Julia Smith
Registered Counselling Therapist
Therapist for Teens and Adults
Are you seeking relief from anxiety, stress, and depression? You’ve come to the right place! I help teenagers and adults who feel trapped by the challenges they face, find insight and direction in their lives. You deserve to live a life filled with purpose and joy, and I'm committed to helping you achieve that vision. Together, we can navigate obstacles and cultivate happiness in your life.
What I Can Help You With
I specialize in supporting teens and adults facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress management, life transitions, identity issues, and burnout. In our sessions, we’ll figure out who you are, who you want to be, and how to get there, empowering you to take action towards the life that you desire.
My Approach to Therapy
I utilize a range of evidence-based techniques, including solution-focused therapy to find practical solutions, narrative therapy to explore your experiences and identify your strengths, and collaborative therapy where we work together as a team. My goal is to help you heal and grow using the approaches that best suit your needs.
My Experience
With over 10 years of counselling experience, I've guided countless teens and adults on their path to personal growth and well-being. I'm the Clinical Director at Insight Mental Health Counselling and my previous work includes being a Counsellor at Dalhousie University and serving as a Child and Youth Mental Health Clinician for the BC government. Notably, my master's thesis that explored mental illness and identity was nominated for a Governor General's Award.
