Julie (Dr. Julie) Badaracco
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychologist
Welcome! Starting therapy can be a daunting process, but I'm here to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you might have.
I am Dr. Julie Badaracco and I work with adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, acculturation issues, identity confusion, trauma, time and stress management, and major life transitions. I genuinely enjoy working with individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds and will work to incorporate your cultural identity and values into your therapy. My therapy approach is collaborative in nature as I strive to understand who you are and your unique concerns.
