Hello, there!

If you’re someone seeking self-growth, I’d be honored to be a part of your journey. I believe that each individual’s path is unique, shaped by inner strength and determination.

As an Associate Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience, I’m deeply passionate about supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I work with a wide range of concerns, with particular care around anxiety, racial identity, and life stressors. Above all, I aim to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard and understood.

I take a client-centered approach, always aligning our work with your goals and aspirations. Choosing to start therapy is a meaningful step — a commitment to your mental health and well-being — and I’m here to walk alongside you as you take that step.

✅ I am currently accepting new clients.

Julia Long, Registered  Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor
Supervised by Jennifer Oliphant, LCSW

Are you ready for therapy that's engaging and goal-driven? I’m a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor who works primarily with teens and adults navigating OCD, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges.

My approach is active and collaborative (i.e., I won’t just nod and listen!). I’m here to work with you to identify what’s already working in your life and build from there using evidence-based tools. Whether we’re reframing distorted thoughts through cognitive restructuring or grounding in the present moment with mindfulness and acceptance, we’ll work together to create a concrete, personalized plan for your growth.

In addition to individual therapy, I offer specialized group therapy for OCD (young adults) and depression (teen girls). I’ve been providing school-based mental health services at Eureka High School since 2022, and I continue to expand my work in the broader community through six-week Solution-Focused Brief Therapy intensives during the summer.

I believe that therapy should feel practical, empowering, and purposeful - and I’m here to help you reconnect with your core strengths and move toward the life you want.

✅ I am currently accepting new clients.

Rate: $100/session

Julia is currently accepting private pay clients, she can offer a super bill and Medi-Cal insurance will be accepted soon, enrollment is in progress.

River Qiriazi, Registered  Associate Social Worker

Welcome — I'm glad you're here.

As a therapist, I believe that every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether you're navigating life transitions, identity exploration, past trauma, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I’m here to walk alongside you. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that healing begins with self-compassion. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to explore, grow, and reconnect with your authentic self. Together, we'll build a relationship grounded in trust, and from there, work toward meaningful change and deeper self-acceptance.

I have over eight years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those impacted by the foster care system, adoptees, LGBTQ+ communities, neurodivergent individuals, disabled adults, and more. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I also incorporate creative approaches for those who feel drawn to artistic expression.

Whether you're seeking support for a specific challenge or simply looking for a space to reflect and grow, I welcome you — just as you are.
