JULIA HENGST, LMFT

My psychology training includes a range of Western psychological theories (family systems, couples counseling, trauma-informed therapy) and Eastern ideas/concepts and techniques. I trained in Depth Hypnosis with a focus on Shamanic Counseling, which empowers clients to connect with their own guides of higher consciousness. For this, we use some guided imagery practices, helping the conscious mind take a well-deserved break and the unconscious mind to bring its powerful gifts of healing.

I specialize in working with empaths or people who are highly sensitive/psychic, but work with birds of all feathers! Family systems from a transpersonal psychology perspective is another speciallty.

For therapy to be effective, it is crucial to trust the integrity of your clinician. A suggested part of my training program is ongoing therapy and as such it is important to know I am regularly working on my own "stuff" and learning from each client I am fortunate to meet.

As one of my mentors said, "The time for the 'wounded healer' is passing. Let us embrace the call of the healed healer!'"

My entire goal in life is to be of benefit to all living beings, so I have learned as many skills as possible to that end.

After a free consultation, clients will give me their history in the form of an emotional biography, where I will ask questions relating to their whole life. We will also discuss what is bringing them into therapy.
