Grounded Journey Counseling
Julie Shoup, LCSW
Welcome...
My name is Julie Shoup
I believe we all have the capacity to heal, grow and expand our ability for self-compassion. I have 10 years of experience as an individual and family therapist working with ages 10 and up, with a special passion for helping adolescents and young adults. I was raised here on Maui (H.P. Baldwin High alum), attended UH Mānoa for my bachelor's, and lived in New York City while pursuing my master's in social work. Helping the youth and families of Hawai'i grow and thrive has been a lifelong passion and having a therapy practice allows me to do that.
If you are struggling, please know that you are not alone. Seeking help is the bravest thing you can do. My goal is to help my clients feel comfortable enough to be their most authentic selves. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression and eating disorders. I also support those who are dealing with life transitions. You will get professional, culturally sensitive support that feels friendly and compassionate.
As a canoe paddler, I know that together great things are possible. And as a foster dog mom I know that being seen and cared for can be life changing.
Call or email to set up a 15-minute consult to see if I would be the right fit for you. Offering in-person and telehealth options.
