About Julie

NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS Julie Desjardins specializes in therapy for individuals, parents, couples and families struggling with their relationships. We often see relationships deteriorate because of accentuated mental health issues, a lack of communication, a loss of emotional connection, and external stressors that impact everyone. Clients who work with Julie can expect a supportive, safe and non-judgemental environment, a gentle approach to challenging oneself, receiving resources and homework, and exploring a new sense of self. She also supports clients in finding new coping skills, developing new communication skills, and strategies to improve their relationships. She places great importance on building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and understanding, as well as guiding her clients to explore new perspectives that are out of their comfort zone. After 15 years of working in the mental health field, Julie enjoys witnessing her client’s healing process, and their progress with the use of tools and talk therapy. She draws from a variety of approaches, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive-Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (CBT-DBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), attachment-based therapy and Gottman method. Julie would be more than happy to answer all your questions and get to know you better with a free 20-minute consultation. *Please note that Julie has a reduced case load and is only accepting new clients for couples therapy.
