Meet Julie

Julie Gray is a Mental Health Counselor with Limited Permit in New York (MHC-LP) and a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Connecticut (LPC-A). She completed her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University and also holds a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. She has extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families navigating learning differences, emotional stress, and life transitions.

Julie also serves as a facilitator for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Child and Adolescent Network (NAMI-CAN), where she leads a weekly support group for parents and caregivers of children and adolescents experiencing mental health challenges.

She works with clients in person at the Westport, CT office and virtually with clients across New York and Connecticut.

My Approach

Supportive, Collaborative & Tailored to You

Julie believes therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing or relationships. In sessions, she focuses on understanding what is getting in the way of a client’s well-being or relationship, identifying unhelpful patterns, and building practical tools to help clients move forward.

Her goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space, whether working on a relationship, navigating family challenges, supporting a young person, or simply helping clients find more clarity and peace in their own lives.

Julie’s approach is trauma-informed and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with a focus on practical, goal-oriented sessions.
