Meet Julia Nepini

Julia has almost two decades of experience as a clinical and forensic social worker. She launched her practice Compassionate Counseling Company in 2017, expanded her team, and now helps entrepreneurs do the same while hosting the Compassionate Climb podcast. She taught herself all of the aspects of business that were not covered in graduate school and is here to teach all the lessons learned throughout her journey. She shines when helping solo practice owners build powerhouse teams that are collaborative and supportive as well as expanding their reach by diversifying income streams.
