About me
I am an Individual, Couple and Family Counselor licensed in the State of Indiana. My undergraduate degree is in Marriage and Family Relations. My Master's Degree is in Counseling Psychology, and my doctoral work is also in Counseling Psychology. I have been a professional counselor for 35 years. I have served numerous clients, with a variety of life issues during this time, including anxiety, depression, relationship/intimacy, parenting concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and domestic violence, as well as many others. I have a special interest in helping nurture, strengthen and heal intimate relationships. With emphases on mutual respect; effective communication and conflict resolution skills; understanding what each brings to the relationship; and relationship dynamics; I love working with couple clients to help serve the best interests of their relationship.
My primary counseling style is very relational and respectful. I believe that all persons deserve kindness, sensitivity and understanding. My therapeutic approach includes cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive and psychoeducational styles. While I would never impose my values or beliefs on anyone, I am a Christian who is comfortable providing biblically-based counseling. I tailor this to each client's request and theology. I have served numerous clients who are of other faiths, or no faith, over the years. Applying biblical principals is as individual as any other aspect of the assistance I provide to each unique client.
I love helping others experience growth and health, in themselves and in their relationships. Seeking assistance in this process can be a bit intimidating, and I applaud you for taking this step. I very much look forward to meeting you and helping you in any way I am able.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Julie Dodson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
I appreciate the guidance she has given my wife and I so far.
Julie has been absolutely wonderful. Truly the best marriage therapist we’ve ever had. She listens so well, provided such great feedback and advice and exercises for us to work on outside of our hour long session, and also is lovingly firm in expecting us to hold to our end of the bargain, so to speak. She is very understanding and as flexible as she possibly can be. I hope we do not need therapy forever, but would gladly stay with Julie as long as we need to! Highly recommend Julie and give her 10/10!!
Julie has been absolutely wonderful and in a very short amount of time has helped me to remember some skills I already had and has given me some new insight to incorporate into my life and routine. It has really helped to alleviate the mental and emotional load I have been carrying around that has convoluted my life. She is very wise and a great listener. I have appreciated having her in my corner.
Julie has been a tremendous help for me through a difficult time, and continues to help us strengthen our relationship.
Julie is excellent! A great listener, mediator and coach. She provides realistic, practical advice to suit the specific challenges you may be facing as a couple.
Julie is very patient and kind. She was aware how nervous I am about counseling and tried very hard to make me feel comfortable.
Wonderful caring and well trained she’s educated and very involved. Takes time to listen even if it’s just to vent.
Julie is very polite, kind, and professional! She also presents herself in a very professional manner! She is also not one-sided ,meaning she doesn’t choose sides when it comes to my wife and I.
Julie Dodson is the kind of person I would like to be able to deal with on a regular basis. She is kind, respectful, attentive, offers good points without interruption and is professional about her work. I would recommend her to everyone.
A++ Counselor!
Working with Julie has been great! She’s been so helpful. Looking forward to our future sessions.
She listens and provided good feedback!
Julie is certainly helpful and thoughtful to consider both sides. I took on her services for mother and daughter counseling and we have certainly seen progress in our relationship and ability to communicate with one another. I like that she does not take sides but really weighs what is being said and focuses on helping each person improve themselves and focus on their actions over the other persons. I certainly recommend Julie.
Julie is great. She offers sound guidance and offers plenty of ways to help you resolve your issues.
She is very professional and well equipped for this assignment
Julie is very open, warm, and thoughtful. She has a whole bunch of examples and helpful tips to share when problems are brought up.
I immediately feel comfortable sharing info with her that I'd otherwise keep to myself. She is a wonderful combination of professional and caring!
She is great. I think she has helped us and has give us good tool to work on our marriage. I really appreciate her support.
