Julio Colon

Greetings, I’m Julio, a dedicated Professional Counselor Registered Associate, driven by a passion for assisting individuals in navigating the complexities life and their emotional well-being. Originally hailing from the vibrant city of Las Vegas, I have found solace and inspiration in the natural beauty of Southern Oregon. After attaining my bachelor’s degree in human services from Southern Oregon University, I completed my master’s degree in clinical mental health from Adams State University, equipping me with advanced skills and insights to support my clients in their journey toward healing and recovery.

Before transitioning to mental health, I proudly served in the US Navy. This experience, coupled with living in diverse geographic locations, has granted me a nuanced understanding and profound respect for the values, beliefs, and norms of individuals from various backgrounds. I approach counseling with curiosity, fostering active exploration of both the client and the family system. I believe that the focal point of therapy should always be on meeting the client’s needs, by fostering a lasting therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client that yields lasting, positive, and achievable results.

I offer a comprehensive range of services, including psychotherapy and neurofeedback therapy, to address a variety of mental health and life challenges. My therapeutic approach blends academic knowledge, military and life experience, as well as genuine empathy to create a warm and understanding environment for clients. Grounded in the belief that everyone deserves support on their wellness journey, I am dedicated to guiding individuals through challenges, fostering resilience, and promoting positive change.

I prioritize the therapeutic relationship, emphasizing honesty and trust as foundational elements. My areas of expertise include PTSD/Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship struggles, Behavioral issues, stress and substance use disorders. Using a compassionate and structured approach, I aim to help individuals who are dealing with a diverse range of issues, address and get down to the root cause of their problems. Utilizing therapeutic modalities such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, as well as Neurofeedback, I aim to facilitate meaningful and transformative experiences for my clients, providing them with the tools and skills to improve their daily life.
