"Julieann's guidance in conjunction with the EMDR tool helped me to rapidly process some emotional issues I'd been grappling with for some time. Her understanding of the technique combined with her natural ability to listen provided me with fertile ground for gaining self-awareness. EMDR helped me to march through realization upon realization about my behavior patterns that had kept me stymied."
Steve- Age 52
Prior to meeting Julieann I was judgmental and skeptical about therapists after previously having a "bad encounter." As once being a happy and confident individual, I found myself lost, alone and unfamiliar in my own skin. I came to her as a last ditch effort for help. Upon our first meeting, I immediately felt her sincerity, trustworthiness and support. She is exceptionally caring and truly professional yet down to earth. I always felt safe and comfortable with her and she helped me build my confidence, strength and ability to believe in myself again. Most importantly she was able to provide me with reassurance as I walked done a navigated a path of unfamiliar territory. I realized I am not alone in my journey and I feel she is "heaven sent and feel very fortunate to have found her."
Terri, Age 39
With Julieann's help I somehow let go of my perception of myself and made new one's that are closer to the truth of my soul. She guided me to feel moments in my life that laid the foundation for the concept of "who I was," and helped me evaporate them and helped me find "who I am" now. With your words and the EMDR "device." I have made more progress than I had in years of therapy before. I am grateful to Julieann than little words can ever convey. I am not trying to lose weight anymore and alcohol has lost it's charm. Life is better without the distractions. I am able now to notice as an observer when my mid starts to go with fear or other feelings and recognize it is my mind creating the "drama." Then I make a choice of how I want to feel and it happens. Anxiety leaves, and I am me again! Julieann is an amazing counselor, her heart, caring and gentle eyes... everything she is, is healing. I am really happy now because of you!
Veronica, Age 53
As a Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialist with Prescriptive Authority, I always thought I had to know it ALL! Then I was diagnosed with Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder at the age of 57 years old. The real gift of this diagnosis was the referral I received to my ADD Coach, Julieann. In my very first visit with Julieann I learned about structure and setting priorities for ONLY myself - a lesson I will never forget! That was about 5 years ago, and I continue to work with Julieann because it just makes "good sense."
Like a coach in Sports, Julieann is coach on my sideline, always cheering me on, always sending in opportune plays, then offers exquisite feedback when I think I have not executed my plays very well. My coach, Julieann does not keep score on touchdowns or fumbles- rather she continues to give me encouragement to SIMPLY stay in the game, and play for the enjoyment of the game. (I visualize her with bright colored pom-poms yelling through a great big megaphone: "look at you-look at you go Marge" Why would I want to give that up!

Read what client's say about Consultation Services, Program Development and Staff Training
"Last year I participated in trainings provided by Julieann Myers for the EXCEL group. Our cohort focused on the treatment and diagnosis of individuals with co-occurring substance abuse and psychiatric disorders. Julieann provided materials and insight into the question of co-occurring disorders that was both timely and clinically sound. I found her strengths-based approach compassionate and consistent with SAMHSA guidelines for the treatment of this population. Especially invaluable were the coaching sessions that she provided to staff to help them tailor their training experience to fit their particular professional situation.
I strongly recommend that any Human Services Manager consider Julieann Myers when they make plans for staff development. She will facilitate both the personal and professional growth of your staff."

My clinical supervision with Julieann was more than I ever could have ever expected. I found her support, expertise and guidance invaluable in my development as a professional counselor. She has helped me become a more confident, skilled and ethical counselor. Julieann is well trained in many aspects of counseling and has a vast knowledge of different theoretical orientations. Her ability to explore with me the different theories available to help my clients was not only challenging but also beneficial. She offers other supplemental opportunities to promote your development as well such as co-teaching college courses or helping her plan and/or observe some of the professional trainings she provides nationally. She is an outstanding role model for anyone becoming a counselor or thinking of starting a private practice. Her encouraging style helps you push aside your fears and insecurities and allows you to become the proficient counselor you want to be. I found her easy to approach and always ready to explore any questions and concerns. She is supportive of your struggles and is there to celebrate your achievements. Juliann’s style is very easygoing, flexible, comforting, challenging, and encouraging. She has become much more than just a “clinical supervisor”...I am proud to consider her my mentor. David B. Friedentag, M.A., LPC, MAC

I have been seeing Julieann for the past year and a half. In this time, Julieann has helped me overcome obstacles by focusing on changes I can make to improve myself as an independent woman and as a mother. I have overcome addiction, withdrawn myself from an unhealthy work environment, joined organizations that help people in crisis, gotten more involved with parenting issues, and learned to set boundaries for myself and to set goals for my future in a realistic manner. Julieann helped me build the confidence I needed in order to achieve these things and guides me in maintaining a healthy balance of everything in the hustle and bustle of every day life. Julieann is down to earth, sincerely interested in helping others, and projects positive energy. I admire Julieann on both a professional and personal level. She is truly an inspiration to me.
