Julia Parise, MHC-LP

I am a Mental Health Counselor who values creating a supportive and genuine therapeutic space where clients feel comfortable being open and honest. I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and I work to make sessions feel approachable, collaborative, and grounded. I focus on helping clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while learning skills that support both emotional regulation and everyday functioning.
