What people are saying about Julie Hilton

"Julie is amazing. If you’re looking for someone educated, kind and non judgmental- you’re in the right place! I’ve known Julie for over 5 years and can’t recommend her enough!" -Morgan R. "Julie is a fellow colleague of mine in the mental health field and I have experienced her as a therapist who is truly dedicated both to her clients and her own growth as a clinical social worker. During the time I worked with Julie in the same group practice, I found her to be a caring presence and while this is certainly a great characteristic in a co-worker, it is critical for successful therapeutic work with clients. I would recommend her highly to anyone seeking a compassionate clinician to help guide them through their journey of growth!" -April O. |
"Julie is the total package - authentic, non-judgmental, compassionate and highly skilled - everything you want in a therapist and more. Julie actually "empower"ed me to follow my dreams and pursue a career in private practice. I would not be where I am today without her supportive words. She's amazing. :)" -Chris D. "As a fellow therapist in Alpharetta, I am always looking for other counselors if I need to make a referral. Julie is who I think of first for women who really need to shed the past, get rid of self-doubt and own their own worth. She is so knowledgable about working with anxiety and is an expert using EMDR." -Karen W. |
"Julie’s social media presence, especially her blog, have helped me in so many ways to define my self worth and to really BELIEVE in my self worth. She is such an empowering woman and I’m so grateful to know her and have her services available!" -Ali P. "Julie and I are long time colleagues. She always puts the client first in her therapeutic techniques. She focuses on empowerment interventions that meet the client where they are according to their goals. I would highly recommend her to any referral and have sent her referrals in the past, with nothing but good feedback." -Martha H. |
A note from Julie...
|
As a therapist, I work to empower clients to shed the unreasonable expectations that the world has given us and discover the beautifully designed identity God intended. Uniquely made with specific gifts that the people in our lives need. Healing from the past and learning a new way of thinking leads to a renewed sense of self and inner happiness that we all desperately need! We tend to carry an excessive amount of pressure that weighs us down and makes it nearly impossible to live the life we want to be able to live. You might put forth endless amounts of effort but feel that you are just spinning your wheels, getting nowhere. Can you relate? |
Unfortunately, most of us are so busy that we never prioritize the time to work through the things that hold us back. In my opinion, therapy is the ultimate form of self care because you are making an investment in yourself and your future.
Reaching out for help is the first step and can seem intimidating, but I assure you there is nothing to be nervous about. In all honesty- I’m a lot like you and I live in the same world that had me feeling stuck in that cycle. I know what it takes to get to a place of healing and happiness, and I would love to work with you to get you there.
I am a therapist, but I'm also a wife, a bonus mom, and a dog mom! There's a good chance you will hear about Mojo and Madeline, my fur babies, in session from time to time. I think you will quickly see that my openness and down to earth approach will help you feel at ease about therapy.
You deserve this and I cannot wait to see what is in store for you. It would be an honor to work with you.
