Julie Fortenberry, MAMFT, LAPC, LAMFT

Julie received her master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis on Sex Therapy from Richmont Graduate University (formerly PSI).  She also holds a bachelor’s degree from Auburn University in psychology.

Julie has worked with a wide variety of issues in the counseling field. Through her work at Skyland Trail, she gained insight into working with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and major depressive disorder. At the Hope Counseling Center and The Center at Mount Paran North, she was able to work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, sexual trauma, and spirituality.

 In session, Julie utilizes a variety of theories depending on the issues and the individual, couple, or family. She takes an integrated and holistic approach, learning to understand each individual in terms of their family of origin, life stages, current circumstances and relationships, as all of these are important parts of the therapy process. She uses the therapist-client relationship to gain insight into other aspects of the individual’s life.  Julie understands the importance of integrating her therapy with other professional assistance. When necessary, she will advise a client and work with them to seek parallel support from other professionals. Her desire is that clients have a safe and inviting place to pursue change and growth in their lives. 

Julie is a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (#APC002520) and is under the direction and supervision of Vilda Brannen, M.S., LPC. She is also a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (#AMFT000191).
