Getting to know Julie Hesterman

Hi there, I'm Julie! I am Julie Hesterman, a Licensed Master Social Worker and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Spring Arbor University. I specialize in helping individuals with mood disorders, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, trauma, and substance use challenges. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, blending evidence-based techniques to create a unique path for each person's journey toward health and fulfillment. My approach I draw from evidence-based techniques to meet each client's needs. While I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I incorporate other methods as necessary. I emphasize self-determination, believing lasting change comes when a client truly desires it. I support a holistic perspective, integrating mind, body, and soul, and incorporate spirituality and faith into sessions when desired. My focus I work with individuals of all ages facing mood disorders like depression and anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, trauma, and substance use disorder. I am experienced in supporting clients through major life transitions and periods of uncertainty, helping them navigate challenges and achieve personal goals. My communication style I strive to create a warm, respectful, and supportive environment. My communication is empathetic and non-judgmental, approaching each client with unconditional positive regard. My goal is to make clients feel comfortable and understood, helping them open up and explore challenges at their own pace. My journey to mental healthcare My decision to return to school for my MSW and become a therapist came after a pivotal moment of clarity. Encouragement from those around me and the recognized need for more therapists confirmed my path.
