Julia Hatch is a Licensed Associate Counselor who specializes in working with individuals ages 12 and up navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic pain, OCD, low self-esteem, maladaptive coping skills, and relationship challenges. She earned her Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from La Salle University and has advanced training as a Somatic Trauma Therapies Practitioner. Julia is also foundationally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), bringing a well-rounded and deeply attuned approach to the therapy space.

Julia specializes in working with adolescents and adults (12+) navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic pain, OCD, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and maladaptive coping skills. Her clinical work draws from a range of trauma-informed modalities, including Somatic Therapy, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Polyvagal Theory.

Through a collaborative and gentle approach, Julia incorporates somatic and body-based interventions into her work, helping clients learn practical tools for managing distressing emotions, physical sensations, and unhelpful behaviors. She integrates nervous system regulation, parts work, and mindfulness to support deeper self-understanding and healing. Julia encourages active participation in therapy, creating space for clients to explore their internal world with curiosity, compassion, and empowerment.

Julia is LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. She works intentionally to meet each client where they are, respecting the individuality of each person’s story and fostering a space where clients feel safe, supported, and understood. While she may not always share the same lived experiences, Julia starts each encounter with belief, openness, and validation.

Her passion for this work stems from her own healing journey and a deep fascination with the human mind and body. Julia feels honored to witness the unfolding of each client’s story and to guide them in learning the rhythms of their nervous system, connecting with their inner strengths, and cultivating a life rooted in self-awareness and authenticity.

Outside of the therapy room, Julia finds joy in movement, gardening, building, mindful walks, sewing, reading, and spending time with her partner and two cats. She especially loves surrounding herself with plants and the calming energy of nature.

A quote that resonates deeply with her approach is: 

“Be the person you want to become.”
