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.

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

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.

We have been in couples therapy several times before and we know that the issues are, but nothing ever changed. Spending focused time without the pressure of the kids and competing priorities we were able to focus on understanding one another so our defenses could relax. We wish we would have invested in an immersive experience before instead of spending all the money and time spinning our wheels. We are using our individualized manual

At first I was completely against an “intensive” because I thought it would be so draining but, I can’t believe how fast the time went, and how energized and hopeful we both felt after two days.”

I was nervous to spend an extended amount of time wallowing in our problems but it turns out we didn’t wallow we resolved a lot of pent of feelings and left with the skills and support to practice what we learned. The best money we ever spent!

I came into see Julieann 3 years ago with severe anxiety and panic attack issues. I wasn’t able to travel and every day was a challenge just to be at work. We worked hard for almost a year with basic therapy and EMDR and made incredible improvements. If you are ready to put in the work (you will get homework) and ready to make a change you will not find a better therapist to walk with you on that path. She combines a good dose of reality with just the right amount of positive energy. I learned to trust her completely and she did not let me down. I have been calm, happy, traveling and able to deal with issues as they come now for 2 years. I go back for occasional tune ups but Dr J really changed my life.

If this is a testimonial then great. Honestly, it's more just me pouring out my thoughts and feelings about time spent under your wing. Everyone finds themselves in need of help sometimes and that is precisely when angels appear. I came to you at one of those times and for my own reasons of course. Sitting across from you on my first visit, your gentle, lively spirit quickly convinced me to trust and open up, to do what you wanted me to do, learn to help myself. Your amazing gift of insight quickly earned my trust and confidence. You journeyed with me through many areas of my life. You helped smooth out what needed smoothing but mostly you taught me to celebrate who I am, who we all are, and to be grateful. You firmly but playfully held me to the commitments I made toward my own self-improvement and celebrated with me every bit of progress I made. And there was some amazing progress. You provided exactly what I needed in exactly the right amounts at exactly the right moments. You are truly gifted and I am forever thankful for the changes that came into my life as a result of your efforts.

When I first went into your 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 you I found someone who seemed to really see not just the problems, but me. Not just a compassionate listener, you were very clear and direct in your 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 you, but also challenge or question some of your 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. You 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 you.

The intensive was exhausting and fantastic. The group was amazing and it was so cool to see little bits and pieces of each of our stories become common threads for us all to learn about ourselves. I will keep in touch and hope to see and hear from everyone soon!

A Intensive Participant

I started working with Julieann about three years ago and I can’t say enough about what a positive and life changing experience it has been. I had been in therapy in the past and found it to be helpful but I couldn’t seem to get past the things that were bothering me. I spent years rehashing old dynamics and problems and was comfortable with this style of therapy, not realizing what I was missing out on. When I started seeing Julieann I was surprised at first because she didn’t tell me directly what to do or how to fix my problems. Instead she encouraged me to discover the solution on my own. It was something I had to get used to but I soon found how empowering it was. She helped me move past what I perceived were my problems and issues and encouraged me to focus on the positives, which was something I had never encountered in therapy before. Instead of recounting old stories or focusing on the need to suffer, she created a safe space for me to discover who I really am and what I want to be as a strong adult woman. I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in some other areas of Julieann’s practice. I worked on healing my inner child in a three day intensive which was life changing and incredibly important to my growth. I also had the chance to be a part of Brain Paint and although I was hesitant at first, convinced that it wouldn’t work, she pushed me to give it a try and I was amazed with the results. I struggled with obsessive thinking and over a fairly short period of time I noticed differences in the way I handled situations. Things that used to give me anxiety no longer seemed as serious and I was able to work past those issues that had held me back in the past. The unconditional support I received from Julieann has truly changed my life and helped form me into the woman I am today. The patience and encouragement that she so readily gave was incredible and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to be a part of a therapeutic process that pushed me to my full potential and to the realization that I am worth something in this world.

Julieann Myers Center For Healthy Change has been an incredible space to receive therapy on various life challenges. We've received support on addiction, marriage and family therapy, individual therapy, and workshops. It's been important to have one place to go to that provides support for all these areas in life, a more holistic approach. I've also found it extremely beneficial that all the various therapists that we work with collaborate to really support our progress.

My experience at Julieann Myers – Center for Healthy Change provided me with the confidence to utilize best care practices to serve my clients, while teaching me the foundational skills necessary towards building a flourishing practice. Thank you so much to the whole team at Julieann Myers – Center for Healthy Change for your guidance and never-ending support."

Wesley Yu, Therapist

My year of therapy with Julieann Myers, to bring myself home to myself was truly difficult and very painful. Embracing my inner child took a great deal of loving compassion towards myself, before I was able to see my inner child as someone I was willing to embrace and love. It makes sense: Why love her when no one else did! Or at least that’s how I felt as a child. When you are beaten by those who are supposed to love you, you believe something is wrong with you and you are unloveable. My inner child did an excellent job of portraying someone who was unlovable. She was filthy, and snarly, hiding in a dirty alley behind trash cans and barbed wire. She worked hard at protecting herself from me and anyone I got close to by sabotaging those relationships. It took me a long time to be able to see her differently. Initially I wanted nothing to do with her. I wanted to run away from her. I was ashamed of her. It took a lot of returning to the alley and a lot of help to finally coax her out from behind the wires and trash cans. Each time I did this things got cleaner. Eventually we were in a beautiful meadow and she was all cleaned up and wore a simple cotton dress, and she came running towards me. She ran with abandonment, I knelt on my knees and opened my arms and heart to her. As I embraced her she literally melded into my ❤️ heart. Looking back with awareness it all makes sense. She’s a beautiful little girl today, enjoying her childhood within me, and knowing she is loved and protected by me is allowing her to grow up. Every once in awhile she jumps with fear, but I remind her she’s ok, I’m here now, I’m not going to let anyone hurt her ever again. Thank You for helping me on this amazing journey.

My name is Neal Mims, and I've known Julieann Myers for almost 10 years - without her, my life wouldn't be the same.  Julieann has been such a great mentor and positive figure in my life.  She's an amazing, kind, loving, and caring human being.  She has helped in all aspects of my life - especially my relationships with my family. Not only has she helped me with my daughter in her teenage years, which were very challenging to say the least.  My daughter grew to love her and respect her as well. Julieann has guided me through the most difficult and painful times of my life, and for that I am so grateful.   She understands what it takes for people to get through difficult life situations that would normally throw anyone over the edge. With a positive, fun, compassionate, empathetic attitude towards her job - Julieann has taught me how to be a better human being all the way around.  She also has a firm stance with an unlimited amounts of knowledge in a field I use to once think was bogus, and by meeting Julieann, she has assured me that therapy can be a great guide to a better way of life. We adore her, and will always love her for helping us be better as a family. Thank you, Julieann!

Thank you for being you. I could not have the progress I have without you. Your candor and professionalism is unwavering. You are amazing and I thank you for it and my family thanks you. Have a wonderful day.

I don’t know how to express it, but what I can say is everyone at the Center has helped me in their own way. I know I’m on a good path now because of it. I’ll send you notes from the road.

All it was doing was driving me nuts. None of them understood, they all made me really angry, none of them said what I wanted them to say while still helping me figure myself out. I told my mom no more, ever, I’m done looking for therapists! Regardless, the next morning we were at Julieann’s office. It only took one visit. And Julieann has been my therapist ever since, she’s my go to, for everything. Every fear that I thought I would never break, every bad habit that I thought I was destined to keep, she helped me break. I would recommend Julieann to ANY person who said they needed someone to talk to. Because I’m about the most picky person that I know, and she is perfect for me

I never thought I’d get on a sailboat, much less cross the channel, but when Julieann described the freeing nature of her women’s adventure course, I threw caution to the wind, held my breath and joined in. What I learned about myself in those two days really opened my eyes. – I am a confident, capable, thoughtful and compassionate person, a good team member and I’m much more likely now to jump into the unknown with a positive outlook

I have been seeing Julieann for the past year and a half. In this time, Julieann has helped me overcome obstacles by focusing on changes I can make to improve myself as an independent woman and as a mother. I have overcome addiction, withdrawn myself from an unhealthy work environment, joined organizations that help people in crisis, gotten more involved with parenting issues, and learned to set boundaries for myself and to set goals for my future in a realistic manner. – Susan

Like a coach in Sports, Julieann is coach on my sideline, always cheering me on, always sending in opportune plays, then offers exquisite feedback when I think I have not executed my plays very well. My coach, Julieann does not keep score on touchdowns or fumbles- rather she continues to give me encouragement to SIMPLY stay in the game, and play for the enjoyment of the game

- Marge Golden

I found her easy to approach and always ready to explore any questions and concerns. She is supportive of your struggles and is there to celebrate your achievements. Juliann’s style is very easygoing, flexible, comforting, challenging, and encouraging. She has become much more than just a “clinical supervisor”…I am proud to consider her my mentor

- David B. Friedentag, M.A., LPC, MAC

I am grateful to Julieann than little words can ever convey

- Veronica

I strongly recommend that any Human Services Manager consider Julieann Myers when they make plans for staff development. She will facilitate both the personal and professional growth of your staff

– Kevin L. Benbow, MA, LPC

EMDR helped me to march through realization upon realization about my behavior patterns that had kept me stymied.

- Steve

Real results & recovery! Through Julieann’s gentle “press-and-release” approach, I’ve finally been able to push through difficult issues that have hindered my personal growth & professional development for decades. I have made more progress with Julieann in 12 months than I did in years of sessions with my former therapist.

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

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

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
