Julie Colfax, LMFT

Julie Colfax, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hello, I am Julie Pennington (previously Colfax), LMFT. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with people of all ages, levels of development, abilities, and stages of life. My focus is on you, your goals for yourself, and your family in the therapy space. My approach While I primarily utilize Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical therapy approaches, my background with a wide variety of theories and techniques allows me to tailor my style to your strengths and needs. Creating space for you to be seen and heard is always my first priority. Additional approaches I use include person-first, client- and family-centered therapy, solution-focused, transactional analysis, trauma-informed principles, psycho-educational therapy, energy psychology, integrated care (also known as whole person care), change theory, motivational interviewing, and sensory management techniques. My focus The majority of clients I see are working to recover from trauma and minimize the impact or development of trauma responses (Acute Stress Disorder or PTSD), dealing with depression (bipolar or unipolar), anxiety, neurodivergence and differing abilities, seeking to improve emotional management skills, or working through substance use and addiction challenges. My communication style I strongly believe that information is vital to understanding what happens both within therapy and in life. I will always focus on listening to and hearing about you, your experiences, and your goals. There is no understanding you without hearing your view of your journey. With my emphasis on transparency, I am comfortable answering questions about my process, my experiences in my own healing journey, and my life, as it serves your healing without shifting the focus away from your journey and your goals.
