Cozy Couch Counseling
Welcome to
Cozy Couch Counseling
I’m so happy you’re here!
Therapy can be a challenging process, and one of the most difficult steps is taking the initiative to contact a counselor (and look, you’re already nearly there!) This is because once you meet with a therapist, you have someone walking through the healing process with you; you don’t have to do it alone anymore, and I’m happy to accompany you on this journey.

Julia Russo, LPC
(she/they)
​Hi there! I’m Julia
​I’m passionate about providing gender-affirming and trauma informed care to members of the queer community and to clients recovering from eating disorders, and specialize in the overlap that often exists between the two. I work with adolescents and adults and use a blend of therapeutic approaches to best fit each individual client’s needs and preferences.
​
I am also a certified therapeutic game master, meaning I can use games like Dungeons & Dragons therapeutically, and generally love bringing your interests and hobbies into sessions. Therapy is more effective when you're engaged and comfortable, and I believe there's strong therapeutic value in sharing the things you enjoy with someone you trust.
​
I graduated from the University of Denver with my Master’s in Counseling Psychology in 2021 after attending UNC Wilmington for undergrad, and since then have completed my Therapeutic Game Master certification, become a certified clinical supervisor in the state of Colorado, and am working towards my Geek Therapist certification as well.
