Julia Lilly, MA

Hi! I’m proud of you for taking this step. It takes a lot of courage to seek help when you need it.

My name is Julia Lilly, and I am a Provisionally Licensed Counselor here at Graceway Counseling Center. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a certificate of Violence, Loss, and Trauma from Marshall University. I am currently working under the supervision of an Approved Licensed Professional Supervisor (ALPS) as I complete my licensure requirements. I specialize in working with individuals of all ages facing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, personal growth, and more. I hope after training I will work with those struggling with eating disorders in the future.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process as if we are in a car together. You are in charge of directing the “wheel” or the session, and my role is to sit by your side, experiencing what you are experiencing and helping you reach your “destination” of self-discovery and emotional well-being. We will work together to recognize your strengths, address challenges, and build the tools necessary for you to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life. Whether you’re dealing with a particular obstacle or seeking guidance through life’s transitions, I’m here to support you in finding the clarity, healing, and peace you deserve. My approaches range from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and more. I plan to extend this list in the future as I grow as a counselor.

As for my personal life, I’m married to my wonderful husband, Michael and together, we’ve recently embraced the excitement of a new puppy and a new home. My strong support system of friends and family plays a key role in my journey, and I believe in the power of connection and personal growth. I’m passionate about self-care, especially skincare, taking walks outdoors, and enjoying cozy movie nights with my husband.

I look forward to meeting you!
