“During COVID my 9-year-old child began to experience a heightened sense of anxiety and a general sense of loss of control.  Her father and I searched for a child therapist to help her handle the stress and understand her feelings.  We are all so happy we found Julie Cipes.  Julie is compassionate and empathetic and extremely intelligent. She has a gentle approach and an easy flow to her communication with children. She is comfortable in the quiet moments and allows her clients to take the moments they need to share their thoughts.  She is a listener and takes what she hears and creates a strategy to help her client achieve their best outcomes.  I believe Julie is always looking to the future even though her clients are discussing the here and now.  Julie is providing them with life skills that will help them continue to live their lives in a happy and healthy environment.  We started seeing Julie via televisits until it was safe for in-person counseling.  Julie has listened to our child and provided a safe environment for her to open up and deal with her anxiety. As a parent, I could not be more proud of the work they have and continue to do. I have seen such growth in her communication and her maturity level and I believe these are reflective of Julie’s counseling.  Julie is excellent and I wholeheartedly recommend her services.”
