My Approach
Hello, I'm Julie Klecker, CEO and President of Artizo Ministries. I am a licensed professional counselor in two states, Michigan and North Carolina. I adhere to the ethics, rules, and standards that encompass those two licenses. I always endeavor to create a safe space for those seeking counseling. This means I like to give you an opportunity to get to know me and feel at ease during sessions. I give you my full attention and active listening skills, focusing on your unique perspectives and experiences without making assumptions or judgements. Once we discuss together and determine what goals you would like to achieve in therapy, we choose the best approach.
About Me
Before I became a counselor, I attended Penn State and worked in the steel mills of Western PA on summer breaks. When my parents divorced, I dropped out of school and joined the military. I served for four years in the US Navy as a Chinese Linguist assigned to the National Security Agency. After that, I programmed computers for John Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. My work history also includes providing administrative assistance in differing marketplaces and educational institutions. While completing ministry school in Charlotte, NC, I was a singles and evangelism pastor for a short time.

The Vision...
The vision statement of Artizo Ministries is to relieve the suffering of individuals, couples, and families from the effects of simple and complex trauma, emotional/relationship/marriage issues, stress, anxiety, ministry and helping professionals burnout, and depression by incorporating holistic healing practices. Prayer and inner healing methods are available for those seeking faith-based methods. Everyone entering counseling will feel accepted, heard, seen, and supported working with a partner on their unique challenges. Individuals seeking inner peace will learn to relate better to self and others while experiencing improved self-esteem and positive social experiences. Learning boundaries, assertiveness, and how changing limiting beliefs emanating from childhood experiences are some of the useful and hope-generating outcomes from our counseling sessions. We endeavor to be affordable for every budget. However, we encourage a willingness to invest in your wellness and value the healing process as much as possible, in hopes you are mentally positioned to receive the absolute most you can get from therapy.
