Julia V. Taylor is a K–12 Certified School
Counselor and author of The Body Image Workbook for Teens, The
Bullying Workbook for Teens, Salvaging Sisterhood, Girls in
Real-Life Situations (GIRLS): Group Counseling Activities for
Enhancing Social and Emotional Development, and the children's book
Perfectly You. (GIRLS is two separate curricula, one for secondary

Originating from the Washington, D.C., USA area, Julia received her
undergraduate degree in exercise science with a concentration in
health education from George Mason University. She received her
master's degree in psychology with a concentration in school
counseling from Marymount University. After a decade of school
counseling, she left the trenches of education to pursue a doctoral
degree in counselor education at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Julia began studying gender-specific topics during graduate school
and focused the majority of her research on body image, relational
aggression, and self-esteem issues during the tumultuous adolescent
years. During that time, she realized there was a lack of relevant
curricula available to educators specific to the social and
emotional development of young women. Because of this, she decided
to research and write her own. Julia frequently presents her
research and experiences with educators, parents, and students. She
has presented over 100 workshops, breakout sessions, assemblies,
and keynote addresses across the country. Julia has a passion for
helping girls to develop a true sense of self, stand up to
unrealistic media expectations, take healthy risks, and cultivate
meaningful relationships. When not working, she enjoys running,
writing, and spending time with friends and family in Brooklyn, New
York, her home away from home.
Dr Shannon Trice-Black is currently a doctoral
student in counseling education. She has been a school counselor
for over 10 years and continues to maintain a small part-time
counseling practice, working with children, adolescents, and
adults. Shannon has presented her work and writings on classroom
guidance, bullying, and relational aggression at conferences,
workshops, and master's level classes. She serves on the board of
the Jefferson Counseling Association and the Virginia Association
for Counselor Education and Supervision. In addition, Shannon is a
member of the Virginia Counselors Association, Virginia School
Counselors Association, and American Counseling Association.
