About awaken psychotherapy

I’m a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and Pennsylvania licensed professional counselor (LPC) named Julia Smith. I’m passionate about co-creating a space for growth and seeing you thrive and founded Awaken Psychotherapy to do so.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, obsessive and compulsive tendencies, substance use, depression, and relationships & life transitions. Learn more.

I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is at the core of healing and focus on establishing an accepting, non-judgemental environment filled with trust.

COUNSELING METHOD

  • Engage

    As a client, you will take an active role in the therapeutic process

  • Awaken

    Together, we’ll gently awaken the state of autopilot that many of us default to

  • Intention

    And mindfully move towards living life in your definition of authenticity with intention
