ABOUT US
At NorthRiver Behavioral Health, we specialize in helping children, adolescents, and young adults overcome stress, anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions. With a holistic approach, we provide personalized therapy that not only equips clients with practical skills to build emotional resilience but also helps them better understand how their brains work. This deeper self-awareness enables them to confidently navigate life’s challenges, improve their well-being, and foster lasting personal growth.
Whether clients are managing school pressures, family changes, or behavioral struggles, we are here to support them on the journey to better understanding and a more fulfilling life.
In addition to individual counseling sessions for young adults and adolescents, Julie is a leading Child Therapist offering specific tools, like play therapy for children in Alabama, aged 4-12 years old.

GUIDANCE THROUGH LIFE'S DIFFICULTIES
I started NorthRiver Behavioral Health when I recognized the increasing need for tailored support for children, adolescents, and young adults—especially those who felt that medication was their only option.
I believe there are many other ways to improve mental health and eliminate unwanted behaviors. The key lies in understanding how your brain works, and how to best treat it and use it.
By exploring holistic approaches, behavior modification, and practical tools, I help my clients build lasting resilience and create real, sustainable change in their lives.​​
