• Welcome, you’ve come a long way. My name is Juliana Vassolo and I’m an integrative psychotherapist, digital artist, and pioneer in the treatment of complex trauma.

    • It means I views human suffering and growth through the lens of few scientific, psychological, and philosophical perspectives. This ensures we restore inner calm in a timely fashion, while honoring your individual style, pace, and preferences.

    • I come from a lineage of complex trauma survivors turned advocates, healers, and artists.

      My interest in psychology stems from my natural gift to console, personal experience living through complex trauma, and navigating the aftereffects.

      When I’m not seeing clients, I create digital collages inspired by my mental health journey and those of my clients. My daily practice consists of work-life harmony, yoga, intermittent fasting, minimalism, gratitude, slow-living, and ordinary kindness.

      Fun fact: I’m an aspiring micro-dweller with plans to live sustainably and host affordable retreats for complex trauma survivors to experience healing in community and nature.

    • I’m a trauma-informed, feedback-driven clinician with a humanistic approach that blends hard science, psychology, and ancient wisdom. This includes: neuroscience, bilateral stimulation, somatic experiencing, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, guided imagery, internal family systems, and expressive techniques.

      I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Central Florida, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Philosophy from the University of Florida. Additionally, I am certified in Clinical Trauma, Somatic Parts Work, and Play Therapy.

  • Individual Therapy

    My approach to individual therapy is grounded in honesty, trust, and humor. 

    I specialize in:

    • identity disturbances (e.g. fragile sense of self, disconnection from self, uncertainty about one’s own thoughts, feelings, and memories)

    • emotional blocks and barriers (e.g. feelings of chronic self-doubt, numbness, anxiety, depression, distrust, on edge, unworthiness, anger, loneliness, shame)

    • relationship challenges (e.g. rejection sensitivity, difficulty with boundaries and trusting even when surrounded by well-meaning people, staying in prolonged toxic relationships)

    • woman’s mental health issues (e.g. martyrdom, self-silencing, “loss of self”)

    • early parenting (e.g. fostering inner discipline, creative problem-solving, self-awareness in children). 

    I help sensitive adults (ages 24-64) restore a sense of stability and calm, rediscover their sense of self, and relearn to trust their own judgment, feelings, and perceptions again.

    Starting 3/29/25, I am accepting new clients from Florida.

  • Insurance

    I accept the following insurance plans for individual therapy:

    • Carelon Behavioral Health

    If you don’t see your insurance listed here or prefer not to use insurance, I also offer a sliding scale fee, which is designed to accommodate different financial situations.

    Private Pay

    I offer flexible appointment options to make therapy more accessible. I have a limited number of sliding scale spots, with fees ranging from $75 to $95 per online session and $100 to $120 per in-home or in-nature therapy.

    My premium fee for a 55-minute online session is $100. My premium fee for a 55-minute in-home or in-nature session is $125.

    Please consider contacting me if you have any questions about insurance or payment options. I’m happy to help clarify the process and ensure that therapy is accessible for you.
