Mind and Body Therapy

My name is Julie McGinley, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Gainesville, FL. I am grateful and honored to work with each of my patients. It takes courage and vulnerability to move towards healing and make changes. You do not need someone to fix you, but you do need a witness to your story. Please know that you are not alone!

Much of our work together will be relational psychotherapy, integrated with EMDR, IFS, somatic, and attachment-based interventions. I have an MA degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, am trained in EMDR (Advanced), am a Somatic Trauma Therapies Practitioner, and owner of Mind and Body Therapy.

I use my compassion and skills to work with individuals of all populations and cultures to process trauma, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, verbal and emotional abuse, assault, neglect, narcissistic relationships, depression, anxiety, dissociation, fatigue, and grief. I am passionate about forming trusting, meaningful relationships and helping individuals discover their self-worth to find joy in life as an embodied human. My counseling approach is neuropsychoanalytically based, intersubjective, and encompasses interpersonal neurobiology.

I love spending time at the ocean with my husband and children, watching funny movies, laughing with friends, yoga, pilates, and strength training. And I may be just a little obsessed with coffee, chocolate, and classic British novels. I also have a BA in Information Technology, and an MS in Business and Organizational Leadership, and in my prior career, I was an IT Project Manager at Pfizer, Inc.

Individual and couples counseling is available both in-person and virtually. Please reach out via the link above for a free consultation, or contact me by phone or email for an initial intake session to begin counseling.
