a blessing I found her! More...

I started seeing Julie at the beginning of 2018, and she has been a great addition to my life.I started seeing Julie during a very difficult time of my life, and she has managed to keep my spirits and hopes up through everything and allow me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Â Her space and time she gives you is filled with compassion, caring, sympathy, and she practices a completely judgement-free zone.I have been in sessions where I've cried the entire time, and some where we've laughed half the time. Â She truly cares about her clients and the situations their in and always asks how things are that were discussed in previous sessions. Â She also allows her clients to bring their service dogs with them, as it helps to keep me comfortable and have that "rock" with me throughout, what at times, can be a difficult session.I look forward to continuing my relationship with Julie for the unforeseeable future.

Julie is an open, warm, insightful, and caring therapist. It so easy to open up to her, and doing so allowed me to examine parts of myself that I was really terrified to look at. Working through difficult issues with Julie is so easy because she makes you feel like it's ok and that she's there with you. She offered me great tools to help me progress as well as tools to help me maintain my gains. She helps turn chaos into a manageable murmur and pain into an opportunity for growth. I can't recommend her enough! More...

It is such a blessing to have Julie in my life. I look forward to her guidance every week. I enjoy our sessions together and I leave as a new person each time I see her. When I first met her, I felt incredibly understood and "held." I continue to feel that way time and time again. If that's not a sign of a good therapist, then I don't know what is. I am very lucky to have found her. May she never retire! More...

In just the couple of months that I have been seeing Julie, she has helped me tremendously. She has helped me to understand how all feelings start with thoughts. I have learned much from her guidance already. She gives practical advice you can apply daily and is specific. There are not enough wonderful words I can say about Julie. She truly is the best. One of the smartest decisions I made was to start seeing her. More...

It's difficult for me to put into words how amazing and and vital to my life Julie has been. She was my constant support through the hardest part of my life - my divorce. My (now ex) husband and I went to see her together and I saw her by myself as well. After the divorce, I continued to go to her weekly. Those hours were spent crying, laughing, and recovering from the situation I was put in. Julie is so easy to talk to, you wouldn't think you're in a therapy session. It's like talking to a friend. I trusted her from the beginning and was right to do so. She knows all the right questions to ask and how to guide your thoughts through what you are struggling with. She checked in with me on my bad days and celebrated my great days! I could never have had such a successful emotional and mental recovery from what happened if it hadn't been for her. Julie, you have the biggest heart and I'm so lucky I found you to guide me through the dark days back into a happier life! More...
