My Approach
Hello, I’m Julie Klecker, the CEO and President of Artizo Ministries. I hold licenses as a professional counselor in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina, and I am also a Chaplain certified by the International Fellowship of Chaplains. I strictly follow the ethical guidelines and standards associated with my licenses, including the American Psychological Association's directives for practitioners. My goal is to provide a safe environment for those seeking counseling, allowing you the chance to get to know me and feel comfortable during our sessions. I am committed to giving you my full attention, listening actively, focusing on your unique experiences without assumptions or judgments. Together, we will identify your therapy goals and select the most suitable approach to achieve them.
About Me
Before I became a counselor, I attended Penn State University and worked in the steel mills of Western PA on summer breaks. When my parents divorced, I dropped out of college 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.

Artizo Ministries' Vision...
Artizo Ministries aims to alleviate the suffering of individuals, couples, and families affected by both simple and complex trauma, and relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, ministry burnout, and depression through Christian healing practices. Prayer ministry available upon request. Our hope is that everyone who comes to counseling feels accepted, heard, seen, and supported as they navigate their unique challenges with their partner. Individuals seeking inner peace will learn to foster better relationships with God, themselves, and others, enhancing their self-esteem and social interactions. By understanding boundaries, assertiveness, and transforming limiting beliefs from childhood into empowering truths, meaningful change can occur. At Artizo Ministries, you'll find encouragement and a commitment to fostering a healing therapeutic alliance.
