Julianna Murphy, LMHC, LCPC

About me

I'm a licensed therapist practicing in Indiana and Illinois, dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and family conflicts, helping them build stronger communication skills and deeper self-compassion.

My approach centers on meeting you where you are—whether you're processing life transitions, working through guilt and shame, or exploring your sense of purpose and identity. I specialize in supporting young adults, women's issues, and the unique stressors that come with caregiving, chronic illness, and major life changes. I also have experience with panic disorder, social anxiety, body image concerns, and seasonal mood shifts.

I believe in creating a therapeutic space that honors your values and perspective. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices that emphasize collaboration, authenticity, and your own wisdom about your life. Together, we'll explore what's holding you back and build practical tools for moving forward with greater ease and self-love.

Starting therapy is a meaningful step, and I'm honored to support you on your journey.
