Julia Schiffman

Associate Clinical Social Worker
Masters in Social Work for University of Southern California, Bachelors of Arts in Theology and Religious Studies Emphasis in Eastern Religions from University of San Diego; ASW #77096, Supervised by John McConnell, PSY #10673

I have experience working with gender, relational, and sexually diverse individuals and am knowledgeable about sexual health and wellness topics. I work with individuals, couples, and consenting non-monogamy-poly relationships. I have a background in working with adolescents and primarily work with adults. I believe in starting wherever the client, couple, or family unit is and enjoy working with the overlapping identities and orientations we carry into the different parts of our lives.

I work from an open and non-judgemental framework where I have an understanding of the challenges and unique aspects that come with being a part of these communities. I often use cognitive behavior therapy and psychodynamic therapy to improve mood and increase happiness by instilling awareness and identifying unwanted thoughts and behaviors, as well as, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing along with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to eliminate relational and intimate distress.

Overall, I can address a broad range of topics from depression and anxiety to relational and intimacy challenges. Wherever you are on your journey, I would be honored to be your guide to a healthier, happier you.
