Julie Kessler, LMFT
Senior Associate
Julie (she/her) is a warm, curious, and solutions-focused therapist who brings a rich, multidisciplinary background to her clinical work. After an early career in psychology and a decade as a head teacher in New York City - where she supported children’s academic, social, and emotional development and partnered closely with families - Julie developed a strong foundation in attunement, communication, and relationship-building that continues to inform her therapeutic style. Her professional journey also includes years in client-centered roles across wellness, sales, and nonprofit leadership, where she honed her ability to connect authentically, build trust, and support individuals through meaningful change. These experiences ultimately led her to transition into the field of marriage and family therapy, where she is committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate trauma, relational challenges, and life transitions. Julie creates a nonjudgmental, collaborative space where clients can begin to separate their sense of self from their struggles and move toward greater clarity and self-understanding. She integrates evidence-based approaches including Gottman Method, DBT, CBT, and Narrative Therapy, offering both insight and practical tools to support healing and growth. She holds a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University, as well as a Master’s in Education and a Bachelor’s in Psychology.
