Julia Sokulski
Counselling Therapist
Quick Glance:
Hi there! My name is Julia (she/her), and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor - Qualifying with a penchant for diving deep into the many complexities of life. Personhood brings with it many non-black-and-white experiences that can sometimes be difficult to navigate on our own, especially when we are required to traverse the metaphorical grey for answers, closure, and (most importantly) healing.

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that we all possess capacity for navigating this greyness and finding wholeness; sometimes though, we just need a little help in charting our course. With that, it is my mission to be your co-navigator in your journey toward healing. I offer my experience, curiosity, empathy, and ever-growing knowledge of trauma-informed modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) as tools to use along your trek. Through our work together, I hope to help you arrive safe and sound at the life and Self you have always wanted.

While excited to work alongside any individual requiring support, I specialize in working
with adult or adolescent individuals who…
• Struggle with body image and confidence
• Are navigating social, academic, and online stresses
• Are confronted with grief and death
• Have anxiety or are highly sensitive
• Have borderline personality
• Face issues surrounding sexuality, sexual identity, and sexual confidence
• Experience spiritual and existential seeking
• Identify as women and who are seeking empowerment

My professional experience, while eclectic on paper, has been underpinned by a deep desire to help my fellow humans. Be it through working as a private educator, a behavioural interventionist for neurodivergent youth, being a volunteer at Hospice Calgary, working with disabled individuals, or even being a corporate account manager, I’ve learned that there is nowhere I would rather be than beside someone as they journey toward wellbeing.
