Julia Friedman is a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master of Psychology from Adler Graduate Professional School. She brings a strong foundation in evidence-based clinical practice to her work with adults and adolescents.
Julia supports clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and a range of life transitions and stressors. She takes an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring her methods to each client's unique needs and goals. Her core modalities include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy. Alongside these, she draws on trauma-focused approaches such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This combination allows her to address both immediate symptoms and deeper, underlying patterns shaped by past experience.
Julia's clinical philosophy is affirming and trauma-informed, recognizing the impact of lived experience on present-day functioning. She believes a successful therapeutic relationship is built on compassion, trust, and empathy. Above all, Julia is committed to creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to move toward healing at their own pace.
