Julie Borden

Julie Borden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 23 years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in Social Welfare and has worked extensively with concerns such as grief and loss, stress management, parenting challenges, depression, and communication within relationships.

She recognizes that choosing to begin therapy and finding someone to trust is a significant decision that many people contemplate for a long time. Julie often describes the therapeutic process as opening a new window onto one’s life - a way to gain distance and a clearer view when familiar perspectives have become fogged and limiting.

Her work emphasizes both insight and practical steps. Therapy starts with noticing patterns, questioning long-held assumptions, and recognizing relationship dynamics, and then moves toward small, concrete changes. In Julie’s experience, modest initial steps frequently produce meaningful ripple effects as new behaviors create new ways of seeing oneself and new possibilities.

Julie’s goal is to help people live more authentically and with intention, supporting deliberate choices rather than automatic patterns. She takes satisfaction in witnessing the moments when clients discover a wider range of options and gain greater clarity, confidence, and peace.

If Julie sounds like a good fit, she looks forward to learning each person’s unique story and collaborating as a team to find the clarity, peace, and confidence that lead toward a brighter future.
