Julie Alley(She/Her/Hers)

Julie Alley, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker whose primary location is in Metairie, Louisiana where she sees clients in person, as well as virtually. Ms. Alley is also licensed in Mississippi and in Florida, and she conducts sessions with clients via virtual therapy in those two states.

Ms. Alley treats clients ages 13+ who present with myriad of issues they want to deal with, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, couples' issues, grief/loss, adjustment issues, self-confidence, communication, women's issues, dealing with breast cancer, other women's issues, etc.

Ms. Alley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, among other modalities, to help her clients get through, process, heal, improve situations for which they present to counseling. Ms. Alley promotes clients to be themselves in therapy, know they are going to be listened to, heard, and respected as every person deserves. Ms. Alley has been through some of the same things her clients have experienced, which she feels helps her relate to her clients and vice versa, and makes her a better counselor. She uses empathy, compassion, encouragement, as well as direct communication with her clients who Ms. Alley feels are the directors of their own lives.

Ms. Alley has worked in an inpatient psychiatric facility, a neurologic rehabilitation facility, a public school system, and, most recently and presently, in individual practice. Ms. Alley has had multiple jobs before becoming a counselor, and this is what she was meant to do. There is nothing else she can picture as a career for herself that would better suit.
