Julia Ris Therapy

Welcome! Bienvenidxs! Thank you for visiting my website. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in San Diego, CA offering EMDR healing intensives, individual therapy, couples therapy and family therapy. I am passionate about creating strong and loving relationships with ourselves, each other and our communities. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA communities, multiracial/multiethnic communities and those wishing to heal personal, communal and intergenerational trauma. I offer therapy in English and Spanglish. I welcome culture, spirituality and nature-based practices into healing. My approach is authentic, kind, effective, intuitive, welcoming and dynamic. I am dedicated to helping you heal, feel alive and joyful. I am honored to work with individuals, couples and families using an open, warm and collaborative style. Throughout life many of us may experience depression, anxiety or find that our relationships are struggling at times. Trauma, grief, anger and intergenerational patterns show up in our lives making it difficult to find a new way. We may struggle with feeling like we don’t fully belong in our families or we may be unsure how to balance the expectations of our cultures with our needs. At times, we may have a hard time finding and using our voices. We may want to learn more about who we are and love ourselves more fully. I am here to help support you through these challenges and more. I received a Masters of Science in Multicultural Community Counseling from San Diego State University in 2016 and have worked in community mental health and private practice since 2014. Please contact me for a phone consultation or to answer any questions you may have.
