I make an effort to recognize your strengths and abilities and to work alongside you, as you consider and make desired changes. I believe that there’s power in examining our thinking and behaviors and that we aren’t meant to carry hardship alone. I’ve witnessed the ability to grow and heal through purposeful change and the therapeutic relationship. Use your motivation and my support to create a realistic plan for movement forward. **Getting connected to the right therapist shouldn't be an extra stressor in your life. Moving forward from here is easy. You're able to request a complimentary 15-minute virtual meet and greet through my website.

Some days it feels like your emotions are running the show—anxiety, irritability, or mood swings have taken the wheel and you’re just along for the ride. You feel unsteady, drained, and like you’re “too much” for everyone around you. Maybe little things blow up way bigger than they should, your chest tightens, your stomach knots, or your body just won’t chill. You’re frustrated nothing seems to stick, unsure who actually gets it, and tired of holding it all together alone. I see you, and you don’t have to do this by yourself.

You’re frustrated nothing seems to stick, unsure who actually gets it, and tired of holding it all together alone. I see you, and you don’t have to do this by yourself. I show up as myself—real, down-to-earth, and fully present—while helping you find practical ways to feel steadier and handle life without burning out. Together, we work on showing up differently for yourself, your relationships, and the life you actually want. I also bring a hormonal/reproductive lens when appropriate, because I work exclusively with women. I work with the girls who are navigating anxiety, mood swings, or intense emotions. Many are also experiencing college related stress, anxiety, or depression. Difficulty adjusting to college life, relationship stress, feeling unsure what you really even want to do with your life. Sound like you? You’re in the right place, and I’ve got you! I have immediate openings & would love to connect.

When someone asks you how you’re doing, do you just say “fine” and change the subject? ​ Do you feel like you need to smile and keep up appearances even with the people you love? If you suffer from depression, anxiety or you feel like you need to work hard to fit in and please the people around you, counseling may help. ​Counseling can bring you from a less than honest “I’m fine” to a wholehearted “I’m doing well.” ​ Our licensed therapists listen and hold space for you to see your own inherent worth and beauty. It’s our job to walk beside you and support you as you find your path. Our team of nine licensed mental health professionals have experience in working with Adults, Teens and their families. Our approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, solution focused and trauma informed. And, most importantly, we keep a strengths-based approach throughout our work together. As professional therapists, we admire the courage it takes for someone to ask for help, and we maintain a nonjudgmental outlook on each person we speak with. It is our hope that our work together will support you in your personal growth and your pursuit of a more fulfilling life.

The demands of today’s world are a lot for most people to manage without help and guidance from someone they trust. Maybe you’re not sure why you need help and that’s ok. Exploring those “whys” is a great place to start in therapy. Sessions include (but are not limited to) help with: adjusting to life changes, supporting yourself with problem solving, coping skills and distress tolerance, learning to appropriately communicate with your support system and increasing your general self-awareness and understanding of the phase of life that you’re in. While I just described most of the clients who I work with I can also help you with general life stress and anxieties, relationship challenges, mood related issues, disruptive tendencies (ie. OCD), trauma and personality issues. If you’re struggling with an issue you don’t see listed feel free to reach out to inquire more.

Welcome to Lily Mental Health! College can be one of the most exciting times of life — and also one of the hardest. Between academics, relationships, identity shifts, and the pressure to “have it all figured out,” it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. On the outside you may look like you’re managing, but inside you may be struggling with stress, burnout, or the feeling that you’re not yourself. I’ve worked with hundreds of college students who’ve faced challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, trauma, and major life transitions. Many have already tried counseling, medications, or coping strategies, but still feel stuck and want something more thoughtful, practical, and personalized. My name is Julie Bass, I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Provider (PMH-C). I have worked in mental health for over 10 years and offer a blend of medication management and integrative strategies that go beyond quick fixes. My practice is intentionally small so I can provide personalized care — not rushed diagnoses or one-size-fits-all treatment plans. I take the time to really understand your story, explore the root causes of your symptoms, and help you find sustainable ways forward. I especially enjoy working with college students navigating identity, independence, and transitions, as well as international students, who often carry the added stress of being far from home, balancing cultural expectations, and adapting to a new environment. I also know how busy student schedules can be, so I offer early morning, evening, and weekend appointments to make care more accessible. If you’ve ever thought: “I should be able to handle this, but I feel like I can’t.” “I’m doing everything right, but I still don’t feel better.” “No one seems to actually listen.” …know that you’re not alone. My practice is built on the belief that you deserve care that feels collaborative, respectful, and empowering — care that helps you understand yourself and create lasting change. This is a space where your voice matters. Let’s work together to help you feel grounded, confident, and connected again.

I graduated from The University of Georgia in 2011 with my masters in counseling; I worked as a staff therapist, suicide prevention coordinator, and disability services coordinator at Georgia Southern University and East Georgia State College respectively before going into private practice. I'm passionate about helping college students as they juggle demands and make major relationship and career decisions - it is a unique and overwhelming stage of life. I'm located near Charleston where I'm offering sessions via telehealth to GA & SC residents. Counseling can help improve communication between loved ones, support individuals adjusting to major life transitions, or develop coping skills to better manage emotions that have become distressing. I'm grateful you had the courage to explore counseling. Life is stressful at times and we can all use a safe place to receive support and feedback. It is my belief that each person has inherent value, and my goal is to encourage individuals to see their worth and facilitate them in making decisions they can reflect on with peace.

My focus I have experience in working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I enjoy working with all ages. My communication style My therapeutic environment and communication are open, non-confrontational, and judgment-free. I believe therapy is a collaborative process. My journey to mental healthcare When I was in high school, I took a Psychology class and fell in love with learning about the mind and how it works. I have always had a passion for helping others, and immediately knew that therapy was what I wanted to choose as a career. It has been the best decision I have made. My goals for you When working with clients on setting goals, I encourage them to create their own goals. I will provide input as well, and help them navigate this. I want their goals to be realistic and attainable. I want my clients to understand that therapy is their space and time to create their own goals. My first session with you In the first session I will inquire with clients what their goals are and what brings them into therapy. I will complete a biopsychosocial assessment with them and gather information to help me best meet their needs. I will introduce myself and my therapeutic approach, and allow for any questions they have.
