Hello! My name is Julie Dunbar, and I’m honored you are considering me as your therapist and a part of your healing journey of growth and self-discovery. I believe in the innate goodness of each person no matter what they’ve done, how they’ve been labeled, or what obstacles they face. I feel passionate about empowering people to break through their barriers to find a deep sense of inner confidence, peace, joy, strength, and freedom so they can overcome any challenge and accomplish their personal and professional goals. A little about me. After raising three amazing kids I went back to school to obtain my Master of Social Work from the University of Oklahoma. I always loved helping people work through their problems and decided to make it my profession. In my spare time I enjoy mountaineering, hiking, doing triathlons, playing the piano, and reading. However, my absolute favorite thing to do is spend time with my family, including my two dogs, Lucky and Z! By the way, Z is a therapy dog who comes with me to see clients. He is a gentle soul who seems to have a special knack for knowing when people need a little extra TLC. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma, relationship issues, addiction, or simply feel stuck in life, I have developed tools to help individuals, couples, and families find a sense of hope and purpose and reach their goals. These tools are founded in the “strengths-based” model, are client centered, and cover a variety of therapeutic disciplines such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused Therapy. I am also a trained EMDR therapist. Again, thank you for considering me as your therapist, and I look forward to meeting you!
