Getting to know Dr. Julia Saenz

Hey there! Congratulations on taking the first step to finding a therapist. It tends to be the hardest-acknowledging that things aren't going so well requires honesty, self-awareness, and humility. Or an "admittance of failure," as some might describe it. At least that's what it feels like. I assure you that you didn't fail and you're not a failure, no matter how strong those feelings might be. It's the system that's flawed; it drowns us in unrealistic expectations and superficial comparisons, causing us to feel overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, lonely, and unfulfilled. I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University and help folx identify and understand challenges related to self, sexual and gender identity, food, and pregnancy and motherhood, just as I hold space for those suffering from chronic mood and anxiety disorders. I think of health holistically and aim to integrate mind, body, and spirit by incorporating mindfulness and meditation. Similarly, I prioritize casting a support network that consists of both meaningful social connections and a collaborative team of various health care providers (i.e., psychiatry and dietetics). Under your guidance and my expertise, we embark on your journey to self-discovery. Along the way, you'll learn to decipher your needs and develop skills that empower you to change the narrative of your life story. You'll use pragmatic strategies, concrete behaviors, as well as symbolic and spiritual rituals and somatic experiences. Most importantly, you'll foster curiosity and compassion for yourself and others.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
