Hello, and welcome to Neuroconverge! I’m Dr. Julie Henzel (she/her/hers), and I am a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist. During my nearly 20 years in the mental health field, I have worked in various settings such as public schools, outpatient centers, and specialty Autism centers. Some of my areas of expertise are as follows:

• Child and adolescent clinical psychology

• Autism and developmental disabilities

• Psychological assessment

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

• Diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and learning issues

• Adaptation of therapeutic strategies to meet different learning, processing, and communication needs

• Diagnosis and treatment of autism with extensive mental health involvement/complex presentations

• Consultation on educational needs and programming

On a personal note, ADHD is my superpower, and I have other lived experiences with neurodivergence. I feel that my personal experiences have added depth to my professional skills by allowing me to develop a more authentic understanding of how neurodiverse brains work, the challenges that my clients and their families face, and the importance of treatment recommendations that are practical for real life. Also, as a woman diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I am very sensitive to the challenges and barriers that neurodivergent girls and women often face in obtaining appropriate and timely diagnosis and treatment.

Outside of my professional life, I am married and a proud mom to two girls and four “furry” children. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, going on hikes, singing, doing hot yoga, binge watching reality TV, and researching random information on the internet. Being in nature is my “happy place.”
