Julie Kent-Patridge, LMSW
I’m Julie, a licensed social worker providing compassionate, strengths-based therapy for children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have a special interest in supporting neurodivergent clients, including individuals with autism and ADHD, as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, and EMDR, I help clients better understand themselves, build practical coping skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward greater confidence and emotional well-being.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Julie, a licensed social worker who provides warm, strengths-based therapy for children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have a particular interest in working with neurodivergent clients, including individuals with autism and ADHD, as well as those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. I want clients to feel understood, supported, and comfortable being themselves in therapy. I also enjoy helping parents and families better understand and support neurodivergent children and young adults.

I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients understand patterns, process difficult experiences, strengthen coping skills, and move toward meaningful change.

At the heart of my work is the belief that every person has strengths worth building on. Whether you are seeking neurodivergent-affirming therapy, support for anxiety or depression, trauma therapy, or help navigating a life transition, I’m here to meet you where you are and support you along the way.

Evening and weekend appointments are available.
