I don't even know where to start. I guess I can start with Julia changed and saved my life. I suffered from anxiety/depression since I was very young, as I became an adult the anxiety got even worse and turned into addiction, unhealthy relationships, I felt like I was a walking shell almost every day of my life. Then I came across Julia's Yelp page in November 2017, and I reached out. Little did I know that she was exactly who I needed in order to be who I am today. As she told me, hypnosis is the easy part, but it's the other work that she gives that made me REALLY work on myself. Fast forward to today, I've found myself and my purpose. I'm overall a much better, healthier, happier, mindful person than I ever have been. (PS. I go to Pilates a few times a week now, you'd be so proud of me!) If you're feeling how I did back in November (and for months and years before that) and curious about alternative healing, don't have a second thought and reach out to her today. Thank you for giving me my life back, I didn't think I could ever feel whole. You really did give me a new lease on life. I'm embracing it every single day. read more

Julia changed my life. I came to see Julia at a time in my life when I felt stuck in a loop of anxiety, self-loathing and overthinking. I sent an email reaching out for an initial consultation and Julia replied promptly to set a date and time. That first meeting with Julia made me certain I'd met and found the right therapist. She was warm, thoughtful, patient. She asked me questions I'd never considered, and it never felt like she was probing. Just giving me the right amount of space to try and articulate all the noise in my head. I met consistently with Julia for more than a year. Scheduling was never an issue, and I never felt rushed for time during our sessions. The best way I can describe the atmosphere that Julia created for me is to say that it felt like I was meeting a friend in a warm, cozy cafe where I could speak openly and endlessly about all that was on my mind - without fear, judgment or negativity. I brought to her all the trivial, minute inconveniences that occur in anyone's life (spats with friends, awkward run-ins with neighbors, etc.) as well as all the bigger challenges life throws one's way (heartbreak, losing your sense of purpose) - and Julia always gave each of my issues its proper place and weight. She listened and we discussed, but she never gave advice that felt prescriptive or mandatory. Always thoughtful and considered. The shifts she helped me make in my perspective and self-talk are pretty extraordinary. You don't always feel the change happening in the moment, but it's only when I turned to look back that I realized so much had changed in my life and in my thought processes since I first started seeing Julia. read more

Julia was the transformative force that my life needed at a time when my unconscious patterns were creating many victimized situations in my materialized reality. Up until my inner journey with Julia I had done a great amount of analytical type therapy, and while sometimes informative and a good ground for contemplation, I ultimately still felt lost at having the actual tools of going forward regardless of life's challenges and adventures in a positive and constructive manner. Julia's expanded methodology, that combines many different therapeutic practices guided me in acquiring those tools, such as gentle and loving self parenting, positive attitude shifting, connecting more deeply with my mental clarity, and a vast variety of ways that still evolve as I am living this beautiful life that I now recognize as the most precious gift. I am so incredibly grateful for the profound, and consistent wisdom that now infuses my days! read more

Julia was THE BEST therapist I could have ever asked for. Compassionate, brilliant, tough and pragmatic when needed. I saw her for four years and she helped me deal with a ton of trauma and stress and create healthy coping mechanisms. I only stopped seeing her because I felt like she had helped prepare me with the tools to live without therapy . . .but I'd go back to her in a heartbeat!! You will not regret working with her -- she will change your life. read more

I cannot express my gratitude to Julia. I have been working with her on and off for over a year. Therapy under hypnosis is different from other kinds of therapy I had tried over the years including CBT. These sessions are structured to help you update your brain from 1.0 to 2.0. We created habits and fears as children that we have adopted into our adult life that are no longer healthy and cause problems to manifest like anxiety and depression. Julia helped me define my goals, change my self talk, and work on building mindful habits. YOU will be doing work. Keeping notebooks, and doing homework. Hypnosis doesn't mean you get to check out. You will be working every day consciously to make these changes in your life. She is great with working with your schedule. As someone who works from 8 am to 7 pm I don't have a lot of free time. She was able to help create a schedule that worked for me. Her prices are reasonable for the work you will be doing. The consultation is free! Take a leap of faith and try it! read more

My anxiety had increased to a level that I really believed I needed to be prescribed an anti-anxiety med to be rid of it. I didn't think that therapy would be beneficial because I felt my issues were brought on by an overactive mind and it was just a genetic thing. Fortunately while scouring reviews I came across Julia's. I liked that her therapy was designed to be a results based multi week treatment and not a lifelong commitment for sustained results like most therapist I was familiar with. More so, I liked what she had to say and gave it a shot. I was a bit skeptical of the effectiveness of online sessions that were necessary as a result of covid, however I can confidently say that I believe the online sessions were as effective as in person would have been. After just a couple sessions I felt better and was quite hopeful and after about 8 weeks I did not have any feelings of anxiety to report during the times between our sessions. You of course deserve to be happy, if you are not, do something about it today. For me this was the best decision and has had a profound effect on the quality of my life. read more

I went thru a very difficult time and was looking for some guidance from an experienced therapist. I was very hesitant and didn't believe that this would help in any way. Julia was recommended by a friend. During the first session I felt already very comfortable to open up. Julia quickly analyzed what was going and after few sessions was able to bring be back on track. I continue to see her once per week. It has changed my life. I strongly recommend Julia! :-) read more

I wish I could give her 10 stars. Julia is beyond amazing, she is calm, kind and practical. I signed up for 10 sessions with her. Initially, I would go to her office, then we moved our sessions online. We met every week on Facetime and it was great, our virtual sessions felt just as if we were "meeting in person". Julia has given me the tools to help me think clearly and be the leader of my life. I can't think her enough. Oh yes, the reviews are REAL :) read more

Julia is wonderful! Calm, kind, and offers wonderful insight. She is also very generous with her time and I never feel rushed or awkward if the session went a few minutes over. Every time I leave her office, I leave feeling better about myself and motivated to make changes. Thank you, Julia! :) read more

Working with Julia has been life-changing. I have been dealing with panic attacks and anxiety for a LONG time. I've been to a lot of doctors and recently a psychiatrist. They all insist that you just get onto an anti-depressant ASAP and then go see a therapist. I really didn't want to be drug-dependent; whether it be Valium or Lexapro. My girlfriend called a bunch of therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc and made a short list of people who were confident in working with panic attacks and anxiety disorders. We narrowed it down and ended up booking my free consultation with Julia after speaking to her on the phone. She was able to see me the next day! Julia doesn't make grand promises or up sell anything. We discussed what kind of schedule would work well for me. I was willing to do whatever to try to get some control over the situation and she could have told me I would need 20 appointments and I would have done it. Instead, she suggested we do a series of 4 appointments. First off, I felt a huge relief just booking an appointment and knowing that she is super responsive and easy to schedule with. A lot of other people are booked for weeks and slow to get back to you. Like I said before, she scheduled me for the next to do a free consultation. I felt confident in her and asked her to make my free consultation at a time where we could jump into the first session, because I was pretty sure I'd want to just get into it. After one session, I noticed a difference. I was able to get off Valium. After my 4 sessions, I've gotten a tremendous amount of relief. I'm off Valium, I didn't need to start taking anti-depressants. Obviously, that's my opinion and no one else's; but I'm just really relieved to not have to be dependent on either of those. Some people really need them, and I understand that and have been there, but they also seem to be super over-prescribed by some lazy or busy doctors. They also need to be combined with therapy anyway, so why not try therapy first? Julia's prices are awesome too. I don't think you could get much more value for your money. In summary, she's been an amazing help and very reasonably priced. Scheduling with her has been easy and pleasant. If you deal with panic attacks or anxiety, I wouldn't hesitate to book a consultation and see if you vibe with her. I can't imagine that you'd be disappointed. PS, there's a very convenient pay parking lot downstairs from her office and a lot of REALLY good food there as well. Tacos Tu Madre and the bakery there are both pretty awesome. Thanks again Julia! read more

I found this number for my wife and let me tell you it was a SURPRISE ! Yulia was super fast to answer and saw her the same day ! What a relief and what a good job she has done in 10 sessions ! I really thanks her and we will be coming back soon if we need it for sure I personally recommend her read more

I don't often write reviews but Yulia is great. She is really hard working, devoted to her clients and always follows up. I have recommended several friends to her. She has never disappointed. read more

I've been seeing Julia for several months for anxiety and trouble focusing. When I started seeing her, I felt stuck in my career and unable to pull myself out of a routine of bad habits. Julia has helped me work through my situation with passion and a renewed sense of control. Julia's thoughtful and genuine nature lends itself so naturally to the experience of therapy. You can tell that Julia thrives seeing her patients improve their issues. The tips and tools she provides (in follow up emails) truly aid the work done in each session. I'm grateful to be in a much better place thanks to my time with Julia! read more

Calm, patient, and compassionate, Julia impressively navigates complex and emotionally charged situations to provide excellent guidance. I found her use of sound logic and cognitive reasoning in her therapy extremely useful and beneficial to me while her session made sure I always left relaxed despite being involved in deep and sometimes hard discussions. Thanks for everything! read more

I found Julia because of Yelp so I feel like I should help others find her too. I came to Julia becuase I was overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and I couldn't think clearly. I had some major life choices coming up and I wanted to be able to navigate them and make the choices that I really truly wanted, instead of getting disoriented and making choices based on fear or anxiety. Julia taught me a lot about how to control my anxiety and get more control over my life. After seeing her for 10 sessions, I no longer feel blown around like a leaf. I feel much more stable, even when in a situation that would have previously cause a lot of emotional turmoil. She taught me very simple, practical, and EFFECTIVE tools that I can use for the rest of my life. She is kind of like a therapist and a life coach all wrapped into one. I'd recommend her to my closest family and friends. read more

I only had a few sessions with Julia and it has already been life changing for me. She is great at making you feel comfortable to be able to share your issues. I went to her to work on one issue that's been bothering me to prepare for one event in my life, but as a result Julia helped me resolve issues on a more permanent basis that now greatly improved my life. After these few sessions with her I've started noticing big differences in the way I approach things in everyday situations that were not possible before. I look forward to working with Julia to improve and discover myself. read more

I saw Julia for follow up sessions after I had finished the original series of Cognitive OS hypnosis. The only way I can describe the incredible effectiveness of the OS approach is this: i literally just don't FEEL the same way about certain triggers. And that feels nothing short of a miracle. And compared to other therapies, much quicker results. That being said, the idea of this is that you're leading yourself and taking action based on the help you get in hypnosis. The only part of the process where you get to lay down and do nothing is during the actual hypnosis - the rest is still up to you. :) As for Julia specifically, she's very intuitive, incisive and caring while keeping you focused on what you need to heal. She's also a trained psychotherapist in addition to being a hypnotherapist so you have both talk therapy with practical solutions and subconscious re-wiring in your sessions with her. Best of both worlds. read more

I have been seeing Julia for a few months now and I'm so happy I found her. When I initially went in to see her I was a mess; Struggling with major depression and anxiety and crying almost every session. I have almost reached my 10th session and that has completely changed. Of course, I still have my bad days and have to constantly work on my thoughts, but she has given me tools that I haven't found elsewhere to really help change my mindset. She has taught me how to get out of spiraling back into depression and how to be kind with myself. She really took the time to understand me and help me to discover who I am as a person. She is kind, engaged, thoughtful and brilliant. I'm so happy i built up the courage to see her. She has helped me in so many ways and I am forever grateful for our sessions. I always left her office feeling lighter and relieved. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, who you are as a person, or relationship issues, go see Julia now! :) read more

Julia is the best -- smart, kind, funny (counts for a lot!) and supportive. I felt completely safe in her hands as I tried to move my life forward. Now that our sessions are done, I will take Julia's insights and lessons into my daily life and build a much better future. Thank you, Julia. read more

I am one grateful woman. Julia is responsive, professional and most importantly, great at what she does. I look forward to my sessions with her, and I know that our work together has improved my life immeasurably. I found Julia via Yelp, and I am so glad I did! If you are at a crossroads in your life, or you simply need guidance, hypnotherapy with Julia will make a big difference. read more

Julia is a very professional, knowledgeable therapist. She has been instrumental in helping my daughter move forward in a very positive focused direction. I would definitely recommend Julia to my friends and family. read more

I'm an Iraqi war veteran, I served 6 years in the Army. When I got out I felt lost and all of a sudden I started getting anxiety attacks everyday and was really depressed. I would isolate myself and not care about anything in the world. I was just an overall unhappy grouchy person who would fight with everyone over anything. I went to VA and started taking medication to control my anxiety and depression. I also attended the group counseling they offered to learn coping mechanisms, but they didn't have a solution to my problems. My Army buddy recommended me to see Julia. I attended 16 cognitive hypnosis sessions. After the second session I started to feel happy again. Before I would get overwhelmed by all the stuff around me and couldn't focus. Now I feel confident and happy. I'm not on any medication anymore, I am not depressed and my anxiety is very low. My path to success is a lot more clear and I can't wait to see what the future holds for me. read more

After I had my first son, over five years ago, I started suffering debilitating daily nausea. The nausea was so bad, I became a recluse. I never knew when the nausea would strike and I found myself leaving shopping carts full of groceries when a bout of nausea would appear, I had to give myself pep talks just to pick up my kids from school for fear the nausea would strike then, and I was becoming known for canceling plans ALL OF THE TIME. It hit a low point when I quit my job as an elementary teacher, because I kept calling in sick all of the time due to the nausea. The doctor's diagnosed me with GERD and although nausea can be a side effect, a part of me knew there had to more to it. I was nauseated so much more often when I was out of my home, than when I was relaxing at home. I decided to look into hypnotherapy because I had tried everything else and I was tired of being on medication. I found Julia was local and decided to go to her. She has a clean, welcoming office she works at. Our conversations were nonjudgmental and she was able to discover something that no other doctor did. I was suffering from anxiety. Nausea was my only symptom, I didn't get clammy hands, tightness of breath, or any other stereotypical signs of anxiety so it had never occurred to me that was the issue. She started working to treat the anxiety. We met weekly for several months. She made a HUGE impact on my life. I think of ways my life has improved every day. One year ago, I was watching my best friend try on wedding dresses. i remember that day I took an extra dose of my anti-nausea mediation and was a wreck during the entire dress appointment. Dying for it to be over, just wanting to go home and be in my 'safe place'. It was awful. Just yesterday I went with my mom dress shopping for my sister's wedding at the same bridal store I had been at a year before. I took no medication yesterday, felt amazing and truly enjoyed the experience. I still occasionally have moments of anxiety, but I would say it is at least 75% improved from a year ago. I also now have the tools to get through those challenging moments. I plan to start seeing Julia again this year for maintenance sessions. I highly recommend Julia. If you have any preconceived notions of what hypnotherapy is, I think it's really important to try it so you can see for yourself how incredible it is. read more
