Julie A. Kaufman is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor providing telehealth services in MN and WI. She specializes in helping adults and older adolescents experiencing problems related to identity, anxiety, panic, sadness, self-advocacy, trauma, life transitions, and grief.
Julie is a trauma-informed and holistic provider. The foundation of her approach is wellness oriented, psychodynamic, strengths-based, and non-pathologizing.
