Getting to know Dr. Julie Klunk-Gillis

I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. In addition, I have significant experience providing therapy for individuals navigating major life transitions, grappling with big decisions, and increasing motivation for making difficult changes. My approach is warm, honest, and direct. I primarily use a cognitive-behavioral approach to help people reach their goals. Therapy begins with understanding each person's unique needs and hopes for treatment. Together, we collaboratively develop a treatment plan that serves as a road map to reach those goals. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from UMass Boston and hold a bachelor's degree from the University of Vermont. I am an Assistant Professor at the Boston University School of Medicine and Program Manager of a PTSD clinic at VA Boston Healthcare System. I have extensive experience working with veterans, first responders, and others who have experienced trauma. If you feel we'd be a good fit, please reach out to discuss.

What should a new client know about working with you?

It can be hard to ask for help. My approach is non-judgmental and compassionate, which can ease the discomfort that is natural when starting treatment. I believe that many people are stuck in difficult patterns and although they may want to change them, they are not sure what to do. We will work together to figure it out.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When you come to a session with me, you can expect that I will make space for whatever is coming up in your life, while also making sure to address the core issues that brought you to therapy in the first place. We will work to examine your thoughts and emotions and how those are linked to your behavior. You will decide what changes are most important to you and we will work toward those.
