Getting to know Julie Ugoretz
As a social worker and psychotherapist with 8 years of experience, I offer collaborative care for people interested in coming into deeper relationships with their full selves. I particularly enjoy working with caregivers, artists, neurodivergent individuals, LGBTQ+ folks, and creative people who are navigating questions about identity, relationships, and belonging.
Many come to therapy burdened by beliefs that stem from systemic oppression, trauma, or early relational experiences. They may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, dissociation, or the pressure to care for others at the expense of themselves. They’re looking for a space where they can slow down, tune-in, and make sense of their inner world. Their goals may include building more authentic relationships, developing greater self-compassion, and finding ways to live and create in a more full and embodied way.
If this resonates with you, please reach out today. I look forward to building a connection and embarking on this journey together through a systems-based and anti-oppressive lens tailored to your unique strengths and desires for change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
DISCLAIMER: We are not able to accept Medicare or Medicaid plans at this time.
My path to becoming a therapist began with providing home visits to LGBTQ+ older adults. In this work, I became familiar with the unique challenges and resiliencies that queer people and communities build over their lifespans. This experience deepened my commitment to working with LGTQIA+ people, a population to whom I have dedicated most of my career. I am affirming of kink, sex work, and polyamory. I utilize a systems-based and anti-oppressive lens. I particularly value working with caregivers, artists, and neuro-divergent people. The care I provide is trauma-informed and oriented towards harm reduction.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I offer a therapeutic environment grounded in careful listening, curiosity, and the shared messiness and delight of being human. My work is relational and psychodynamic, meaning we explore how past and present relationships shape our emotional lives while working together toward deeper self-understanding, greater self-compassion, and more freedom in how you relate to yourself and others.
Therapy with me makes room for opposites – we acknowledge that your patterns helped you survive, and that they might be causing you difficulty right now. We hold grief and hope in the same hour. And, we move slowly and intentionally through these contradictions together.
I am dedicated to bringing warmth, honesty, and a bit of humor into the room as we explore these patterns and emotions, including how they show up between us and in the words you choose. While we do this deeper work, I integrate Dialectal Behavior Therapy to support you in concretely managing day-to-day challenges and holding the immense complexity this world has to offer us.
