JULIA RESENDES
MSW RSW
Hi, I'm Julia, I’m a registered social worker and a mom to a teenager and toddler! Life can get hectic and emotion regulation and coping skills are not something we all learn. I believe in the importance of working collaboratively with families to best support the needs of their children and teens. I enjoy providing support with the development of emotion regulation techniques, distress tolerance skills, and communication strategies and feel this is an invaluable skillset that can build a strong foundation for future growth. I am a firm believer that our bodies and minds have the resource to provide healing and, in our work, together we will tap into that inner resource to develop resiliency and growth for your children, teens, and family members after a challenging or traumatic incident.
