Getting to know Julie Novas

For over 17 years, I have dedicated my life to supporting the healing and empowerment of people from marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+, POC, and WOC. My work is rooted in the belief that each person is an expert in their own life. As a therapist, I work in holistic collaboration with my clients to create a life they love, regardless of whether whatever is arising in the current moment is pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. I bring an anti-oppressive and social justice lens to the work, with a focus on holistic wellness of mind, body, and spirit. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Stony Brook University and a Doctorate from CUNY, The City University of New York. I am an LCSW trained in DBT, Emotional Release Work, EMDR, and Mediation. Additionally, I am an Ordained Interfaith Minister, Holistic Health Counselor, Reiki Teacher, Community Dharma (Mindfulness) Instructor, 200-hour Yoga Teacher, and licensed (inactive) attorney.

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.
