Julia Barker, LCSW

Julia is a gifted therapist, with many skills that she has learned through her commitment to continuing education and training, as well as her natural gifts of intuition. I have shared clients with Julia for over two years and trust her work completely. Julia is especially gifted with issues regarding trauma and difficult dynamics in one’s family of origin.

Julia is truly a gifted therapist. When I came to Julia for hypnotherapy I was feeling really stuck, uncertain and anxious. She helped me helped me move past my anxiety and able to connect to a deeper part of myself. She is very intuitive and creates a very safe space where I felt very seen and loved. After our work together, I felt incredibly peaceful and had a better sense about how I could navigate what was going on in my life. I can’t recommend her enough!

Julia Barker is an amazing therapist! She has a presence that is soothing and compassionate, genuine and caring. She creates a space of feeling safe, supported and empowered that has allowed me to dive deeply into myself to truly heal and release old pain and patterns.
I love that she can work intuitively and utilize different modalities, such as hypnotherapy and EMDR, to work organically with what is emerging and how it can most effectively be transformed. Each session with Julia has lead me to new insights and inspiration, a deeper connection with myself and wonderful shifts towards more peace and more joy!

I’ve known Julia for many years as a close colleague, and I can speak to her professionalism, intuition, therapeutic skill and sense of humor. Julia has skills in many modalities, and offers a unique blend of grounded theory with less traditional methods of therapy. She has a warm and calming presence which allows her patients to feel safe and trusting. I highly recommend her!

I’ve worked with what feels like a never-​ending parade of therapists. Therapists who don’t quite click. Therapists who don’t quite lead me where I need to be. But there are therapists and then there’s Julia. And if you’ve found her, you’re lucky. You can stop searching now.
I’ve been seeing Julia almost every week for over a year and in that time I’ve done everything from worked through an ancient and scary childhood relationship to quitting my job, moving abroad and starting the work I truly love. Julia’s serene presence and completely authentic (and often hilarious) self made me feel okay with being me. Every time I walked into her office was a day I felt like a normal human. Over time, that feeling lasted longer and longer. And on the days I still feel like crap? Julia is there. And if she can’t be? Her voice and message are, reminding me who I am at my mushy core. Most importantly, Julia and the numerous tricks up her sleeve have uncovered exactly what works and feels good for me. Not for you or the guy next door. Not for my boss or my mom or my friends. But me. Julia has made me feel safe, adored, brave and capable. She’ll make you feel that way too.
