JULIE HEXUM
CSW
We have all felt lost, overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated at some point in our lives. It is during those times that we both need someone to lean on, as well as help us to build up our own strength and confidence to overcome future obstacles. I will work alongside you to understand the problems you face, develop ways to work through them, and construct coping strategies to utilize throughout your life to avoid anger and despair when you don’t feel life is going how you hoped and intended.
-Currently accepting clergy pay, self pay, and insurances.

TYPES OF THERAPY
As we begin our discussions, I prefer to formulate a treatment plan I think
would be best for you, especially since a treatment method which works for one client and their
set of problems may not work for another.
