Julia Gurzi
Hi, I am Julia Gurzi. I am a therapist at Orange County Therapy. I know that reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and I want you to know—you don’t have to do this alone. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who truly gets you, not a clinical process filled with judgment or pressure. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative—you bring your experiences, and I’ll bring my expertise in guiding healing and growth. My practice is also inclusive and affirming of all identities, and I am fully aligned with the LGBTQ+ community.
For over a decade, I’ve worked with couples and families, gaining deep insight into the ways societal pressures and past experiences shape our relationships and mental health. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply need a space to process what’s going on, I’m here to help you find clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.
I received my M.A. in Clinical Psychology with a focus in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University and my B.S. in Human Development from California State University, Fullerton. Additionally, I have specialized training in Brainspotting, a powerful tool that helps process trauma and emotional distress that are correlated with unprocessed memories and feelings. It is especially helpful for anxiety, trauma, and performance-related issues. I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, life transitions, self-esteem building.
I currently offer In-Person sessions in Costa Mesa, CA, and Telehealth sessions throughout California. Let's schedule a free 5-15 minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to connect and support you on your path to healing.
