Hi- I'm Julie! For the past 15 years, I’ve provided practical, supportive therapy for men and women who are ready to make real changes in their lives. My approach is down-to-earth, results-focused, and a little bit of laughter—because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Together, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space to work through what’s been painful, reconnect with yourself, and move toward living in a way that feels more fulfilling and sustainable.

I specialize in working with individuals who grew up with emotionally immature parents or are processing wounds from religious environments. I also use methods such as EMDR to process acute and complex trauma, allowing healing to move beyond just talking.

Why work with Julie Hilton?

There are hundreds of qualified therapists in the Metro Atlanta area, each with their own unique approach and area of expertise.  Choosing the right one can be overwhelming, but finding the right fit is the most important factor in therapy being successful! So what makes my style unique? 
I don’t give advice
 I believe you know yourself and what's best for you better than any professional ever could. I want to help you learn to trust yourself again! I will never tell you what's best for you, however...
However, I don’t leave you to figure it out alone
​ I’m a very engaged therapist, which means I will challenge you and help you connect dots that you may never have even considered are important. I won't just sit in silence the whole session. I like to think of us as partners.
I dig deep!
While we will always go at your pace, I don’t encourage staying on the surface during therapy. I think it’s a waste of your time and money. Healing happens when you safely face the hard stuff. But with that being said...

​
I don’t believe therapy should be retraumatizing
Many people avoid therapy out of fear (possibly from bad experiences with therapy in the past, and I get that). There are ways to face the past without retraumatizing your system and I strive to help you find that balance so that it feels like relief rather than pain all over again.​
