Julia Deininger is a therapist at Leek Therapy working with college students, young professionals, and adults of all ages navigating anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, grief, life transitions, identity concerns, and relationship challenges. Julia's approach is warm, welcoming, and collaborative. She focuses on building strong therapeutic relationships that help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their backgrounds, identities, values, and life experiences. She prioritises psychological safety while constructively challenging unhelpful beliefs and habits, helping clients become more intentional about their behaviours and create meaningful, sustainable change. Where therapeutically appropriate, she brings humour into the process because she believes lightness has a genuine place in healing. Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they feel genuinely heard. Julia begins by taking time to understand each client as a whole person — their family dynamics, current relationships, cultural influences and personal motivations and builds from there through ongoing collaboration and feedback. Julia offers in-person sessions at the Boston office and telehealth throughout Massachusetts, with flexible scheduling to meet your needs.
