About the Practice

Wings of Hope is located in two states, Colorado (Colorado Springs & Denver) and Texas (Houston).

Although Colorado Springs is the home base, Julie makes regular trips to satellite offices in Denver and Houston. Wings of Hope offers individual, couple, group, phone, and intensive therapy.

Sexual Addiction Program
Julie provides a well thought out and structured program for individuals and couples based on the research model provided by Patrick Carnes. She recognizes that healing is much more than mere sobriety from the acting out behavior. In addition to help towards sobriety, using a trauma model, Julie provides therapy for the deeper issues behind the addiction. She states that trying to heal from this without God is like rearranging furniture on the Titanic, it’s still going to go down. That is why the central part of the counseling process is spiritual. All research and training is filtered through scripture, and if it is inconsistent with scripture, it is not a part of her program. She has seen God do wonders in this area, bringing clients and marriages from brokenness to restoration, affecting generations.

Intensives
Julie has held 2-7 day marriage intensives that incorporate experiential exercises for couples who have struggled with sexual addiction, marital infidelity, or other issues interfering with the joy God intended for marriage. She has also used the intensive format for individuals as well as parent/child and other populations.

Premarital Counseling
Julie is a certified Prepare-Enrich Counselor, through Life Innovations, Inc. http://www.prepare-enrich.com.

This is a well designed program that assesses strengths and weaknesses of the couple in all the major areas that research has shown to be significant determinants of marital success. After assessment, the couple is counseled according to their results.

Accommodates High Profile People
Some clients are in high profile positions, or for other confidentiality concerns seek a therapist outside their local area. In addition, people live in an area where there are no Christian counselors who are also CSATs (Certified Sexual Addiction Therapists). For these clients and those with other reasons who desire an out of town therapist, she offers regular phone sessions. Many choose to at some point supplement the phone sessions with one or more in-person intensive sessions where the client travels to Julie’s location or Julie flies to theirs.

I raise my eyes toward the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. ( Psalm 121:1-2)
