Julie Zhu, LCSW
Psychotherapist, Self-Compassion Coach
I believe that all human beings deserve to be seen, understood and feel worthy of love, abundance, and joy. At Fortuna Counseling and Coaching, I offer a warm space where you can contemplate life’s deeper meaning and to process through narratives, traumas and core belief systems that have been holding you back from creating a life that you truly love. I support you with cultivating a deeper awareness with your inner dialogue and thinking processes, while fostering a relationship with your emotional body to heal your nervous system.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions who seek greater belonging and connection with themselves. I support clients struggling with worthiness, people pleasing, imposter syndrome, and low self-esteem to remember just how powerful they really are. As a first generational Asian-American, I also work well with Asian-American Millennials navigating the unique struggles that intersect with broader generational traumas/concerns and balancing cultural heritage with American societal norms.
I offer online therapy to residents of Colorado and California, as well as online coaching services to clients all over the world. My services support clients with finding safety and security within themselves, developing skills to regulate difficult emotions, and cultivating secure attachments. This may look like developing healthier boundaries, rewiring and reprogramming limiting beliefs, develop a self-care practice, cultivating discipline, and identifying a value system (your "north star"). This work will allow you to live a life grounded in purpose, self-compassion, inner strength, and resiliency.
We all possess the ability to improve the quality of relationships that we have with the world and most importantly the relationship that we have with our selves. Who we are holds purpose and value. Opportunities for growth are abundant, and it's up to us to embrace the role of the hero in our personal stories. I would love to connect with you if you are looking for a heart-centered practitioner to support you with moving forward in a meaningful way. I invite you to make a free discovery call if you have any questions regarding my services and to see if I am a good fit for your needs!
"In a world that teaches us to look outside of ourselves to find our treasures, I invite you to look inward to uncover the fortunes within. What if we are all gold mines of playful, visionary, and curious ideas that might just transform the richness in which we live?"

What is the difference between Coaching and Therapy?
Coaching and therapy are both valuable tools for personal growth and development. Therapy is a form of treatment that helps individuals improve their mental health and well-being. It is focused on addressing and healing past emotional and psychological wound. Therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. Coaching is a more short-term process that is future-oriented and aims to help individuals achieve specific goals and improve their overall performance. Therapy is typically conducted by licensed mental health professionals and coaching can be provided by individuals with various backgrounds and expertise. I utilize my skills and knowledge base as both a therapist and a coach to meet the individual needs of my clients.
Self-Compassion Coaching
Self-Compassion is a powerful tool that can support you with your mental and emotional well-being and to develop a deeper relationship with yourself. It is the act of treating yourself with kindness, understanding, and acceptance, especially in moments of difficulty or failure. It involves learning how to hold ourselves lovingly even in the face of mishaps and cultivate feelings of warmth and care towards oneself, rather than harsh self-criticism. My coaching offering will support you with cultivating greater emotional resilience, improve your relationships with yourself and others, reduce your baseline level of stress, boost your self-esteem and cultivate a more positive outlook on life.
Inner Magic Coaching
Inner Magic coaching utilizes spiritual frameworks and practices to help individuals connect more deeply to the divine and to remember their power. We will look at major astrological aspects and the "Part of Fortune" in your astrological birth chart to foster curiosity and identify opportunities for growth and abundance. A dose of tarot is also utilized to grow a relationship with the collective card of the year, your personal card of the year, and your soul path card (calculated by your birthday and numerology) to better understand certain themes and lessons that may be playing out in your life. This offer is also allows you to cultivate relationships with your personal spirit squadron which is made up of angels, ancestors, and other divine supporters to support you on your hero's journey.
