Julie McMullen
MS Ed, NCC, LPC
With an extensive knowledge of trauma-induced stress and anxiety, depressive disorders, and grief and loss, I approach treatment with a shared focus on reality and hope, and assist my clients in finding solutions to improve their quality of life.
I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and spent over a decade working with court adjudicated youth, earning my Master’s degree in Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania where I also became a Nationally Certified Counselor. Since that time, I’ve also become a Licensed Professional Counselor.
I work full time as a school counselor and have experience with students in all grade levels. I’ve been with Outreach since 2013 where I enjoy working with both individuals and families.
