Invitation from Dr. Juls

“What progress, you ask, have I made? I have begun to be a
friend to myself.” Greek philosopher

You are invited to rediscover and deepen the most
valuable friendship in your life, with the person who
stands before you in the mirror.

JULIE A. LYLE, Psy. D., LMFT

As a licensed psychotherapist, I have spent 30 years weaving experience and wisdom from thousands of hours with clients seeking clarity, healing and hope. These women and men have arrived to the counseling “couch” grappling with a question: are they worthy or lovable due to experiencing rejection, loss, betrayal, shame, neglect and regrets? Healing comes in all shapes and sizes yet with one distinct, constant truth …in order to befriend oneself, emotional wounds must be healed. To embark on this repair; courage, curiosity and comfort are necessary tools. To strive for contentment; kindness, clarity and patience must be cultivated.

Testimonials

“Approximately three years ago I met Julie for the first time at one of her workshops.  I had endured several major life stressors all within six months and was feeling depressed, isolated, and completely overwhelmed.  I mustered up the courage to attend the workshop and as I walked in, was so overwhelmed I began to cry.  Julie demonstrated empathy and compassion and was exactly what I needed.  She provides a therapeutic environment that provides safety, honesty, compassion, empathy, and initiates self-reflection and self-discovery.  In the time we have worked together, have gone back to school, started a new career, and according to friends I have become the “wise one”.  I have more clarity, mental autonomy, and have a stronger resiliency than ever before.  When friend ask how I’ve done it…I say, move 3000 miles away from family and friends, fall into a deep depression, dig deep with a good therapist, and the rest falls into place.”  Connie, age 39

“I’ve have seen other therapists and have never experienced what I did when I began to see Julie. I came to her hoping to find a way to deal with leaving my painful marriage. I brought with me a lifetime of hurt and confusion. I was abused as a child, had been through some awful relationships and was at the point in my life where I could not find joy. Julie knew how to be gentle when I needed it. She is insightful and listens with more than just her head.  She always seemed to know when it was time for me to move on.  I didn’t like letting go when it was time to do it on my own but she did just the right thing.  Its often said that therapists want you to come in week after week, year after year but Julie helps those of us with broken wings learn how to fly.” Catherine, 48

“My sessions with Julie have led me down a path of self-discovery and understanding.  She has helped me to identify the woman I want to become.  I came in to counseling thinking I needed to save my marriage, but realized that I needed to save myself first.  At age 37, I am finally a “whole” woman.” Sasha, age 37
