ABOUT THE PRACTICE

Let's Untangle It Together

Being human can be messy, and sometimes we need a little help making sense of it all. Osito Psychotherapy is a small therapy practice in Costa Mesa, California. It's a calm place to slow down, get curious about what's going on, and start feeling more like yourself again.

MY SPECIALTIES

Therapy for anxiety, OCD, & everything in between.

Do not wait for things to get "bad enough" to reach out! If OCD is part of the picture, we'll use ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), which is the approach with the most research behind it.

Hi, I'm Julia.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker #121877 · OWNER of Osito

I'm a therapist who believes we can take our mental health seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.

My approach is warm, curious, and collaborative. I'm here to help you make sense of what's keeping you stuck.

I primarily use CBT, ERP, and IFS, and provide therapy in both English and Spanish.

What's your approach to therapy?

Collaborative and practical. I use CBT, ERP, and IFS depending on what you're working on. Expect thoughtful questions, honest feedback, and the occasional laugh.
