Julie Ceigler(She/Her/Hers)

Julie Ceigler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Hyattsville, MD who welcomes young adults and adults into her practice. Julie specializes in supporting members of the LGBTQ community, particularly those who would like to process through how societal biases impact their mental health. She also works with individuals who face chronic illnesses, eating disorders, and navigating life transitions such as starting or ending school, changing careers, or becoming a parent. 

Julie helps clients to implement coping strategies that help them through their current stressors, offering ideas and examples to find what’s most effective. With time, clients learn how to reframe previously negative situations with realistic positivity. Common harmful thought patterns get unwound in sessions with the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and change becomes more tangible with specific skills from DBT or applied knowledge. With Julie’s support, clients feel empowered to reach their mental health goals. 

Julie earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from University of Georgia and brings over 10 years of experience into her private practice. She understands how distressing feeling stuck can be and aims to provide the empathetic guidance that her clients need to feel in control over their lives. Her grounding belief is that a diagnosis – whether physical or mental health – doesn't need to hold clients back from engaging in a fulfilling, joy-filled life.
