Julia Ward, LPC
Professional Journey
_edited.jpg)
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia (LIC# 0701012570), originally from Pennsylvania and now over 15 years into calling Virginia home. Before becoming a therapist, I spent a decade in the marketing world, first in product development and later in healthcare. That chapter gave me deep insight into how people operate, but I felt called to do something more personal. While working full-time, I returned to school to become a counselor, and I've never looked back.
If you're curious about working with me, please schedule a free phone consultation. Starting counseling isn’t always easy- let’s start with a brief phone call to see if we're a good match. If not, I’ll do my best to help you find someone who might be. Finding the right fit makes all the difference.
