Julia Krebs is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who received a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from the Gordon F. Derner School of Psychology at Adelphi University. Julia is licensed to practice in North Carolina and New York. Julia has experience working with children and adults, as well as structural family systems. Her clinical training and experience working on inpatient psychiatric units has provided her with the skillset to treat a variety of mental health diagnoses with compassion, support, and empathy. Julia also has experience working in community mental health settings treating a variety of diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and trauma. She has also been clinically trained in the curriculum development and practice of group therapy.
Julia utilizes an integrative therapeutic approach. Julia is trained in psychodynamic therapy which focuses on developing insight and awareness into the mind, personality, and individual psyche based on established internal templates over time. Julia has also been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Child Centered Play Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, Addiction Counseling, and trauma informed care.
Julia’s therapeutic style is both empowering and adaptive, offering clients tools and strategies to thrive despite life’s constant changes. Julia’s focus on teaching clients about their nervous systems is a powerful addition to her therapeutic approach. Understanding the nervous system, particularly how it responds to stress and emotions, can provide clients with deep insight into their own behaviors and experiences. It also gives them tools to regulate their physiological and emotional states, making the process of therapy not just intellectual but also bodily. Her strengths-based approach focuses on what clients are already doing well, building on existing resources to promote growth. By helping clients develop practical regulation strategies, Julia is fostering resilience, encouraging self-awareness, and supporting emotional balance. It’s clear she’s committed to not just alleviating distress, but helping clients develop long-term skills for well-being and fulfillment.
