I’m Julie Smith (she/her), MA, MFTC, an IFS Level 2 trained therapist and IFS coach whose life has been profoundly transformed by my own IFS journey.

My work as a marriage and family therapist focuses on supporting individuals, couples, and families, helping them navigate their inner worlds and their relationships with compassion and curiosity.

As an IFS coach, I work specifically with therapists and other helping professionals around the world who want to deepen their own inner work while balancing the demands of professional life.

In our sessions, you’ll find a safe and brave space to explore the complexities of your internal system, unravel old patterns, and nurture greater clarity, self-compassion, and resilience. Together, we’ll support your personal growth and strengthen your ability to show up authentically for yourself and others.

My ultimate goal is to help you experience more wholeness, freedom, and fulfillment—both personally and professionally. [Learn more about Internal Family Systems (IFS) here]. 

My mission as an IFS therapist and coach is to support meaningful change by helping individuals, couples, and families connect with their inner wisdom. I believe self-discovery and healing build self-compassion and resilience, which in turn strengthen relationships and communities.

By helping people understand and care for their internal systems, I hope to contribute to a culture of greater empathy, understanding, and connection.

River, my co-therapist, is a certified therapy dog through Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD). He is a gentle, intuitive Golden Retriever who works alongside me in person at the office, offering calming companionship and emotional support to clients.

River’s warm presence can help ease anxiety, foster connection, and create a sense of safety during sessions. Whether he's simply resting nearby or offering a soft nudge for comfort, River is an important part of the healing environment we create together.
