Welcome
My name is Julia Leavitt and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist working in California. I offer virtual therapy services and consulting services for practitioners looking to create support programs for adolescents and young adults (AYAs), and adults.
Seeking Support
If you’ve found yourself on my website, it’s likely you’ve received a diagnosis of cancer or are experiencing a major life transition and are looking for help navigating the changes you face. I want to applaud you for taking the brave step of seeking support.
My Approach
For over a decade I have supported individuals and their support systems navigate the distress and challenges of a cancer diagnosis or major life transition, both in hospital and outpatient clinic settings. First and foremost, I view therapy as a partnership. I endeavor to meet my clients where they are and provide a safe environment for them to process their emotions as they embark on their unique path of self-discovery.
My Specialties
Though I specialize in working with AYAs and adults facing cancer, I have extensive experience working on issues of:
- Self-esteem
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Anticipatory Grief
- Bereavement
- Women's Health
- Reproductive Health
If you’ve found yourself confronted by any of these challenges, I’d love to hear from you to see if I might be the right fit.
