Professional statement

Julia Kuczkowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Boulder, CO. Julia helps young adults and adults overcome challenging times. These challenging times often leave Julia’s clients feeling emotionally exhausted, scared, and confused about what to do next with their lives. They could be changes in relationship status, taking a new direction in their career, or finishing up school. Julia also helps those who would like to work on their feelings of shame by increasing their assertiveness and learning how to set boundaries with themselves and others.

Julia’s approach to therapy from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy modality that allows a person’s brain to overcome the distressing or painful memories that hold them back from feeling present or confident in themselves. She provides supportive counseling as clients process through the major transitions in their lives and reflect on how change has impacted their lives in the past. For those who would like to focus on their spirituality, Julia takes a faith perspective to mental health and wellbeing.

Clients leave sessions with Julia with coping skills that can help them when they’re feeling distressed. They also learn how to advocate for themselves and how to avoid feelings of shame or guilt, especially when it comes to people pleasing behaviors. Julia’s style is empathetic, and she strives to let clients know that they’re never alone in their journeys.


Message to clients

Adjusting to new changes, or healing after a difficult experience can be exhausting and terrifying. When these changes or difficult experiences happen, they often leave us feeling fragile, wounded, angry, or out of place. Many people begin to experience anxiety, depression, questioning their self-worth, have trouble managing emotions, increase substance use, or experience difficulty with relationships. If you are experience any of these, please know that you are not alone, and that healing is possible.

Exploring the option of therapy can be one of the most courageous and rewarding steps any person can take. Please know that even getting this far shows tremendous courage and hope already. If you are willing to take the next step towards healing, I would be honored to be a part of this journey with you.
