Getting to know Julia Baruffi

"When you are the person everyone else relies on, finding a space where you don’t have to hold it all together can feel rare. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in working with women, healthcare workers, educators, clinicians, and service professionals who are feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or quietly burned out. My integrative approach draws from person-centered therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed care, including EMDR. Together, we create a secure, confidential space to untangle chronic stress, process difficult experiences, and help you shift from just functioning to genuinely thriving.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In our work together, you set the pace. I will never push you to share more than you feel ready to explore. I view therapy as a truly collaborative partnership where you remain the expert on your own life, while I provide perspective, evidence-based tools, and a grounded space to explore both what is working and what feels heavy. Rather than just analyzing challenges intellectually, we take an integrative, mind-body approach to understand how stress and trauma impact your nervous system, boundaries, and daily energy through modalities like parts work (IFS) and EMDR. Most importantly, there is zero performance pressure here. If you are used to taking care of everyone else and feeling like you must hold it all together, therapy is the one place where you can set down the mask...the humor, tears, silence, and messiness are all welcome

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our initial sessions, we focus on establishing trust, identifying your goals, and ensuring you feel grounded and comfortable. There is never any rush to unpack deep pain or trauma before you are ready. As we move forward, we balance practical support for nervous system regulation and boundary-setting with deeper exploratory work. Using an integrative approach that incorporates parts work (IFS) and trauma processing (such as EMDR) if appropriate, we look at root causes, untangle accumulated stress, and help you shift out of constant survival mode. Throughout the entire process, we regularly check in on your progress, adjusting our pace and focus so that therapy consistently aligns with your evolving life and values.
