Licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 1984, Julie Morrell has spent four decades helping San Diegans navigate relationship challenges, trauma, and anxiety from her Counseling Connection office at 2207 Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach, 92109. A native San Diegan, Morrell is certified in EMDR therapy, a specialized protocol effective for reprocessing trauma, PTSD, phobias, and grief. Her practice areas include couples counseling, pre-marital therapy, anger and depression management, addiction recovery, relapse prevention, and dating guidance. Residents exploring additional mental health support in Pacific Beach can also connect with BrightMind Therapy nearby in the neighborhood. Morrell offers Christian counseling perspectives for clients who prefer a faith-informed approach, and colleagues in the San Diego therapy community regularly refer trauma cases to her practice. She sees clients in person at the Garnet Avenue office, conveniently located between La Jolla and Ocean Beach, and also provides virtual sessions for established patients who prefer teletherapy. A warm pastry or espresso from The French Gourmet on Turquoise Street can ease the drive home after a session. The office features wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, and appointments are recommended.
