A Practice Built on Understanding Growth
Cool Creek Counseling helps children, teens, and young adults build the inner strength to feel like themselves again, while supporting the families walking alongside them.
A Message from Julie
I'm so glad you're here. I started Cool Creek Counseling in 2018 as a solo practice, and what began with just me has grown into a team of eight therapists who share the same belief: kids and teens deserve therapy built specifically for how they process the world.
We've grown mostly through word of mouth, referrals from families, schools, and other professionals who've seen what happens when a child finally has a space that fits them. I'd love the chance to get to know you and your family too.
