Getting to know Julia Kantor

I'm a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT) with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the California Family Study Center, and I've been working with individuals and couples in private practice for 26 years. I am trained in EMDR and several other healing modalities. One specialty is working with new moms and couples in postpartum adjustment. I’ve led conscious parenting Mommy and Me and Parents and Me groups for 16 years. Another specialty is working with couples, integrating research-based tools of the Gottmans. I’m passionate about knowing my clients and being part of their healing journeys. My approach I’m best suited for high-functioning clients motivated to gain insight and make meaningful change. I use experiential (parts work), mindfulness, and EMDR therapy (for those interested). Creating a safe, attuned space is central to my approach. Experiential work and EMDR can facilitate profound change in a shorter time. Building mindfulness allows us to shift old habits and self-criticism. Observing thoughts and feelings brings more choices and freedom daily. I help clients learn self-care, communication, and stress-coping skills that fit their lives. My focus I see individual adults and couples. I have extensive experience with anxiety, depression, stress/self-care, life transitions, and women’s issues (postpartum, perimenopause/menopause). Many clients are adult children of emotionally immature parents, and EMDR has been very helpful for that. My communication style My style is gentle and direct. I create a safe space for clients to express needs, feel heard, and be validated. I trust clients come to therapy to bring change or get to know themselves better. I welcome clients’ feedback throughout so the experience is collaborative and most helpful!
