Julie Grebenau
Mental Health Therapist
As a mental health therapist, I aim to be collaborator with clients by creating space for your individual body, spirit, and mind. You may have felt like you’ve had to hide parts of yourself. I practice from the stance of “all parts welcome.” Every part can be witnessed when you are ready.
I work with expressive arts therapy to discover what your heart is drawn to, which can be a good starting point for seeing the larger cause of overwhelming life stress, generalized anxiety, body image issues or dysmorphia, sensory overload, and more. We don’t just communicate with words — we do it through movement, sound, imagery, and more.
Silence is also welcome. I am open to you exactly as you are. I value your specific needs in mental health counseling and encourage questions, especially in the beginning, to ensure I am clear on your boundaries and vulnerabilities.
I also prioritize accessibility for both able-bodied and disabled people— I strive to provided accommodations for all bodies and minds.
All I ask from you is to bring your authentic self to the session. We can meet there and decide together, with you in the driver’s seat, where the session will go. I look forward to meeting you in your world.
