Julia Karrys
Licensed Associate Therapist
Hey! I’m Julia.
Being a therapist is a privilege. It’s one of the hardest things in life to fall apart. Life comes at you fast and sometimes there is nothing you can do in that moment but survive.
Our work together will be about you putting those broken pieces back together and making something meaningful out of all the pain. Therapy is a creative and collaborative process for me – I invite a lot of options to try and experiment. Most of our traumas and struggle live in our body and our emotions – and often there are no words – so we will take our time and find what you need.
What comes to mind when you think of therapy?
“When I think of therapy, I think of safety. A place free of judgement and bias, where each person is met with complete acceptance to be exactly who they are, flaws and all.” – Julia

What is Internal Family Systems?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is the fancy therapy modality name for “parts work”. The main idea is that each person has many “parts” within – and each of them has a job to do – just like a regular family system. In life, we learn and adapt to our surroundings – that means that our “parts” each find a way to help us survive. IFS teaches that there are no bad parts, only parts that need attention, care and support. Healing happens when we begin listening to our parts instead of fighting them. Sometimes when things feel messy, loud or even painful inside – it’s just a part doing it’s job. Maybe the part of you that avoids is just protecting you from overwhelm. Or the part that overthinks? That part might be trying to keep you safe. Using IFS in therapy means getting curious about what our parts need, what and where they learned these strategies, and integrating them back into the “family” in a way that provides more peace and connection.
The Well is a warm, inviting and creative space that is curated with you in mind. It is located in a historic home in the heart of Downtown Mesa.
