Meet Julie Mahoney, LPC, LMHC About the Practice A Secure Base, LLC was founded on a simple belief: real change happens through connection first, skills second. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), licensed in Florida and South Carolina, and serving out-of-network nationwide, with over 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families. My work spans outpatient, inpatient, school, in-home, and family-law settings, and I bring a warm, direct, and practical, goal-oriented approach to every session. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, big emotions, parent-child conflict, or a difficult family transition, I'll help you build real understanding — and real tools — for lasting change.
