Getting to know Julie Weigel
As a therapist specializing in parenting and child development, Julie Weigel, LMFT, is excited to share her approach to family therapy. Based on her training as a marriage and family therapist and her 25 years of clinical experience with children and parents, her sessions are geared to truly transform family dynamics and set children up for lifelong success. Julie Weigel’s therapy incorporates strategy, self awareness, skill building with attuned listening, and the innovative Nurtured Heart Approach, a game-changing method for parenting education.
What should a new client know about working with you?
At the core of her therapeutic style is a strengths-based perspective. Rather than focusing on problems or deficits, she helps parents identify and build upon their child’s unique strengths, talents, and positive qualities. By consistently reinforcing and celebrating a child’s successes, however small, parents can foster an unshakable sense of self-worth and confidence.
Julie provides extensive psychoeducation and coaching on parent-child relational skills that builds on the power of reflective listening. When parents truly listen to their child’s thoughts and feelings without judgment, it creates an emotional safety net that encourages open communication. Children who feel heard and validated feel more confident and develop intrinsic problem solving skills. As a result, they are more likely to develop strong self-awareness and emotional intelligence, key building blocks for navigating life’s challenges.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Crucially, the Nurtured Heart Approach is values-based. Julie works with parents to identify and convey their core family values, then teaches techniques to shape behavior by highlighting and positively reinforcing actions that uphold those values in their children. This could mean praising a child’s honesty, kindness, perseverance, or any other quality the family holds dear. Even children who seek negative attention eventually become convinced that these values are an integral part of their identity with regular recognition and emphasis from their parents.
The benefits of parenting therapy extend far beyond better behavior. By presenting a united front and using consistent, nurturing strategies, parents lay the foundation for their child’s lifelong social and emotional well-being. A child who grows up feeling seen, loved, and capable has the confidence to dream big, the resilience to overcome setbacks, and the emotional tools to build fulfilling relationships.
In a world that often fixates on problems, Julie Weigel’s parenting therapy is a beacon of positive psychology. Her blend of the Nurtured Heart Approach, reflective listening techniques, and strengths-based strategies don’t just help families survive – they help children thrive. If you’re ready to unlock your child’s limitless potential, I wholeheartedly recommend exploring Julie’s transformative approach.
