Julia Barker, LCSW

Hi, I'm Julia!

 

I'm a holistic psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and coach dedicated to helping you achieve profound change and personal growth. As a Bay Area native and alumna of Claremont McKenna College and Smith College School for Social Work, I bring both local insight and a rigorous academic background to my practice.

​

I stand out because I am deeply committed to your transformation. I provide direct, transparent feedback and guidance, ensuring you feel seen, understood and supported throughout your journey.

 

My approach integrates deep empathy, evidenced-based techniques, practical tools, and intuitive insight, creating a unique therapeutic experience that is both compassionate and effective.

​

My holistic practice combines Western psychology with Eastern philosophy and ancient wisdom. I use traditional talk therapy as a foundation and incorporate methods like:

​

• Mindfulness Meditation

• Somatic Therapy

• EMDR (for anxiety & trauma)

• Hypnotherapy

• Coaching

• Breathwork

​

In order to facilitate deep, lasting change. I may also provide homework assignments to help you integrate our work into your daily life.

​

For couples,

 

I utilize evidence-based models such as EFT, PACT, and Gottman to improve intimacy, communication, and understanding. My extensive training and innate intuitive abilities allow me to identify the underlying issues in your relationship, helping you build a strong, connected, and healthy foundation.

 

Imagine transforming your relationship by revealing the deeper meanings behind the words and actions that keep you feeling stuck and apart. Your words are very important, but often, non-verbal cues are the root of miscommunication and disconnection. By gaining insight into these unconscious dynamics, you and your partner can achieve deeper connection, intimacy, love, and stability.

​

Together, we will navigate through any challenges, helping you build a resilient and fulfilling partnership that can weather any storm.
