Choosing a therapist can be a daunting process. I am inspired by anyone who is willing to reach out to a complete stranger, in order to challenge and heal themselves. I believe safety and non-judgment are among the most important aspects of the therapeutic relationship. I am committed to supporting you as we explore your thoughts and feelings, looking closely at barriers that until now have limited your insights and clarity. Your power to feel better comes from looking inward, instead of out, and I want to help you do the work to get to that healing place.

I often talk with clients about feeling exhausted, disconnected, overwhelmed, very worried, or sad, and we look for strategies to find some support, peace, excitement and joy in their day to day. I work with pregnant and postpartum people to manage anxiety and mood, and to explore ways to adjust to parenthood and expanding families. I love to help all people work to manage sleep behaviors using cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.

As a Black, queer, and social justice-oriented therapist, I believe in helping clients move beyond survival mode, even when it feels impossible. If you're struggling with low mood, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, existential issues, identity, race/multicultural concerns, gender/sexuality, or other challenges; you're not alone. Life can be overwhelming, especially in times of uncertainty. As someone who’s walked a similar path, I offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy to support you in navigating these challenges. You've already shown immense courage by seeking help, and I’m honored to be part of your journey.

When life feels overwhelming, finding meaning and connection can feel elusive. Layer on the struggles inherent in our current world—family dynamics, life transitions, climate anxiety—you name it, and it’s no wonder it can feel impossible. In my work, I help people navigate life’s murky waters, and the feelings of inertia that can come with the territory. Helping people connect with, and stay true to, their authentic selves is what makes my work meaningful. I work particularly well with clients who struggle in relationships (including with adult family members), as well as adults with ADHD or those who suspect they might have ADHD.

Hello! My name is Julie Schmidt. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) providing Client Centered counseling for Californians for nearly 20 years.

Hello! Whatever your reasons are for considering counseling, I hope that you are able to see the wisdom and the bravery in seeking assistance. Our mental and emotional health are important and have a large impact on our relationships, careers, and general well-being. They should be treated as a priority. Consider that people go to the gym to take care of their bodies, and that taking preventative measures are more effective and efficient than waiting until something breaks down. We take these attitudes towards our bodies, why not our minds?

We are wired for connection — with our internal selves, with others, and within broader communities. But oftentimes there are barriers. It can be something we learned when we were small and trying to survive, a challenging message or "should" from the world around us, or a loss we struggle to understand. Many of us seek therapy to better know who we are and what we want, and be able to communicate that understanding to those around us. Whatever brings you to therapy, your awareness of seeking someone to walk with you on this healing path is a great first step!

We are all works in progress - or as I see it, masterpieces in the making. In therapy, my hope is to create a safe place for you to share the joys and challenges of being human in this world. It is a place to explore patterns that continue to show themselves, a place to explore how family, community, institutions, and social systems have impacted us, and a place to grow in awareness so as to participate more authentically in the fabric of life. I firmly believe we all carry the potential to transcend our history and patterns and view my job not as healer but as a human creating a space for you to find the healer within yourself.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. My approach to psychotherapy is referred to as psychoanalytic or insight-oriented therapy. This type of therapy stresses that each person and their difficulties are unique. And that our difficulties are often rooted in factors outside of our awareness. People seek therapy for a situation that requires attention, and in my experience this generally concerns multiple and interacting problems rather than isolated symptoms. As therapy progresses the immediate feelings of distress typically diminish in severity. It then becomes possible to focus on understanding the factors that contributed to

Because everyone comes with their own needs, goals, and styles, I am flexible in my approach. I can be practical and problem-focused, but much of my work is deeper, and deals with emotional patterns developed early in life, I work a lot with trauma and loss. Attending to the therapy relationship is also important for learning about relationship patterns and trust. I bring my love of creativity to my work as well. Working with dreams and imagery, I find, can bring surprising insight. When therapy really takes off, I find that clients often discover their own creativity and a sense of life purpose.

I am a psychotherapist specialized in working with adults, couples and families. I offer support for a wide range of issues and challenges. My approach is grounded, warm, engaged and collaborative. I work from a relational psychodynamic perspective. Our past experiences and traumas can have a significant impact on the way we relate to ourselves and others. With the exploration of this old patterning we can be empowered to make different choices. In doing so, our lives have the chance to be made anew.

I believe one of the most important parts of therapy is the relationship we build together. Feeling safe, seen, and supported is the foundation of trauma work. I am a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), trained in EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I specialize in helping individuals with complex PTSD (C-PTSD), anxiety, depression, and chronic stress reconnect with their bodies, rediscover their worth, and find relief from persistent symptoms like hypervigilance, emotional numbness, addiction, and codependency.
