My name is Julie Mann and am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in the state of Illinois. I earned my MSW at Walden University, and also achieve a PhD in Human and Social Services. My experience in mental health therapy includes working with youth residing in residential environments, providing assistance to a diverse group of clients via telehealth, and performing mental health therapy in a community health non-profit setting. Currently, I am working toward my Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and am close to achieving that objective. I enjoy working with youth and helping them overcome any obstacles that impede them from attaining set goals. One of my favorite pursuits is reading, especially murder mysteries and the crime drama genre. I also love to research and will spend considerable time searching for information concerning topics that pique my interest, as I have a significant curious nature.
