Julie VonderHaar
Psychotherapist - LPC
I am an outpatient therapist in Charlotte, NC with 20 years of experience in individual, family and group counseling. I believe our greatest healing and wisdom emerges from our dealing with our challenges, and we all have challenges! Often when we are overwhelmed by life, children, or a tragedy we isolate ourselves from those who can help us most. Rather than reaching out for help, we often resort to less healthy ways of managing challenges that often make the situation worse.My passion is working with people during these times to support them in seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. By providing a safe and non-judging environment, I support clients in exploring skillful ways to respond to life’s challenges. I feel honored to help guide clients toward growth and healing.In addition to working with clients individually, I also offer groups for teens. I offer an 8-week stress reduction course for middle and high school students to support them in replacing ineffective behaviors and thoughts with healthy responses. In this fun and engaging course, students report improvement in focus and attention, academics, test takiing, peer/famliy relationships as well as making better choices.
