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’m passionate about helping individuals and couples work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, life transitions, self-esteem building.
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 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.
