Julie Wilson, LMFT

Julie Wilson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT in California with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addiction, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, life transitions, ADHD, and codependency.

Julie uses a relational approach in sessions. She pays attention to both present symptoms and deeper themes that affect how people relate to themselves and others. She leans on attachment ideas and client-centered work to notice how patterns formed early still show up in relationships today.

Her style includes elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation skills and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape connection. She also draws on existential and depth-oriented perspectives to talk about meaning, identity, and the parts of the self that feel split or stuck.

In a session she listens for patterns like people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, control struggles, and dissociation. She mixes practical skill-building with conversations about deeper feelings and life meaning. Sessions are straightforward and often include simple exercises or skills to try between meetings.

Julie holds two master's degrees, one in East-West Psychology and one in Counseling Psychology. Her background informs both skills-based work and longer, reflective exploration of how past experiences shape present choices.
