Getting to know Dana Julian

Hi, I’m Dana and thank you so much for viewing my profile. I know how important it is to feel truly seen and understood, especially when life feels overwhelming or disconnected. My goal is to create a space where you can show up just as you are—no pressure, no judgment. My approach Over the years, my style has grown and evolved, but at the heart of it is this: I believe in showing up with kindness, honesty, and curiosity. I bring a mix of thoughtful conversation and gentle, body-based practices into our work—because sometimes words aren’t the whole story. My focus I work with adults—both individuals and couples—who are navigating the ups and downs of life and relationships. Many of the people I work with are managing feelings like anxiety or depression, working through past trauma or PTSD, or seeking support around relationship and marital challenges, including premarital work. I also help clients explore and address sexual issues, including sex addiction and porn addiction, with compassion and without judgment. My communication style I aim to create a gentle, caring space where you feel safe to share openly and honestly about what’s going on in your life—and how you wish things could be. My journey to mental healthcare I spent many years working in the entertainment business, which was a great experience, but I always felt a pull toward something more meaningful. Since I was a child, I knew I wanted to be a therapist. Eventually, I decided to follow that calling and went back to school to make it happen. My goals for you My hope is to help you reconnect with the joy and sense of accomplishment you’ve experienced before, so you can find your way back to those feelings again. When you create that space inside yourself, it becomes easier to engage in life in a healthier, more fulfilling way. My first session with you Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to share what’s been on your mind.
