Pregnant or a new mom and find yourself saying, "I need sleep and I can't stop thinking about all this!", "What is something happens?", "No one else can take care of my baby better than I". Does your child or teen struggle with stress and worry? If this is you, you are not alone. Your day does not have to be filled with countless hours of worry or uncertainty. Schedule a consultation today and let's get brighter days ahead! This space if for you!

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life understanding. I’m not only a clinician—I’m also someone who has personally experienced anxiety, panic, and grief. I believe deeply in the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility for meaningful change.

Parents often find comfort in learning more about their child’s development while gaining practical tools to support them at home. Children benefit from a safe, engaging play space where they can express themselves and grow.

If you're ready to feel more connected, confident, and supported, I invite you to take the next step. Schedule a consultation today, and let’s begin your journey toward hope and transformation.

Anxiety and perfectionism have turned your mind into a battleground. Your inner critic nitpicks every interaction, leaving you exhausted by thoughts of “Damnit, why can’t I just be better!” Painful memories get louder, no matter how hard you try to ignore them. Daily invalidations of your Latina, queer, or immigrant identity sting, and you feel isolated as you keep your suffering to yourself. You’ve tried everything: doom scrolling, drinking, and self-help books, but nothing has worked. You're left feeling hopeless and weighed down.

Dr. Julie Cohen

Psychologist

Virtual • California


avigating emotional distress or long-standing conflict can feel like being fractured, but healing often begins with finding a reliable and experienced partner. I am Dr. Julie Cohen, a Clinical Psychologist with over 45 years of experience. I have spent my career helping individuals, couples, and families resolve conflict—whether it’s occurring in the living room or the workplace. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and stress, particularly for those who are ready to dive into their inner experience to improve how they feel about themselves and their relationships. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by providing the expert, seasoned care necessary to handle even the most complex challenges with precision and kindness.

I believe that the foundation of our work is a relationship of absolute trust and safety. My extensive training allows me to look at your life through a wide lens, understanding how your past experiences and upbringing shape your current personality and challenges. I encourage an honest and direct dialogue, as that is where true mutual understanding begins. When I am not working with clients, I value the perspective that comes from a long career dedicated to human behavior, often finding restoration in the very principles of balance and growth that I share in my sessions. I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me, knowing they have a safety net of four decades of clinical expertise behind them.
