Our Practice
Sunbeam was born of a deep desire to help individuals reconsider and reconcile their relationships for a deeper sense of fulfillment and vitality in daily life. Our relationships with others, with ourselves, with substances, and behaviors, and how we relate to formative experiences in our lives can contribute tremendously, or detract greatly from the ability to feel capable of managing our emotions. At Sunbeam Psychotherapy and Wellness a treatment plan entirely unique to each individual, couple, and/or family is developed to address the emotional, relational, practical, and spiritual needs of the client. Julie Wilkes, LCSW, Owner and Clinical Director, does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. A belief in the vast spectrum of individual essence and experience is one of the core values of the practice. Other core values include authenticity, an integrated sense of self, freedom, meaning, truth, and loving-kindness.
