Julie Portnoy, LCSW Therapist | Specialist in Adolescent & Young Adult Mental Health | ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Identity & LGBTQ+ Support

The journey from pre-teen, to adolescent, to young adult can be filled with many challenges—especially if you are trying to cope with issues of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, self injury or sexual orientation. My expertise lies in treating these issues within a framework of individual and family therapy as well as educational advocacy. I work from a family systems approach and believ

e that a therapist must look at how each area of life effects a teenager. I also believe that my role as therapist is to enhance the fit between my clients and all of the systems affecting them. I measure success in how a teen can balance those important areas of family, school, friends, spirituality, and work. I am committed to superior care, efficient and dedicated service, and effective results for adolescents in the Chicagoland area, including Evanston, Skokie, Wilmette, Highland Park, Roger's Park, Sauganash, and Glenview.

As I reflect on my lasts day at Endeavor Health after 25 years, I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the relationships, growth, and meaningful work along the way.

I’m now seeing clients full-time through Journey to a New Path Psychotherapy, PLLC, where I continue supporting teens, young adults, and families with thoughtful, collaborative, and systems-based care.

If you’re a professional seeking a referral option or would like to learn more about my practice, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to connect.

We will carry the memories of all those lost in our hearts forever. Their loss will serve as a reminder to us each day that we need radical change to end violence against trans people once and for all. Today, we honor Transgender Day of Remembrance. Tomorrow, we continue the fight.
