Julie A. Derry, Ed.D, LPC, LAC

Julie is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. Julie received her Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Denver Seminary in 2012.

I spent seven years as an Assoc. Professor at the University of St. Thomas, in St. Paul, MN, where I co-taught an Aquinas’ Scholars course for 4.5 years, entitled “Women IN Their Bodies,” with both a national presentation and journal article resulting from this course. I have a very unique background, education, training, and passion to work with individuals struggling with any of the following issues. My areas of expertise include: Eating Disorders/Disordered Eating (8-years experience), Intuitive Eating Certified Therapist, Trauma/PTSD/Anxiety, and Valued-Living. As a NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer, I have 20-years’ of experience working with adolescents and adults in the health and wellness arena and eight years of experience working with eating disorder patients in residential, partial hospital and intensive outpatient program settings. My education background includes a Master of Science in Exercise and Sport Science, a Doctorate in Pedagogy with an emphasis in Physical Activity, and a Master of Arts in Counseling. I have completed additional trainings in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Well-being, Intuitive Eating Certification, and Licensed Addiction Counseling, and trauma/PTSD with Trauma Dynamics.

In addition, research has shown the value of integrating one’s spirituality and/or faith belief system into the mental, emotional, and physical dimensions of a client’s healing process. This option is always available to those clients who want this integration piece in their counseling sessions. Please call 303.960.5677 to schedule a free 30-minute consultation to see if we might work well together. The phone call is the first step toward healing and recovery.
