Julia Halford
Therapy and Spiritual Direction

​If you have found your way to my website, I imagine you are at a juncture in your life that has you looking for help and guidance. 


Perhaps it is a particular event or crisis that has led you to seek support and healing.  Or perhaps you are noticing a desire to explore your relationship with God. I am grateful you are reaching out for support. 

 

It is my experience that these crossroads in life can become great sources of change.  Meeting these challenges with curiosity and courage can energize and shape our lives in new and life giving directions.

About Me

I hold a License as a Marriage and Family Therapist, Tennessee License 1009 and a Certificate of Spiritual Direction.  My private practice is in Franklin, Tennessee.  I am a member of the Nashville Area Association of Christian Counselors and am active in Spiritual Direction Education and Supervision Groups.

 

My career has included serving as a church youth leader, working as a paralegal, teaching Latin, working for an environmental non-profit in membership and event management, and managing a medical practice.

 

While each of these work experiences were rewarding and valuable, I found myself eager for the opportunity to pursue my true heart’s desire-accompanying others on their journeys of emotional and spiritual growth and healing. This desire has led to my work as a therapist and spiritual director.

​

​While not at work, I enjoy time with my husband of 42 years and our three adult children and their families- which includes five granddaughters and a grandson. I also enjoy hiking, swimming, practicing yoga, and being involved with my church community.
