Julia Sather is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington - license LH60408320 - and a Sex Offender Treatment Provider (SOTP) with 15 years of professional therapy experience. Before entering clinical practice, she spent nearly 13 years working as a community corrections officer (parole officer), and later returned to school to complete graduate training.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Society and Justice and Sociology from the University of Washington (1995) and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from City University of Seattle (2009). In clinical work she frequently supports court-ordered clients as well as people who are concerned about their behaviors and want to avoid involvement with the criminal justice system.
Sather has experience treating stress and anxiety, mood disorders - including depression and bipolar disorder - relationship problems, trauma (including PTSD) and abuse, and intimacy and sexual issues. Her primary therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on examining the thoughts and feelings that influence behavior to create healthier patterns.
She aims to provide a safe, open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and she values a healthy sense of humor as a coping tool. Taking the first step into therapy takes courage, and she looks forward to hearing from people who are ready to get started.
