Julie Estrada - Balanced Counseling of San Antonio

Julie Estrada, LPC, LCDC, NCC

I am a Licensed professional counselor and chemical dependency counselor. I provide trauma-informed, culturally sensitive therapy. With experience in diverse settings, I have helped individuals from a wide range of cultural and spiritual backgrounds navigate challenges from everyday stress to severe mental health issues.

My expertise encompasses trauma recovery, addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger management, premarital and couples counseling, and increasing motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I have additional training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), the Flash Technique, the Gottman Method, Prepare Enrich, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I am passionate about guiding those who feel stuck in the past, are facing life transitions, or are working on self-improvement toward creating meaningful and fulfilling

lives.

I believe that compassion and strong relationships are essential to the healing process. My holistic approach to counseling fosters a safe, open, and validating environment where thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can be expressed without fear of judgment. I understand that we do not navigate life’s challenges alone and that everyone possesses unique strengths to overcome obstacles. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling, purpose-driven life takes courage, and I would be honored to support and empower you on that journey.
