Practice Overview
Hi, I'm Julie Artinian Callaway, LLC and I offer bespoke, private-pay therapy for adults, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with online sessions available to residents of Michigan, Ohio, and Florida.
Trained as both a LPC and LMSW, my approach is relational, compassionate, and depth-oriented: I help clients slow down enough to understand what's really happening beneath the surface, rather than simply managing symptoms. My work is well suited to thoughtful, self-reflective clients who are looking for more than quick fixes: people who may have already done significant work on themselves in prior therapy but still feel stuck in familiar patterns, or who want to address root causes rather than just cope.
Specialties:
Trauma & PTSD — including EMDR and Somatic EMDR for adults processing past traumatic experiences
Anxiety — generalized worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, and phobias
Burnout & stress — particularly for professionals in high-demand, high-responsibility roles
Grief & loss — including loss of a loved one, pregnancy loss, pet loss, divorce, and other life transitions
Populations Served:
I have particular expertise supporting adults in caregiving and high-stress professions who often carry the weight of others' experiences while managing their own, including:
Therapists and other mental health professionals
First responders
Moms/Caregivers
Military personnel
Teachers and educators
Physical health professionals
Modalities:
EMDR, Somatic EMDR, mindfulness-based therapy, and an eclectic integrative approach tailored to each client.
For clients who want focused, accelerated healing, I offer EMDR intensives — extended sessions designed to do deep trauma work in days rather than months of weekly appointments.
What Makes My Approach Different:
Unlike short-term, symptom-focused approaches, my work goes deeper — helping you understand the roots of your patterns, not just manage them.

In-person sessions in Ann Arbor, MI; online sessions available throughout Michigan, Ohio, and Florida. Private pay and/or OON only. Free 15-minute consultation offered before starting.

Sessions are unhurried and collaborative. We move at a pace that feels right for you, making space to explore what's really going on beneath the surface rather than rushing toward quick fixes.

I'm a licensed therapist with specialized training in EMDR and Somatic EMDR, with a focus on helping adults in high-responsibility, caregiving-oriented professions heal from trauma, anxiety, and burnout.

Quick FAQ:
Do you take insurance? I'm a private-pay practice, which allows for more flexibility and depth in our work together. I am able to provide a superbill if you wish to seek reimbursement via your insurance.
How long does therapy take? This varies by person, but many clients begin noticing meaningful shifts within the first several sessions.
Do you offer virtual sessions? Yes — online therapy is available throughout Michigan, Ohio, and Florida.

Fees & Insurance
My practice operates on a private-pay basis, which allows therapy to be guided entirely by your needs rather than insurance rules — no diagnosis requirements, no session limits, and no pre-authorization delays for specialized approaches like EMDR or intensives.
Why private pay: Working outside insurance networks means your care stays fully confidential, with no diagnostic reporting or third-party oversight. It also means faster access to care (no waitlists or approval delays) and the flexibility to choose the pace, session length, and approach that actually fits your goals.
Individual sessions:
55-minute session: $125 / $150 / $175 (sliding scale)
90-minute extended session: $265
Initial intake (first session): $225
EMDR intensives (for clients seeking focused, accelerated trauma processing):
$200/hour
3-hour session: $600
4-hour session: $800
Sliding scale: I believe therapy should be as accessible as possible, so I reserve a limited number of sliding-scale spots for clients with financial need. Availability varies, so reach out to discuss whether a reduced-fee spot is currently open.
Out-of-network only. Ask about superbills for possible reimbursement.
Out-of-network (OON) benefits: While I don't bill insurance directly, many clients use out-of-network benefits to offset the cost of care. My OON rate is $175 for a 55-minute session, and I'm happy to provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for potential partial reimbursement. I'd recommend checking with your provider beforehand about your specific out-of-network coverage, deductible, and reimbursement process.
