Child and Family Therapy Intern, SPACE Counselor for Child Anxiety
Julia Camara
Julia Camara, Clinical Intern
You want harmony in your home, and in the world. You try to treat your partner and your children with love, patience, and understanding. But seeing eye to eye is harder than you thought it would be. You and your partner come from different perspectives. From different families. Maybe even from different faiths or cultures. Your child or teen is from a different generation.
It’s like you’re trapped in a cage of misunderstandings. And you want to fly free.
There is hope. We can heal ourselves and each other. If we can hear each other.
I’ll enter your world with you, and share the moment of struggle you currently feel. I’ll help you give voice to what you’re thinking. Together we will start to bring in understanding, lightheartedness, and joy.
I’ll show you new ways to connect and support each other.
You’ll move from singing different notes to building family harmony. Complimenting each other to make a beautiful sound. That dream might seem out of reach. It might feel scary to even try. I’ll show you that the uncomfortable part of the work is worth it.
We all hold within us potential for healing. We are able to heal ourselves and each other. If we can hear each other.
