Welcome Julie Beach, MFT Trainee

We are delighted to introduce Julie Beach as the newest addition to our clinical training team at Oak Creek Relational Counseling Center in Pleasant Hill, California. Julie joins us as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) Trainee, bringing with her a rich background of service, resilience, and deep compassion for those navigating complex emotional experiences.

Julie’s path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by nearly twenty years as a paramedic and peer support provider, particularly among first responders and veterans. Her firsthand understanding of high-stress environments and the psychological toll they can take makes her uniquely attuned to the needs of clients who are often used to powering through pain silently. Julie creates a space where vulnerability is not only welcomed but honored—a space where clients can take a breath and reconnect with their emotional world.

​In her clinical work, Julie integrates trauma-informed principles with mindfulness and attachment-based therapy. Her approach is rooted in authenticity and mutual respect, focusing on helping individuals, couples, and families restore connection and build insight. Whether someone is working through anxiety, trauma, relational distress, or emotional exhaustion, Julie offers a thoughtful, grounded presence and a willingness to walk through the unknown alongside her clients.

“I know how difficult it can be to ask for help—especially when you’re used to being the one others rely on,” Julie says. “Therapy doesn’t require you to have everything sorted out. We can begin wherever you are, together.”

Please join us in warmly welcoming Julie Beach to our therapeutic community. We’re honored to support her clinical journey and look forward to the meaningful contributions she will make in the lives of those who seek care at Oak Creek.

​Julie is supervised by Stephen Polin, LMFT #7861.
