Treatment Approach
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
Approach Description: Neuro-Affirming Support: I offer a safe, affirming environment for ADHD and Autistic individuals, including formal adult ADHD/Autism assessments.
Specialized Modalities: We utilize tools that go deeper than the surface to resolve trauma and foster a more integrated sense of self.
A Relational Foundation: In our first few sessions, we will focus on identifying what is currently holding you back while building a relationship defined by warmth, affirmation, and often a little humor.

I’m Juliette Kuhlmann, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping teens and adults navigate the complexities of trauma, addiction, anxiety, and neurodivergence. My practice is designed for those seeking to move beyond traditional talk therapy and toward a deeper understanding of the root causes behind their distress.
By integrating EMDR with attachment and structural dissociation-informed therapy, I provide a specialized space focused on creating real, physiological relief. My approach is rooted in the belief that while symptoms like addiction or anxiety are often what bring someone to therapy, the path to healing lies in addressing the underlying structural and relational patterns that keep those symptoms in place.
