Julia Kay, MSW, LICSW   (206) 295-7707   Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
7812 Lake City Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115-4358
Niche Specialty: Counseling the depressed adolescent or adult victim / survivor of child sexual abuse.
Location: In the Maple Leaf Professional Building on the south side of Lake City Way in Northeast Seattle.
General Practice Areas: I work with children, adolescents and adults individually and as a family.  I utilize EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strength based Narrative Therapy techniques and developmental psychology to help people who have experienced trauma, physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence, anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder.  Children and adolescents who are withdrawn, isolated, irritable, unhappy, angry, acting out or overly compliant, or who obsess over little things are all demonstrating warning signs that something is wrong.  A sudden drop in performance or grades, a change in peer group, withdrawal from school or family activities, problems with sleep or energy level can all indicate an underlying problem. Arguing with parents may be a normal part of development, but arguing to the point where there is violent acting out (throwing things, hitting walls or people) or running away indicate a strong need for therapy.  I also do social skills training with youth diagnosed with Autism and Asperger syndrome.
