Julie Black, LMHC
Therapist
(she/her)
“After every session, my hope is that kids, teens, and their parents leave feeling a little lighter, more hopeful, and more confident in their ability to weather life’s storms. I try to be the kind of person who sees the best in others and helps them discover that same light within themselves. When people truly begin to see the best in themselves, I believe they act in ways that honor that truth and stop getting in their own way.”

About Julie Black, LMHC
Julie Black is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) at Brightline’s Lake Success clinic. Julie specializes in supporting kids, adolescents, and young adults who experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and challenges related to low self-esteem or self-worth — often stemming from bullying or other difficult life circumstances.
Julie’s approach is collaborative and person-centered, grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and the belief that therapy should feel like a partnership. She views the kids, teens, and parents she works with as the experts on their own lives, and herself as someone who can provide the tools, support, and perspective.
Julie believes in the power of resilience and self-awareness.. When kids take the time to process their emotions, access their strengths, and practice positive coping skills, they can transform not only how they see themselves but how they show up in the world. She works to create a safe, compassionate space where families feel genuinely heard and understood, one where healing feels both empowering and achievable.

What is a therapist?
Our therapists have earned their master's degree in social work, psychology, marriage and family therapy, or counseling. They are independently licensed. They are qualified to do therapy and diagnostic evaluations (when they have their diagnostic privilege credential for some license types). Therapists do not prescribe medication, but they are able to directly refer families who need that service to a Brightline psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner.
