Hi, I’m Julia Mateer!

It’s so great to meet you (virtually that is)! A little bit about me: I’ve dedicated my life to helping others navigate their faith and mental health journeys. My heart is to help you move toward spiritual and emotional health. My practice focuses on women’s issues, marital health, and church health. 

Christian Therapy in Bradenton, FL

My undergrad is in Child Development and I have a Master's in Professional Counseling. For the past 20 years, I’ve served the community as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and for the past 11 years, I’ve served in full-time ministry as a Pastor and Director of Groups at our local church. I offer online Christian counseling through a secure telehealth platform. Whether you’re looking nearby for a therapist in Bradenton or live further in the state, I’d love to help!

When I'm not in the counseling room, you can find me indulging in a cup of strong black tea, exploring local thrift stores, or discovering new places with my husband and spending time with family and friends.
