Julia Bickerstaff, MS, LPC

My practice specializes in the treatment of OCD and related disorders, particularly anxiety disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, and body-focused repetitive behaviors such as skin-picking and hair-pulling. These are diagnoses I work with on a daily basis, as almost all of my clients meet criteria for one of more of the above diagnoses.

I have specialized in this area for the last three years. I’ve previously worked at two specialty private practices, and I also attended specialized workshops and conferences. Over the last three years, I’ve also received supervision from three senior providers in the field.

I am very passionate about ensuring my clients feel safe and welcome during our sessions. During my intake process and throughout treatment, I inquire about cultural identities and religious practices, and explore whether or not the client would like these identities or related practices incorporated into treatment.
