ABOUT JULIE
Julie Visnich has been a psychotherapist for over 15 years, working with an extremely varied clientele. She has a deep respect and discipline for scholarship in the areas of psychology and brain science, yet is equally dedicated to new and different styles of healing as well. She has traveled the country and world continuously over the past 15 years learning many ways to help people increase their levels of consciousness, and effect change in their lives.
She helps clients know themselves much more deeply, at the emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental levels. Most people in our culture are most comfortable in the mental aspect of knowing. Yet they are missing out on three quarters of the puzzle. Our physical, emotional, and spiritual (connected to something beyond self) aspects have great knowledge to impart, but most people are unfamiliar with how to access that information.
Julie combines a strong theoretical base, science, and metaphysical/spiritual aspects in a way that brings intense clarity. This work enables people to see and understand their lives from an entirely new perspective. With other aspects of themselves coming on line people begin to experience a level of contentment in their lives, and are more able to navigate through the world in a new way that is more heart centered.
One of Julie’s greatest gifts is to see situations accurately and objectively, and assist clients to look through a new lens to redefine how they see themselves and how they want to approach difficult situations. People are then more able to move forward on their life paths in ways that match their own values more closely instead of reacting in old and familiar patterns.
Julie is also able to bring a pragmatic approach to complex problems, and drill down to the core issues. She brings an additional unique perspective from having had a successful first career in corporate sales, business, and running a non-profit organization. All of this varied experience brings a certain wisdom to widely varied situations and experiences. Life has many complex issues such as work, career, family, and friendships to navigate- often accompanied by a longing for something that we cannot quite name. The work is aimed at reaching satisfaction in all of these areas.

Testimonials
Julie is a gifted and insightful therapist that truly holds the emotional development of our youth in the highest regard. Her ability to establish strong relationships with both our youth and their families creates a healthy growth place for all concerned. Julie’s eagerness to stay current with cutting edge therapy practices reinforces her leading role within our mental health community. I have had the privilege to work with Julie Visnich for approximately the past 3-4 years. I have had the opportunity to work with several therapists throughout my professional career and Julie has a gift in helping people see their potential and reach it. She is a joy to be around and lives what she believes.
It’s a big thing to say what Julie’s work has been for me. There is nowhere I feel safer or more unconditionally seen, supported and loved–than in a session with her. Been thinking a lot lately about trusting the professional to be the professional and leaving things I don’t really know anything about to the people who have devoted their lives to knowing about them. My hairstylist, my mechanic, my favorite restaurant’s chef or bartender. Not all “professionals” deserve that trust. They have to earn it still. Julie deserves that trust more than anybody I’ve ever known. She is absolutely the first person I go to for objective and loving counsel and guidance.
