About Me

Julia Rizzo, Licensed Psychologist

Julia Rizzo, PsyD

Licensed Psychologist

Greetings! I am a generalist-trained counseling psychologist in Atlanta, Ga with several years of experience working with college students. This includes specialized training in working with student-athletes and teams. While I really enjoy working with older adolescents and young adults, I have experience working with folks of all ages. My main areas of experience and interest include relational concerns, identity exploration, mood disorders, and trauma

In session we will work together with the understanding that you are the expert on yourself and my role is to support your growth. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change, and I foster a trusting and brave space for self-exploration and understanding. I also trust that clients possess internal resources to help them navigate challenging experiences. Thus, part of our work together is to nurture and develop those resources so that they can be confidently implemented. I work from interpersonal and feminist orientations to examine relational dynamics and patterns. Through these frameworks I consider how the impact of societal systems affects clients’ identities, current experiences, world views, and the therapeutic relationship.
