LSWAIC (She/Her)

I believe there is a significant difference between “all are welcome here” & “This was created with you in mind.” I believe therapy is like this. We will work together to find what works best for you and make it your space. I’m casual in my approach, but serious about helping clients.

Julia Schetky Disclosure Statement

I come to A Better Way as an LMCHA/LSWAIC with a background of over 15 years of psycho-social crisis management experience with youth and adults within the nonprofit sector. As a camp director, manager, and teen programs director, I spent countless hours working with youth and young adults as they navigated through difficult life challenges such as divorce, abuse, difficult relationships, and turbulent emotional issues, typically around a campfire, or up in the trees.

My approach pulls from many different lenses and modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, motivational interviewing, and cognitive processing therapy.  What does that mean?  I adapt many different styles to fit your needs!

I come into the zoom room with a curious mind to learn more about the stories you bring.  My goal is for you to find your voice and inner healing.  Adrienne Brown says “move at the speed of trust.”  I will always move at the speed of trust, allowing for the relationship to move at the pace you set. I believe that everyone has the innate ability to heal, grow and learn, and I am here to walk alongside you as you move through that process.

First, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor. We build a relationship based on mutual trust to do great work together as a team.

Second, I believe that always sitting far apart in a forced distance from a client isn’t ideal. I love to kick off my shoes, get comfortable and connect about what is going on in your world. This often involves removing the formality of an office-like environment. We might sit on the floor to get grounded. If you are experiencing something particularly hard and need a hand to hold, you are not alone. 

I believe there is a significant difference between “all are welcome here” & “this was created with you in mind.”  I believe therapy is like this. We will work together to find what works best for you, and make it your space.  I am excited to learn your story, and walk alongside you on the path to healing.
