As a mother, Julie Bertel, LPC, at Authentic Life Counseling, empathizes with the struggles that come with raising children, and recognizes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. She is passionate about supporting new mothers and helping all parents navigate the stages of child and adolescent development.

Julie is trained in the SPACE program (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), designed to help parents learn skills and tools to help their child overcome anxiety, OCD or related problems.
