With your help I have finally been able to experience "real" recovery! Several powerful addictions (including cigarettes) that dominated my life for over twenty years have been diffused through her exceptional ability to zero in on the fundamental, underlying issues and cut through the distractions. You challenged me to face my deepest difficulties and gently teach me the coping skills to better tolerate pain and discomfort. Your unique abilities have benefited all aspects of my life-- from my demanding executive career to caring for my young children.

Thanks! “Wow” is what I've been experiencing after this weekend’s workshop because I have to say, I definitely feel different and my reactions and actions seem to be reflecting that. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A Workshop Participant

Working with Katy Joy and Julieann to reimagine my life and heal my marriage has been amazing and I have new found hope and skills to face what challenges lie before us! I would highly recommend working with The Center For Healthy Change hands down.

It is difficult to put into a few words what CFHC has meant to me. I couldn’t imagine a better therapy experience. Julieann is honest, insightful, warm and most importantly, human. She’s not above my challenges, she’s down in the trenches digging with me. I consider her an expert, a coach and – something I not sure I ever thought a therapist could be

When I first went into Julieann’s office for help I was so overwhelmed by my family situation that my usual coping methods were just not working at all. Underneath what I hoped was a cool, calm facade I put on for work and ‘ the public’, I felt alone and desperate. I have seen other therapists in my past. Some were ok and some were not. My hopes were high but also tempered by past experiences and my overwhelmed, rather hopeless state of mind/emotion. In Julieann I found someone who seemed to really see not just the problems, but me. Not just a compassionate listener, she was very clear and direct in her communication, helping me see and understand the workings of my own thought patterns and habits so I could change those that were keeping me down. I felt I could not only talk freely to her, but also challenge or question some of her statements and suggestions. Very quickly I came to feel we were working as a team to build a new strength and clarity in me with which I could better resolve the conflicts in my life as well as make new, happier choices. She gave me some very positive mirroring and some very useful skills to take with me when our term of therapy was ended. This is what therapy should be. I’m grateful to have been referred to her

Center for Healthy Change allows for a playful journey to understand oneself, and your impact on yourself, and those around you. This process allowed me to trust the use of my insight. By believing in the “ride” and understanding that real change I want…so I can start applying this change in a playful and caring way. By building trust and allowing oneself to be curious about the process, Center for Healthy Change ignited in me the gift of understanding that real change is a joyful and mindful ride

I always felt safe and comfortable with her and she helped me build my confidence, strength and ability to believe in myself again.
