Julia Saari RSW

I’m a Registered Social Worker with a heart for helping children, teens, and young adults navigate the ups and downs of life. Whether it’s anxiety, difficult emotions, processing big questions, school or friendship struggles, or just feeling overwhelmed and sad - I’m here to help you or your child feel seen, understood, and supported.

 

My approach is warm, steady, and non-judgmental. I work hard to create a safe space where young people can be themselves, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and build the tools they need to feel more confident and grounded. I draw from a range of evidence-based practices and creative strategies that are age-appropriate, practical, and personalized to each client’s needs.

 

In addition to my work with youth, I also have experience supporting individuals impacted by substance use and addiction. I approach this work from a strengths-based, client-centered, and harm-reduction perspective, helping clients explore their goals and challenges without judgment. Whether you're in early recovery, unsure about making changes, or seeking support around how substance use fits into your broader life story, I’ll meet you where you're at with compassion and respect.

 

I especially love walking alongside clients in those “in-between” seasons of life - starting something new, figuring out who you are and what you love, or learning how to manage emotions and relationships in healthier ways. Whether you’re a parent looking for support for your child or a young adult trying to find your footing, I’d be honoured to work with you.

If you think we might be a good fit, I’d love to connect.
