Julie Kotler, LCPC, LCPAT, ATR-BC 

As an attachment-focused therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the challenges of complex PTSD. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the impact of early relationships, trauma, and emotional disconnection, helping clients rebuild a sense of trust, safety, and belonging—first within themselves, and then in connection with others.

My approach is integrative and personalized. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help clients gently challenge stuck beliefs and reclaim their narratives. For those who benefit from creative expression, I incorporate Art Therapy as a powerful tool to access and process emotions that may feel difficult to put into words. I also work with Somatic Awareness, inviting clients to listen to the wisdom of their bodies, release stored trauma, and reconnect to a grounded, present sense of self.

I believe healing from complex trauma isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about creating a deeper, more compassionate relationship with yourself. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just beginning your healing journey, I’m here to walk alongside you.
