Julie Giroux

Julie Giroux

I offer an individualized approach to helping each person I meet to adapt, grow and thrive with life challenges. We face so many different challenges at different times in our lives: traumatic experiences and loss, relationship issues, persistent pain, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and other forms of stress and illness.

My approach prioritizes what is important and meaningful to each individual. I want to meet you where you are.  This intention has led me to gain expertise in a variety of therapeutic approaches that include the body and mind.  My primary modalities are  Attachment-Focused EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. I have advanced training in Focusing, Mindfulness-Based approaches (MBSR and MBCT), Reconsolidation Therapy for PTSD and Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapy and Integration (TheraPsil).

I love working with people to develop curiosity and openness to exploring new ways of seeing and being at times of difficulty and transition in their lives.  I have a special interest in providing counselling to health professionals and first responders and know how particularly hard it can be to find time and ways to take care of ourselves.
